There are lots of reasons that might lead you to decide that you want to sleep in your wig. You might be sharing a bed with your new partner and might be nervous to show them your natural hair – particularly if you are suffering from alopecia or any other cause of hair loss, so can you sleep in your wig? Will it stay on? 

We’re here to help you with your burning questions about whether or not you can sleep in your wig.

Should you wear a wig in bed?

So, can you wear a wig in bed? The short answer is yes, the long answer is that it is not recommended. This is because you will most likely wake up with all sorts of knots and tangles that will damage the integrity of your wig reducing its lifespan in the long run. Looking after your wig correctly is very important. 

The friction between the fibres of your wig and your pillow will cause significant matting, and more importantly FIBRE FRICTION which is an irreversible form of damage

Sleeping in your wig can also be extremely uncomfortable, so you might not get a good night’s sleep if you do decide to run the risk of sleeping in your wig.

As tempting as it might be to sleep in your wig we do recommend that you invest in a turban or nightcap instead. See the range of headwear by www.wigs4u.co.uk its a large range with a multitude of styles, colours and fabrics. 

We heartily advocate embracing your natural appearance for any romantic events you might be planning. It will mean that you will enjoy the occasion so much more as you will be able to relax and fully let your body and mind enjoy the sensations and mood.

 Natasha Manoura, an alopecia sufferer, wrote about the challenge of enjoying sex while wearing a wig. As a thirty-three-year-old single woman, the challenge and pressure of trying to live a full life whilst battling alopecia must be significant. 

However, she explains how much more she enjoys sex by removing her wig. That’s why we recommend that you let your inhibitions go, embrace yourself as you are and enjoy those bedtime moments to the full. Love yourself.
