7 Silk Head Wraps to Protect Your Hair While You Sleep

Would you ride your bike without a helmet? No. Would you go to sleep without wrapping your hair? Never. When it comes to maintaining hairstyles, retaining length, and preventing frizz, the noblest work is done at night — and this goes for all hair types. Sleeping (otherwise known as six to eight friction-laden hours of rooting your scalp on a pillowcase), can rough up your hairstyle and muss your edges, leaving you with dry, tangled strands you don't want to deal with the next morning. Unless, that is, you wrap your hair before climbing under the sheets. Run-of-the-mill satin hair wraps tend to rival Jiffy Pop packaging, so we’ve narrowed down chic alternatives that turn nighttime hair protection into a pretty treat.

Silke London the Sofia Silk Turban

There's no way you're going to wear this to bed and not feel totally luxurious. These turbans are 100 percent silk, slip on easily, and look like something a flapper would wear lounging around the house — with a long string of pearls and a matching robe, of course.

Isoken Enofe Faziah Bonnet

These colorful, satin-lined Ankara print bonnets remind me of a wealthy and glamorous aunt who wears robes with fuzzy feather trim around the house. Plus, they come in three sizes, so if you have or super long braids or locs, it'll all fit right in there.

Mango Printed Satin Scarf

Keep those edges firmly in place by tying this beauty over them to preserve those swoops and swirls. Wear this to bed or to the bar and still look super cute.

We would say don't sleep on this bandana, but...maybe do sleep in it. This print is one of the brand's best-sellers, rendered in a material that will be gentle on your precious strands.

Long-haired curlies, this one's for you. SwakCouture’s satin-lined headband is the lazy girl trick for keeping your pineapple intact. Wake up to tangle-free volume by resting with your curls piled high.

The old school print lends this scarf its vintage feel. Plus, it'll look good with all of your loungewear.
