Normally, I leave my hair loose when I go to bed, as most sleep styles just aren't comfortable to me.
However, I just slept in a (cheap, homemade, acrylic yarn) paranda braid last night. I'd just made it and braided it into my hair to test it out late at night. Because I liked it and didn't want to take it out yet, I let it help me skip a wash with my shower. Then, it was time to sleep...
It was super comfy! My hair stayed together, didn't rub all over my pillow and tangle, and I was able to throw it in a lazy wrap bun in the morning without messing with it. It's still in there now, actually!
I've only done it this once, so now is the time to ask whether there's anything inherently damaging about wearing a yarn paranda to bed? More damaging than leaving it loose, that is? I probably won't do it every night, but thought it was an encouraging way to stretch my washes (from every 2nd to every 3rd day to start). If it helps prevent a little damage, that would be great, too!
