The 10 Best Hair Bonnets for a Luxurious Sleep

Bonnets are great for protection at night, but true protection comes from a diligent hair routine. Emmanuel suggests analyzing your wash day products to ensure the quality is top-tier and supports hair health.

“Use products with ingredients that support hair growth and the well-being of your scalp. Try adding V&Co. Beauty Shampoo and Conditioners to your hair care routine, as their affordable options benefit both hair & scalp and are free from sulfates, parabens, gluten, dyes, and phthalates. These ingredients tend to irritate the scalp.

Using products with safe ingredients is healthy for your hair and helps create a healthier environment for hair growth. The brand has a Proprietary Peptide Blend with amino acids, proteins, and vitamins that help all hair textures and types. V&Co. Beauty Shampoo and Conditioner is also color-safe, and you do not have to worry about the shampoos stripping moisture from your hair or scalp,” she explains.

Keeping consistent with your trims will make your hair flourish. “Trim or cut your hair every three months to reduce split ends and hair breakage. Cutting/trimming your hair does not help it grow, but it does help prevent hair from breaking off,” she offers.

Emmanuel emphasizes the importance of a healthy diet complete with “vitamins like A, C, D, and E, omega-3 fatty acids, and zinc. Stay hydrated by drinking half your body weight in water. This helps your hair and skin stay hydrated. Your scalp is skin and needs the same hydration as the skin on your face and body,” she says. Most importantly, steer clear of hairstyles that do more damage than good. While certain hairstyles may look beautiful, too much stress on the hair can result in breakage and split ends.

“Avoid wearing tight hairstyles that pull or add tension to your scalp. These styles include tight ponytails, buns, braids, hair extensions, and faux locs. Styles that pull your hair follicles cause traction alopecia, a type of hair loss that causes hair loss along the hairline. Wear these hairstyles in moderation and ensure they are not hurting the scalp,” she explains.
