Can You Sleep in a Wig Safely?

Occasional sleep may be possible in a securely installed wig, but removing it is usually better for the wig and scalp.

Friction can cause tangling, shedding and lace damage, while constant coverage may trap sweat. If removal is not possible, loosely braid long hair and use a satin bonnet and pillowcase.

Never sleep in a painfully tight or irritating installation. Follow the adhesive maker's wear-time guidance.

• Remove glueless wigs nightly
• Protect lengths with satin
• Clean the scalp during extended wear
