Can You Sleep with Hair Extensions?

There are some do’s and don’ts when it comes to sleeping with your newly acquired hair, and it all depends on the type of extensions you have.

Please take a look at our list below where we cover pretty much all existing types.

Can You Sleep with Clip-In Hair Extensions?

As a general rule of thumb, it’s not recommend to sleep with clip-ins attached, mostly because the clips could break and after all, these extensions are designed for for those that want temporary results.

Can You Sleep with Keratin Hair Extensions?

Absolutely. Since Keratin extensions are attached using the most natural hot fusion method, there is no way for hair attachments to break or suffer any damage while sleeping.

Can You Sleep with Tape-In Hair Extensions?

The answer is also yes. Just like with Keratin hair, the hot fusion method ensures long lasting look. Just be sure to get a higher quality tape if you don’t want for it to fall out while you are asleep.

Can You Sleep with Stick / I Tip Hair Extensions?

Unlike the last two types we discussed above, stick extensions are attached without using any heat, which you would think could affect your sleeping regime. However, the good news is that yes, you can sleep with stick hair as well, as long as it was properly attached by a highly skilled stylist or a hair dresser.

Can You Sleep with Micro Ring Loop Hair Extensions?

While these extensions are attached using the cold fusion method as well, you can still sleep with them. The only thing that you need to remember is the fact that such extensions need to be re-adjusted from time to time. Otherwise, there is a risk of some strands falling out due to loose loops.

Can You Sleep with Weft Hair Extensions?

For wefts and sew-in hair, it all depends on the attachment type but the overall consensus (or 99% of the time) is that yes, you can safely sleep with such hair. Otherwise, it would be pretty inconvenient to take them out every single time you are going to bed.
