Benefits of wearing a durag
The benefits of wearing a durag are endless. There are so many advantages to it if you wear one every night before bed. Many people don't see the importance of sleeping on a cotton pillowcase with a 100% silk, satin or polyester blend du-rag. People that have very sensitive skin may not agree however.
Wearing a durag is amazing for the skin, hair and scalp. It keeps your dreadlocks off your face so you don't create wrinkles or acne from rubbing on your pillow while I sleep. Additionally, it promotes healthy hair growth because it's shape allows air to circulate around your head while you sleep at night. The heat from our head when we rest it on the pillow is a perfect environment for bacteria, fungus and mold to grow in your hair. The firmness of the du-rag stops this from happening which is an additional benefit that promotes healthy scalp, skin and hair growth.
The benefits go beyond health though. Wearing a durag during sleep helps men with long dreadlocks keep them out of their face. It also helps women with loose hair or curly hair that might get tangled in your head while you sleep. Durags help with this issue and prevent tangling, locks getting caught in your hair, and they promote longer healthier hair growth because of the way it shapes to the shape of your head when you sleep.
So, if you want to promote healthy hair growth, decrease bacteria and fungus in your locks, not have tangled or caught hair while you sleep, and keep foul smells out of your dreadlocks then you should wear a durag every night before going to bed. This will help with all those problems and more!
