Preventing Acne: Wearing a satin scarf to sleep is a great way to keep your hair off of your face, so that your hair oils, or products, aren’t transferred to your skin (or onto your pillow and then onto your skin) over the course of the night. Moisture helps mitigate the damage done to your hair and prevents breakage so you are able to keep your strands intact and they can grow longer.Ģ. Having moisturized hair allows each strand to be a little bit smoother, as it swells from hydration, therefore decreasing the resistance between the movement of the strands. The more raised the cuticle is, the more friction between your strands. Straight hair has the smoothest cuticle layer, but the curlier your hair is the more raised it is, and with chemically treated hair the cuticle layer is practically wide open. Hair cuticles aren’t smooth surfaces, they are similar to tiles on a rooftop. Dryness causes your hair to be less lubricated and therefore there is an increase in friction when you do regular activities, like styling, combing, or even just sleeping on it.
