When it comes to wearing a toupee or hairpiece for men during sleep, it is generally recommended to remove them before going to bed. Wearing a toupee while sleeping can lead to tangling, discomfort, and potentially damage the hairpiece itself.
Here are a few reasons why it’s advisable not to wear a toupee during sleep:
- Comfort: Toupees are typically designed for daytime wear and may not provide the same comfort level when worn overnight. The adhesive or attachment method used for securing the hairpiece may cause discomfort or irritation if left on for an extended period.
- Hairpiece Maintenance: Removing the toupee before sleep allows you to properly clean and maintain both your scalp and the hairpiece itself. Regular cleaning helps prevent product buildup, keeps the scalp healthy, and prolongs the lifespan of the hair system.
- Preservation of Hairstyle: Sleeping with a toupee can cause friction against pillows or bedding materials, leading to potential matting or misshaping of the hairstyle that was initially styled in place.
