Hair problems

Hello all,

This is a strange one, I don't get restful sleep at nights and I think I'm tossing and turning a lot during the night, this has resulted in the top layers of my hair becoming really rough and in poor condition ( from rubbing on the pillow case I suppose)

Has any one else ever experienced anything simillar or have ideas to help protect my hair from further damage?

    Try a good old fashioned Hair net

    silk pillow cases are supposed to help but I found it hard to find decently priced ones and in the end gave up looking

    my younger daughter suffered this.
    try cotton pillow cases - which will reduce the static.
    a conditioning shampoo. or a bit of olive oil massaged onto hair (&or scalp) - then wash off in morning with usual shampoo.
    oh - and see if you can pinpoint the reason for restless sleep eg stress, too much caffeine or distractions before sleeping,...

    If hair is long enough, then a pony tail on top of your head works. Looks stupid but leaves the top layers in good nick.

    My friends and Mum, with long hair, sleep with it in a loose plait to prevent breaking.
