It is often said that one’s hair is your crown, and while this saying is usually directed at women, the same can be said about men. This is why putting the necessary effort into ensuring that your hair is in optimal condition is extremely important.
While most males often find themselves content with the idea of settling for only having a decent haircut and clean shave, taking care of the overall health of one’s hair is even more important.
According to men’s grooming expert Parker’s Barbershop the benefits of proper hair care is that “it prevents hair from becoming dry, brittle and damaged. A good hair care routine for men should include regular shampooing, conditioning, and moisturising to remove dirt, oil, and product buildup. This will help restore your hair’s natural luster and shine.”
Additionally, the above-mentioned source explains that when you properly care for your hair, it helps prevent scalp issues such as dandruff, itching, and irritation.
The added benefit of this is that it gives you a neat physical appearance, causing you to have a lasting impression on those you encounter on your daily journey.
It is for this reason that many males have now also embraced the idea of wearing bonnets both during nighttime as well as during the day. This is especially beneficial to those who find themselves losing scalp moisture and the breakage of hair.
What is the purpose of wearing a bonnet?
According to American bed manufacturing company Ameri Sleep, “Bonnets shield hair from friction and absorption into cotton pillowcases, preventing breakage, knots, and moisture loss as you sleep.
“Those with curly and coil textures have long utilised bonnets to preserve their curls, but straight and thin hair can also benefit.”
Furthermore, Bonnet manufacturing company, Bonnet Co has revealed that more men are embracing the idea of utilising this to ensure that there is minimal to no breakage when it comes to their hair. In addition to this, the above-mentioned sources explain that the best fabric to use is silk.
Ameri Sleep also highlights that silk bonnets are praised for being breathable and hydrating. This is because the natural fibre regulates temperature and retains moisture.
More men are embracing this idea as it provides them with a newfound confidence, decent physical appearance, and overall hair health.
