Yes, you can sleep with weft hair extensions in—as long as they're properly installed and you follow a few protective steps! Weft hair extensions, especially if sewn or glued in, are meant to stay in for weeks at a time, including overnight. But nighttime care is key to keeping them (and your natural hair) looking and feeling their best.
Check out Indique Hair’s weft collections—crafted from 100% Remy human hair for a long-lasting, natural look. And right now, it’s the perfect time to upgrade:
Here’s How to Sleep Safely with Weft Hair Extensions:
1. Braid or Tie Up Your Hair
- Put your hair in one or two loose braids or a low ponytail.
- This helps prevent tangling and matting overnight.
2. Use a Silk or Soft Scarf (or Pillowcase)
- Reduces friction and breakage
- Keeps your extensions smooth and soft
3. Brush Before Bed
- Gently detangle your hair with a normal comb or loop brush to remove knots.
- Start at the ends and work your way up to avoid tugging on the weft.
4. Don’t Sleep with Wet Hair
- Always make sure your extensions (and natural hair) are completely dry before heading to bed.
- Sleeping on wet wefts can lead to mildew, tangles, and even scalp irritation.
What Not to Do:
- Don’t go to bed with loose hair—it increases tangling.
- Don’t use cotton scarves or pillowcases—they create friction and suck moisture from your hair.
- Don’t pull your hair tight when tying it up—this stresses your roots and the wefts.
