How to sleep with dreadlocks - sleeping with dreads tutorial
Watch this video tutorial about how to sleep with dreadlocks
There are no rules to "sleeping with dreadlocks", most dreadheads just sleep without thinking of what to do and what to not do, but when you first start your dreadlock journey you always tend to over think about everything, you want to do everything right and not to miss any kind of maintenance
Anyway, you may use some of these tips:
1- Clean your pillow and sheets from any visible lint or dust, dreadlocks are like magnet to dust, you don't want them to catch anything whil you're sleeping
2- You may put a wool cover on your pillow to encourage the knotting, especially if your dreads are young, a lot of knotting will happen when you sleep
3- You may also make a dread bun on the top of your head, it is more comfortable than having them tied up in the back when it feels like sleeping on a big lump
4- Putting your dreads in a T shirt prevents them from getting in your face while you are sleeping and also keeps them free to move around, unlike when they are tied up or in a bun
5- Always try to avoid sleeping with damp dreads but if you have to then put a towel on your pillow, and spread your dreads all over it
6- If your dreads are young you may sleep with a loose wool hat, it would help the dreads knotting and it's also comfortable to sleep with
Eventually you will end up sleeping with your dreads the same way you use to sleep with your normal hair and there's nothing wrong with that, but sleeping on your dreads in the same way every night may cause some of them to become flat
