The last time I went to bed without a bonnet, I woke up to find my pillowcase covered in hair oil (bad for my skin) and my hair a hot, frizzy mess (bad for, well, me). Not to be dramatic, but hair bonnets are as essential and necessary as oxygen. Wrapping your hair up in one helps to extend the life of hairstyles, prevent frizz, and retain moisture while you get your Zzzz in. Sleeping without one can dry your hair out or cause breakage and other hair woes. Silk or satin bonnets provide all those benefits wrapped up in plush, soft fabric that makes styling your hair the next morning a seamless process. You can never have too many bonnets, so here are 13 more styles that will keep your hair happy, healthy, and hydrated.
