Before I started using a bonnet, I would experience breakage, but my hair would still grow normally.
After a few years of using a bonnet, I realized my hair appeared to stop growing I didn’t realize why until now; it wasn’t a moisture problem it was my bonnet; I used a double sided “silk satin bonnet” it felt smooth and I thought that it would do wonders for my hair.
Instead, it did the opposite: my hair felt more fragile, regardless of how many times I moisturized. The only way I could retain length was by using protective styles.
I didn’t have any problems with my hair growing before without the bonnet regardless if I had protective styles or not something I really noticed was that after using the bonnet my hair had more split ends and fairy knots.
I ask sincerely, please choose the right bonnet don’t be cheap when picking such things.
