Invest in CPAP Hair Protectors

One of the best ways to care for your hair during CPAP therapy is to cover your hair before you put on your CPAP or BiPAP headgear. Here, you can choose your preferred hair covering, from bandanas to beanies, scarfs, wool hats, and others. The ultimate goal is to protect your hair from getting stuck in the CPAP or BiPAP headgear and breaking it or rubbing your hair to the point it falls out. However, some people have a hard time sleeping with items on their head due to claustrophobia and more.

Take Great Care of Your Hair

Taking great care of your hair can go a long way in preventing hair loss in general. Getting the right nutrients for your hair and ensuring there are no tangles or knots help to protect your hair from getting stuck in your CPAP headgear. If you have longer hair, try tying your hair up at night or sleeping in a bun. This both keeps the hair out of your face and makes it harder for it to get stuck in your CPAP headgear.

Invest in CPAP Headgear Padding

If your CPAP headgear is padded, including the straps, there's less of a chance hair will get stuck in the headgear and the soft surface won't be as damaging to your hair when it rubs up against it. Plus, your headgear won't irritate your face, either, so you'll be less likely to adjust it in the middle of the night. CPAP Liquidators sells great headgear padding. Check them out online today!

Change Your CPAP Mask

If you are still experiencing hair loss due to your CPAP or BiPAP headgear, try changing up your mask style altogether. You'll want to find the CPAP mask that works best for you, but one that you don't move or shift too much in due to being uncomfortable while at rest at night. Having two different types of CPAP or BiPAP headgear can help to prevent damage to your hair overall, too. Shop our headgear online today!

Choose a CPAP Mask With No Headgear

There are types of CPAP masks that don't involve headgear that can eliminate the problem of friction at night altogether. This type of CPAP or BiPAP headgear is for those who breathe out of their nose. This can be a great option, and our online CPAP store has many options for you to consider and try. Shop today!
