Sleeping with traditional fallera buns can be quite a challenge—but it’s totally doable with the right techniques. Whether you're in the middle of Fallas or prepping for a second day of photos or festivities, there are ways to protect your hairstyle overnight without ruining it (or losing sleep).
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you sleep with your fallera hairstyle intact and minimize damage or discomfort:
? 1. Use a Scarf or Hair Net to Hold Everything in Place
Wrap your buns carefully with a silk or satin scarf, or use a fine mesh hair net.
This reduces friction against the pillow and keeps pins and braids from shifting while you sleep.
Tip: Tie the scarf like a turban, knotting it at the front or top for extra hold.
?️ 2. Sleep on Your Back and Elevate Your Head
Try to sleep flat on your back, using an extra pillow or cushion to slightly lift your head.
This helps avoid pressure on the side buns and prevents them from flattening.
If you tend to move a lot during sleep, roll up a towel and place it at your sides to help stay in position.
? 3. Check and Reinforce Pins Before Bed
Before lying down, make sure all pins are firmly in place.
Add a few extra bobby pins if needed to secure any loose sections.
? 4. Avoid Using Hairspray Right Before Sleeping
Skip the hairspray at night—it can cause strands to harden or stick unnaturally while you sleep.
Save the final touch-up for the morning, when you can reshape or refresh the style.
? 5. Light Morning Touch-Up
Have a fine-tooth comb, extra pins, and hairspray on hand for minor fixes in the morning.
Usually, just a few minutes are enough to get your hairstyle looking flawless again.
⚠️ What If You Need to Sleep in the Buns for Multiple Days?
While it's possible, sleeping in a tight hairstyle for several nights can stress your scalp and cause discomfort.
If you must wear it for several days, try to loosen the style slightly overnight or restyle it between events to relieve tension.
? Final Thoughts:
Sleeping with fallera buns takes preparation, care, and a few tricks, but it’s entirely possible to wake up with your hairstyle intact. With the right accessories and positioning, you can enjoy every day of Fallas (or any traditional event) without the need to redo your hair from scratch.
