Does Sleeping On One Side of Your Face Affect Beard Growth?

Sleeping on one side of your face does have effects on beard growth ranging from skin wrinkling, skin ulcers, and high skin temperature to tearing and breakage of hair on one side only. Diminished blood flow is also another effect.

Although it may not always be damaging, squeezing makes our skin layers fold in on themselves. This may prevent some hair follicles from moving freely and cause them to overlap, as well as prevent skin growth as you sleep and maybe impede beard growth.

Your choice of pillow will also affect the temperature of your face while you are sleeping. According to a 1996 study, using a specific cooling cushion significantly reduced forehead skin temperature compared to using a polyester pillow.

Hairs may become torn as you move your head. The beard tearing can be more obvious on one side if you prefer to sleep on that side more often. The skin layers surrounding the hair follicle will be damaged even if the pulling doesn’t tear them.

TEARING OF HAIR

Regularly rotating and twisting your face on the pillow can put a lot of pressure on both the hair’s root and the entire hair fiber. There is a possibility of breaking the keratin structure and causing the hair to die or fall out.
