Can you get waves with a wave cap?
Wave caps can also provide compression to lay your hair down, but I wouldn’t recommend sleeping in your wave cap by itself as it tends to move if you toss and turn at night. Using a durag is the recommended way to compress your waves when going to bed. Some wavers use their durag during their wash session.
How long do you have to wear a wave cap to get waves?
30 minutes
Use a hand brush to brush your hair down on the front, sides, and back, then place a stocking cap securely over your hair to hold the wave in place. The cap should be tight, but not too tight, and you should leave it on for at least 30 minutes. Over time, your hair will form the waves easier as you train it.
What is a flex cap?

What happens if you wear a durag too much?

Does a durag prevent hair growth?
Durags do not cause hair loss. They are usually made of a silky, satiny material that won’t snag or break your hair. They can also be tied as tightly or loosely as you’d like so as not to suffocate your hair follicles. Therefore, durags in and of themselves are not linked to hair loss.
