it is ok very uncomfortable to sleep with [SEP] ok this hair rod is ok in a pinch while traveling i put a t shirt on my head to sleep because i have layered hair and some of my hair was trying to unravel it takes a few tries to see how to correctly twist your hair around the front of my hair is ok but the sides and back does not look good i am assuming just like all things if i keep trying it may look better my huge con is how uncomfortable it was to sleep i am not a back sleeper i sleep on my stomach or side and having this on made it really hard to sleep i have used lots of other sleep rollers that i could actually sleep with rods sponge rollers so i am really not sure i can suggest it because of the loss in sleep good luck hopefully others find this helpful
