Less breakage means more length retention and who doesn’t want that?
Type 4 hair has more coils and curls on a single strand than other hair types. As such, the strands tends to wrap around each other easily which can often lead to tangles if not kept in check.
Covering your hair with a bonnet or any silk lined material will not only protect your hair from drying out and getting super tangled, but it will also prevent excessive and/or unnecessary breakage!
You can find bonnets at any beauty supply store near you, or online (e.g. Amazon, Aliexpress or any black owned hair store on Instagram or Etsy). You can also use silk scarves, but you have to make sure they stay on throughout the night because they tend to slip off easily when not secured properly.
Alternative:
You can also buy a silk or satin pillowcase if you don't want to worry about your scarf or bonnet falling off in the middle of the night.
