Do we use Silk, Satin, Sateen, or a Polyester scarf?

Yeah, I thought I was doing something great for my hair so I was willing to pay it. An 'investment'-not!

You DID try and I commend you for it. I'm sorry that this happened. Something $3-5 a yard on these sites I named would be perfect. A habotai or even a chiffon. If your WalMart cheapie is working for you, I'm glad to hear it.

I feel badly about that $40 silk, I do. erplexed

Always 100% Silk Scarves, I've been able to pick up on "Clearance" at either Marshall's or TJ Maxx. (The Long Rectangle ones).

Although the Ladies in another Thread reminded me that I have/had a Set of Satin Pillowcases too.

Most Recently, I invested in a PrettyWrap from: prettywrap.com It Works Great.

The Scarves usually "slip" off once or twice a night, but the PrettyWrap stays securely in place All Night.

Great Investment. And a Good Night's Sleep.

I went to a fabric store and bought a 1 yard square of 99% silk 1% stretchy stuff (I can't remember what). It was a waste of money. Its not as smooth as my cheapie wal-mart head wraps. My hair catches on it. The oil from my hair caused the scarf color to bleed onto my sheets. Blah! $40 wasted. I love my cheapie head wraps.

LB: Check these Out. Trust Me.........You'll Love them!

I find my wraps easier to do when the scarf is much longer... not a square. I wrap my hair like a turban not a bandana and it doesn't move at night.

What store sells silk or satin where the cut of the scarf is much longer... not square?

They all come in white only (to be dyed if you wish) but here they are in large sizes.

I am a polyester girl, but I think I will give silk a try and compare the two.
