Do you tie or wrap your hair at night?

[Vshanell]

I don't feel right w/o my scarf. I will wake up in mid-sleep if I forget to put it on, lol. If I want a slight bend to my hair I will sleep in a loose bun w/ my scarf and if I want it completely straight I will do a banded ponytail instead of wrapping because I think wrapping made one side of my hairline thin.

I couldn't vote... my answer would be "sometimes"... but lately I haven't been wearing something over my hair at night... I'm wearing my hair in two strand twists and when I do wear something over my hair, it smashes my twists down and makes them look all funky-shaped... my hair looks better after waking up without having something over my hair.

I tie it up with a silk/satin scarf or a bonnet mostly but sometime I do wrap it.

I wear a silk scarf every night. I just tie it on like a bandana and tuck the corner in under the knot so no hair is exposed. If I'm ever really tired and fall asleep without it, I wake up without fail about 15 minutes later groping around to find it. I'll be half asleep but I will tie that thing on

 

[EMJazzy]

I sleep in a silk bonnet every night....my 2 y/o daughter just asked me for a "hat" to sleep in.

 

[KhandiB]

Ive been brainwashed and cannot sleep without a bonnet on my head

 

[ariesluv]

nope! i'm a bad gurl but try my best to start !

 

[DragonPearl]

I don't. My hair would probably grow longer if I did tie or wrap it at night, but I just can't do it.

I HATE having anything around my head when I sleep, I get headachy and the quality of my sleep suffers. What's a girl to do? I sleep on a silk/satin pillowcase, and I just hold my hair down with hairpins so I don't get tangles.

I have to wrap nightly. Otherwise, my ends will be stick straight instead of slightly curved and my hair will be very dry. Not having to bevel with a flat iron and have dry hair is enough reason for me. Plus I'm to the point now where if I don't wrap, I don't sleep as well because of my hair being in my face when I sleep. I put some oil on the ends only and then wrap with a paddle brush. Then I tie it up with a wrap scarf.

I feel you on the headache. I get those with some of my sleep bonnets.

But sleeping on silk/satin pillowcases are good, though.

I do 2 nights a week, the rest of the week, I wear a bonnet.

 

[Allandra]

I wear a scarf to bed every single night.

 

[luvmesumhair]

I tie my hair up with a satin scarf and sleep on a satin pillow. I am afraid to wrap my hair anymore after I had learned that it could cause thinning.

Although I do sometimes cross wrap. I feel this way is safe.

 

[jtsupanova]

I wear a satin scarf and bonnet at the same time( the scaf dosn't cover all of my hair but keeps it in place the bonnet covers the rest). I actually can not go to sleep if my hair isn't tied. Mama trained me well!

 

[Jetblackhair]

I wear a scarf every night.

 

[MsAngie]

I actually feel guilty when I don't wear my bonnet at night! So yeah, I wear it every night; otherwise, my hair would be one huge tangle.

 

[InnerSoul]

I feel that my hair would dry out more if it was uncovered at night with me rubbing my head all over the pillow while sleeping. I tie my hair with a scarf mainly for my edges to stay tame and then I cover with a satin bonnet to help keep the scarf in place.

 

[mscocoface]

Cover it up or lose it is my motto.

I went years without covering it up and now have been covering it up for the past 3 years.

Can we say HUGE Positive Difference!!!!!

I am glad to see or read that others feel guilty when they don't cover their heads at night. I was beginning to think I was waaaaay toooo serious about this hair journey.

 

[Seven7]

I have to cover my hair at night. I just don't feel right with out it.

 

[HoneyA]

I always sleep in a satin cap. Sometimes I tie a satin scarf on first and then put on the cap.

 

[northernbelle]

Neither. I roller set my hair dry. Been doing it for years.

 

[charmtreese]

I sleep with a satin bonnet and or scarf every night. I can't remember a time when I did not "tie my head up" (as my momma would say)!

 

[curlycraze]

After a rollerset...EVERY night.

 

[dillard]

i always sleep with a satin scarf.

after wash day i rollerset and sleep with the rollers, for the next 2 or 3 days I sleep with my hair in two bantu knots (saw that in reniece's fotki ). It is so much better than wrapping and pincurls! it is fast and each layer in my hair comes out bumped under so I don't have to use heat in the morning!

 

[BEAUTIFULBLACKHAIR]

I hardly ever wrap my hair anymore,but i ALWAYS sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet.

 

[Candy_C]

wrapping doesnt work for me, but i do a two strand twist and clip it under, then put my bonnet on my head!

 

[Amber_moon]

I just started wearing a silk head scarf to bed about 3-4 weeks ago. My hair has gotten noticeably longer since then, so I think I'll keep doing it.

Not a comment about your comment.... but about your name and location.... I love the never ending story too girl! We should start a never ending story story lover club!

 

[Amber_moon]

I have been wrapping my head at night since I was a little girl. I NEVER go to sleep without putting something on my head. And I have always wrapped my hair, and never gotten any damage what so ever from it.

Im not understanding how these folks are getting damage from wrapping their hair. Are you guys wrapping the hair too tight? Are you wrapping it wet? I dont understand.

I didnt know there was any other way to go to sleep at night. I just naturally assumed every black woman wrapped her hari around her head at night (or put it into rollers or braids/bantu knots/twists) and went to sleep.

I really had no idea that there were people who DIDNT wrap it up in a scarf at night....

That must be freeing.

 

[Growinpainz]

Sometimes I wrap and cover with a silk scarf, other times I just put the scarf one, and when I don't feel like doing either I just go to sleep on a satin pillow case ( I do that anyway with the scarf on).

 

[TLC1020]

I always cover my hair at night with either a satin cap or satin scarf..
While bunning I wear a satin scarf and when I get a touch-up I wear my hair down for a few weeks I cross wrap my hair & wear satin sleep cap..
I don't feel comfortable w/o some form of protection for my hair...

 

[tschizum]

I use to wrap but then I got lazy, lol I've been tying my pair up with a bonnet silk scarf. It's really helped.
