I loosely pin it up or bun it and sleep in a satin cap. If I sleep with it out it gets too tangled by the morning or my husband rolls over on it at night.
 
When my hair is straight, I wrap with a silk scarf. I can't bare to think about not covering my hair at night :shocked:. It'll be a big mess in the morning if I don't :yep:.

I either wear a du-rag or satin bonnet depending on what my hair is doing. On the nights where I slip up and fall asleep first (rarely), my satin pillow case kicks in and does the job for me.:grin:
 
I put a bonnet over my hair and then a scarf around it but sometimes I forget the scarf. I notice that when I forget the bonnet the back of the scarf slides up and my hair is exposed and it gets damaged so I must have the bonnet if nothing else. Scarf wont' do it alone.

I prefer the way my hair looks when I don't tie or wrap it or wear a sleep cap.
I have been considering sleeping w/o it.

For those of you that don't, do you have any problems with breakage?

What else do you do, i.e. satin pillowcase, etc.?

Hey HoneyDew!
I hear what you are saying!

I sleep on a silk pillowcase (keep one at my boyfriend's house and I take them when I travel) and I actually like the type of "set" that it gives me when I am wearing a protective style. I haven't noticed any problems so far.... (I am not a "wild" sleeper either).

Ok, well maybe the satin bonnet is a decent idea for me.

Last night I wore it only w/o any scarf or anything.

When I took it off this morning, I finger combed it back into fullness and it is okay - not flat.

1 or 2 nights a week, I spend the night at my BF's house. He HATES the scarf and bonnet look, so maybe I can do like some of you guys have done and get a satin pillowcase for his house. 1 or 2 nights with loose hair should be okay - I hope. :ohwell:

This is what I do. My boyfriend has never seen me with a sleep cap on yet (been dating for only 9 months) I stay over his house several nights a week and I'll use my silk pillowcase. Don't want to spoil my "sexy!"

When I am at my home and I want to smooth my hair, I sleep in a satin bonnet or scarf along with sleeping on a silk pillowcase.
 
Before I started flatironing my hair once a week, I just slept on a satin pillowcase. Now I pincurl my hair and wrap it up.

I used to pincurl my hair and wrap it up too! But now, I just smooth it into a moisturized bun and kinda tuck the ends just so..anyways I wake up with pretty waves/curls that kinda look like loose pincurls. I love this look.

It's really helped me stop putting heat on my hair more than once a week.

I wear a big silk scarf (triangular) loosely tied at the back. I also sleep on a satin pillowcase.

Girl, now after 4 years I just put the scarf on. :lachen: He is used to it by now! When he first saw me with it on, he said " that looks pretty cool. how come to don't wear it out like that?"

Now that he's said that, I have my hair protected all the time. Not sleeping with it is a treat for him!

A long time ago, when my husband first saw me sleeping with nothing on my head, he would say " I thought y'all were supposed to put something on. A stocking cap or something" Apparently his sister and mom had already trained him on what night time REALLY looks like.:lachen:

It feels good to be comfortable in your own space.
 
When I'm being lazy, I wear a silk cap.

When I'm not being lazy, I roller set my hair at night on the satin covered foam rollers. I am working on being less lazy.
 
I try not to sleep without the "power" scarf. It's my lil secret weapon to slick that hair down in no time :lachen:But when laziness sits in (or the cat hides it :ohwell:) sometimes I will leave it off but I try to keep those times to few and far in between.
 
Lately since I've been exclusively wearing wash-n-goes and jump in the shower first thing in the morning.... no.

I know.... bad, bad, bad. Sleeping on cotton pillowcases with uncovered head is probably slowly sucking moisture from my hair. I'm trying to break the habit.
 
I sleep with something on my head 90% of the time. Sometimes it comes off or I think I take it off while I'm sleeping, so now I tie a satin or silk scarf overtop of my pillowcase so my hair won't be on the cotton if the scarf comes off my head. this way I don't have to buy expensive pillow cases. :grin:
 
I do tie my hair down or do satin bonnet, which I do more often, but I rarely wrap it. I don't wrap it because when I do (I wrap going clockwise), the left side of my front hairline is sore when I unwrap it, I don't know why though, so I don't do it often. Every now and then, I don't feel like tying it down, so I lay one of my larger scarves over my pillow and tuck the ends under it and go to sleep that way so my hair is not rubbing on my pillowcase. Thank goodness I'm not a wild sleeper :sleep8:

Do them both, first tie with satin scarf, then place my night cap over, just in case I loose one during the night
 
I cover my hair and sleep on satin pillowcases/sheets. Always have, always will if I can help it!

I am TRYING to get my nieces to understand that they need to tie up their hair at night. Their hair is long but it is always a frizzy mess!

I try to tell them to moisturize and at least put their hair into a braid or a bun and then GO TO SLEEP with the bonnet on -even if it comes off at night, at least it stayed on for most of the twisting and turning!

Look at these girls...

^^^ Now just imagine if they had some moisture and protected their ends :wallbash:
 
I do, or I won't be able to do anything with it in the morning. It will be dry and matted. I put it up in 6 buns, wrap with a satin scarf, then put a stocking cap on over it so it won't slip off.
 
I use a net and a silk scarf with my hair pincurled, I definately feel that my silk scarf has helped me to retain length...
