Emeraldsky,
What a coincidence! That is exactly how I wrap my hair when I wear it wrapped which is once every other month or so. I dont know where I got the idea but I came up with it somehow and it works. When I take my hair down my hair has a nice bump to it and is laying nice and straight. One of my sisters has been wrapping her hair for years and her hair has thinned out terribly. She used to wear her hair medium long (hanging down her back) but now she has to wear it above her shoulders because its so thin and the only way it can have a little body is if its cut short. I dont mention that to her but I know thats why she has cut her hair.

I haven't been wrapping my hair as much, not b/c of the thinning but b/c my hair is always puffy once I comb it out.
As an alternative, I've been parting my hair where I want it parted (middle/side), comb it back like I'm making a ponytail, and then I take the length and twist it 1x/2x. Then, I pin it around the side of my head (left/right) AND then I pin it towards the front. I make sure that my ends are laying flat, once I get to the front. I cover my hair with a satin scarf. Somehow, my hair comes out straight and bouncy. My edges are smooth as well.

I experienced thinning of the ends because I use to brush the ends once the wrap was in place to smooth it out. I also noticed that when the stylist wrapped my hair in the salon, once she began to brush out the wrap she would just hack at my hair with a really hard brush. I know because it hit my face a couple of times, but breaking the wrap mold with all the setting lotion hard as heck was really damaging my ends. You don't notice it right then, but later on you wind up with thinning ends.

Thanks emerald sky for your explanation it did help. Does your hair have the same bend or curvature that it would if it were a full wrap? I'd also like to add after thinking about this thread some more, I remember like 3-5 years ago when I used to rock a doobie on the regular..sometimes after combing and unwrapping my hair, my edges (about 1 inch from my natural hairline) would feel so tender as I would comb it down to the point where it would hurt. I didn't pay much attention to it then but looking back now I know that was a signal. Anyway that's a post for the I remember when thread.

Lala,
That's an excellent technique, I've done similar where I twist 1x/2x and pin to my head except I didn't do two split ponytails only one, but I will try your technique. I've gotten a nice flip depending on which direction I twist my hair.
Kisz4tj,
My hair has the same bend *if* I do a rollerset first, that way it already has shape. If I airdry and then do the wrap alternative it doesn't come out well, but as long as my hair is already shaped whether by a flat iron (unlikely) or by a rollerset then it will last all week. For example I washed and rollerset my hair on Saturday, I've been wrapping my hair the way I described and it still has a nice bend to it. The only thing that's a little difficult is sometimes it can get flat on top, in that case wearing a loose ponytail with a roller attached at the end for one night puts the volume back in then I can return to my regular.
