Okay people.....
Where I am from for the most part you either get a wet wrap and maintain it by wrapping your hair every night or you get a blowdry/bump(flat iron) and then maintain the same way, using a satin or silk scarf... (or they now have these mesh wrap things, that only wrap the edges, not the top)
Anyway,
I was introduced to this whole "doobie" thing a couple of years ago. Basically, you wrap your hair but instead of using a scarf you use hair pins. Most of you will know what I am talking about because you are on you "hair journey" too.
My question is: Aside from the scarf not being as warm (think of wearing a hat to bed), are there any ACTUAL STYLE BENEFITS to a doobie with pins vs. just wrapping your hair and wearing a scarf?
I have tried both and I can't say that I noticed one maintaining my style any longer. I avoid the Aunt Jemima look but the pins don't seem to inherently keep the style better.
Those of you who use pins, are you doing this to avoid any thing you noticed with non-pin wrapping (flyaways, etc).
One thing I did notice was that after a Domincan blowout my hair was sooooo straight at the root that it was difficult to wrap it, as in, I had to catch it before it fell to get the scarf on.
THOUGHTS????
