How do you get that scarf to stay on at night!?!?!?

Re: How the f*&$ do you get that scarf to stay on at night!?!?!?

I use a silk scarf triangled and tied in the front. Then I put a satin bonnet on over it then pull it back off the forehead a little so that the front knot of the scarf is exposed but the hanging loops from the bow are still under the bonnet.

It's a little hiked-up in the back by morning, but it stays on 98% of the time.

exactly what I do

I put four pins on my scarf to pin it down, it hardly ever comes off. I put infront and 2 in the back like a square around my head. Hope this helps

i put an elastic headband on over my silk scarf and it works great!

I find that sleeping with a silk scarf on top of a silk pillowcase works. never slips off

yeah, that works much better than a cotton pillowcase. it still slips off, but not as often for me w/both a silk scarf and pillowcase.

I have thought about just purchasing a satin pillow case from one of those Puerto Rican furniture in Boston. That way when my scarf slipps off I will be covered...Cuz lawd knows I hate the feeling of waking up mid-night tryna fix my scarf

I use a do-rag. I find that the double wrap of string insures that it stays on my head. Scarfs, no matter what (or how many layers I use) ALWAYS come of my head.

I agree. My do-rag has never come off......EVER! My scarf....now that's a different storyerplexed.

This is not a scarf... it's a bonnet but it really works. It never comes off my head and my niece is 8-years-old and sleeps like a wild woman...and this things stays on her head. I got it at Sallys.

I use a regular 24 x 24 scarf and double tie it. I took a few photos last night to demonstrate for another thread.

If I do not make the extra loop around the front, I lose my scarf in the sheets. I have rollers in tonight, hence the bump in the back.

Hope these photos help.

fold scarf - not quite a triangle since I need it larger to fit my rollers

place the folded edge against my forehead

Tied in the rear with ends hanging down

Ends brought around to the front (rollers covered)

Ends tied at front. Had I not been in rollers tonight, I'd have more slack at the front.

I secure it with a couple of bobby pins; keeps it on all night.

I have been having a problem with my scarf staying on all night so this past Friday after I saw Meet the Browns, I stopped by a beauty supply store an bought a satin bonnet. It is called "Stay on Satin" and it actually stays on all night.
