My hair looks better WITHOUT a scarf- Anyone else?

[♦K.O♦]

This goes against common wisdom, but when I put on a scarf to lay my edges down, it's like it steals all of the product and waves grin from my hair. My hair is much slicker, wavier, and controlled when I just load on the product and go about my business.

Anyone else?

like, putting on a scarf at night?

I wish, my hair is very frizzy, the scarf and gel are the only things that keep it sleek.

No. Sorry for not being specific. I meant putting on a scarf for slicking purposes when wearing your hair pulled back. Like you put on gel or another hair product, and you put the scarf on for a 10 mins to an hour to make the hair "lay down."

ohhh...

i've never done the 10 minute bit. i only use a silk scarf when i've washed my hair and air dry it overnight... that makes my roots super smooth, soft and shiny.

or, when i wrap after a rollerset and leave it on overnight.

putting too much product on my hair can make it stringy looking so i resist loading up.

I have never used a scarf to make my hair lie down when I create a pulled back puff. Never had any desire to have helmet flat looking hair. I love the fluffy look that resembles a halo.

The only time I use a scarf to make hair lie down is if I'm wearing cornrows and I leave them in too long that they start to look messy. A scarf at night after brushing--especially one over a baggy (or simply using Saran wrap as the scarf)--leads to neat looking cornrows the next morning.

Otherwise I love my pulled back puff with all its fluff.

I don't wear a scarf to lay edges down. in fact, i like my edges like i have in my siggy.

I agree, you have gorgeous hair!! >.<

Me? It depends on the scarf I put on my head. If it's not silk and tied securely then scarves are a waste of time. I wear a lot of protective styles - I don't sleep in one position so bed hair is not cute on me. It cuts down my time in the morning to style too.

Bonnets and scarfs are not my hair's friend. Now satin pillowcases

agreed. i love my satin pillow cases.

 

[Queen_Earth]

my hair doesnt lay down with or without a scarf and it leaves a nasty line/dent in my hair so I forgo scarves

Where do you ladies get these satin pillowcases from??

Where do you ladies get these satin pillowcases from??

i just buy mine from bed bath and beyond...

they sell full satin sheet sets online but if you go to the actual store, they sell the pillow cases in sets of 2 usually.

i've never used the scarf method to lay down my hair. i'm fine with the little frizzies. they aren't that bad. ♥

I think this depends on the texture and length of your hair. In my case I am not a TWA girl and my hair is now just long enough to wear in a protective bun. I think my hair type is 4 and I must wear a scarf for my hair to lay down and wave up. However if it was long like Happily Me or if my texture was like Vain Jane's I wouldn't require a scarf. What's your hair type and length?

im relaxed bone straight. when my new growth comes in, i use the scarf to help hair lay flat & smooth like the majority of my hair or it would look crazy..2 completely different textures.
