New Hair Invention...for the long haired chics struggling w/ scarves/bonnets
Okay...so i dragged my sick but out of the bed...washed and flatironed for my Uncle's 80th B-day bash.....since I felt like crap, I washed and flatironed on Friday pm..(the event was Sat at 6 pm)....]OK...
So I do the darn thing, and put rollers in my hair (yes the hard plastic ones.....and wrapped my hair with my REAAAAALY long/large scarf.... ..
The scarf always covers all of my hair and the rollers, but if you even notice, it forces the rollers into a certain position, and the bonnets just bunch them up all over your head..(when i roll it, it's just about only 5-6 inches of hair rolled up in in in several different layers)....
WORST darned night of sleep in my life......so I took the scarf off and lay down for a while with the rollers just hanging free...Boy I wished I had a bonnet that would allow you the comfort of the hair/curlers hanging naturally while giving the protection (satin/silk) that you needed.
So I started thinking...hey, I wonder how you make a bonnet. i went into the bath and grabbed a plactic cap, cut the elastic and tool it "apart" to figure out what exactly was the shape...
After that, I went downstair and got a length of silk (yell I buy it by the skein!!!) and cut a large circle with a LONG oval shape tail (looked like a retarded tadpole...) seweed a gutter into it and ran a length of elastic thru it.......
VIOLA>>> I have a silk bonnet that sits on the fornt of the head w/ some room to roam and a LONG "tail" in it!!!!! Like a retarded bonnet.....so now you ladies who have issues w/ putting on scarves and then a bonnet to cover the rest of the hair.....there ya go

You will help a LOT of ladies. I has this problem just a couple of weeks ago. Your idea is brilliant.
