Wet Wraps... Don't sleep on them (pics and instructions included)

[LocksOfLuV]

This may seems strange, but I used to get frizzies until I started parting my hair across the top of my head, from ear to ear, and combing the whole front part to one side (like I'm about to make a ponytail on the side), then proceeding with the wrap from there. Just comb/ swoop the back up around the other side and integrate the hair. I used to part in the middle, but I always ended up with a lump and frizzies at my crown area.

Try not to comb back through to redistribute your hair after you've set the wrap. Light comb/ brush over is ok to get little hairs in place. Lightly apply favorite oil around outside of wrap after rubbing in your hands and voila! After you comb it down, it should be nice and sleek and you can change the style to how you want it (part on side, in middle, etc.)

Although I'm not the most descriptive person in the world, I hope that was helpful. Good luck. ;-)

This was a very good description. This is how I wrap my dry hair!

When I was permed, I used to wet wrap my hair all the time. I can not roll my hair to save my life lol.

Ooops!!! Sorry ladies... I went to sleep for a much-needed nap

But thanks RootPunch for answering. I

• part across the crown from left ear to right ear
• comb all hair that is in front of the part down covering my face. Your hair should be like CousinIt surrounding your head afterwards
• I do all of this parting while under running water so as not to cause breakage; make sure to detangle under the running water also
• I then apply my leave-in condish, spray with my concotion, and apply my serum
• I then proceed to wrap my hair starting straight up from my nose and going to the right
• I start with a mid-size comb to get the hair in the wrap.
• I finish with a rat-tail comb to make sure the hair is laying flatly.
• I rub a little serum in my hand and then around the wrap in the direction i wraped it in to keep it smooth.
• once dry, I rub a dab of Chi Silk Infusion of throughout my hair and lightly lubricate my comb with it to ensure no breakage when combing it down

HTH

**I didn't think to take pics until my hair was already wrapped and dry; I'll make sure to take pics of the entire process and products and place them in my fotki next time.

ETA. Rollers at the crown also prevent this if you want a hump wrap instead of a flat wrap.

Wrapping my hair, ESPECIALLY WHILE WET (this hair is no joke) entails toomuch manipulation for me and I can only imagine the breakage. even pre-LHCF I never did this.

But your hair came out so pretty.

But SexyHairFetish, you can always add a few big rollers at the top to get it smooth and add some curls so you don't have a flat look. People back in the hood used to do this and had the best hair. I never could do it though.

That's a good point about the manipulation Locks I forgot to bring up Thanks for reminding me.


This is manipulation, but for me it's lessing manipulation than rollersetting because of combing through each section, pulling the roots taught, etc...

Some tips to curb breakage:

• Detangle under the running water REALLY WELL in the shower.
• Make your part while under the running water.
• Comb the hair where it needs to be under the running water (around the face like Cousin It)
• Determine if you have too much newgrowth; if so it might be too much manipulation to get the hair to lay flat.

I don't get a lot of breakage because of protein/moisture balance, but I actually only saw 1 hair using this method versus the about 10-15 hair I see when rollersetting because of all of the parting and combing out I must do. I WILL NOT give up rollersetting but this is an alternative I can use when I'm not too many weeks post.

Everyone do what works for ya'll and Happy Happy Hair Growing.

I definitely have to try this. Never thought of that. Thanks!

Thank u both for the detailed description I could never get it right as my hair grew longer. I would end up using heat anyway to smooth out the frizzies

I think I'm going to add this to my list of things to try I've never wet wrapped before. Thanks.

Good luck with it. Please make sure to apply the beakage prevention tips. I would just be horrified if someone starting getting breakage because of something I suggested.

Wow, this is great!

I'm in a weave right now but once I take it out and relax I will mos def try this out.

Nice pics and a very detailed description.

Love the hilights in your hair as well.

I used to do these once a week with no adverse effects.

I LOVED the results!

Your hair came out really good girl!
