Caramela said:If your hair is long enough, put it in a loose high ponytail with an ouchless, and put some rollers in the ponytail. Cover with a satin bonnet. In the morning, let it all down.
Lady_Lioness said:This is exactly what I usually do...but instead of a high ponytail...mines is a low one.
Caramela said:I just find it easier to sleep if I put the pony up high. If it's on top of your head you can lay on your back, or either side of your head without the discomfort of the rollers.
simplycee said:I learned a alternate to wrapping from a member here. Its called the mowhawk set. You take 3 or 4 rollers (jumbo if your hair is long), make horizontal parts and roll all the hair in each section on one roller. When finished it should look like a mohawk. Then you cover with a scarf. When you take the rollers down you can finger comb into place. This set leaves you with more body than a wrap and just enough bend to the ends to look nice. I think DatJerseyDyme (sp) is the creator of this set. Hopefully she will join in with a few tips.

I saw your folder and my jaw just dropped! You have the most gorgeous hair ever!!!!! Can I please ask what you moisterize that mane with? Also, do you always do the mohawk for night time?

Mizani_Mrs said:I do a "double-wrap" which is less stressful on your hair and doesn't make your hair do the 'gangsta 'lean'. I think Sylver does it also and she said she describes it in her journal. Basically you comb your hair to the back and you part down the center. then you smooth both sections around your head and they cross in the back. put scarf on. In the morning, just run your comb thru the back part 3 times and you are ready to go.... ends have a bump to them. U can search for the topic if you are interested....
