whats up with my wrap?

[me-T]

when i look at u-tube vids of someone takin down their wrap,the hair starts fallin before she even pics up a comb, and they can easily break the wrap. but my hair stays stuck in position and doesnt want to break out of it.

how i wrap(if this helps)
part it in 4 sections, oiling each one, and wrap it section at a time with a comb, smoothin it down with a boar bristle . i cover it with saran wrap as a "baggie method" then put the wrap cap over it, take the pins out so i dont have dents.

Mine stays in wrapped position as well.

I notice when my wraps don't fall easily it's most likely too much product.
It might also be the saran wrap that's doing it for you also.

i doubt it's the plastic, i just starteddoin that. it never falls after a wrap. before i started usin the plastic my hair would be a lil dry.

I agree, maybe try to wrap without the saran wrap and see how it turns out. keep us updated

My wet wraps look so crappy and it takes too long to dry. I think I have to roller set and then wrap because my wet wraps alone look terrible.

My hair stays wrapped when I take off my satin scarf too, but its still beautiful when I comb it down

 

[me-T]

mine sucks when i take it down too! some parts have these bends and such. i sleep bad so maybe i need to smooth it down extra and maybe get one of those durag cap things or cut a stockin?

 

[simplydara]

it might be the oil. too much products makes the hair weighed down...

Too much product maybe. My wraps start to look bad and won't fall or I can't even wrap it the more weeks I go without a relaxer. My naps just take over and u can't wrap naps.

I have fine/thin hair, and I cannot have hardly any product on my hair when I wrap. Literally sticking my finger into moisturizer and then wiping half off before applying to the hair. Also I'm finding lately that when I comb the hair into the wrap, I have to comb it into a funnel shape going up (does that make sense?) instead of just wrapping around the head [with a wide comb]. When I comb it down in the a.m. it's a lot less wonky.

Also after about 2-3 days of wrapping I stop and just bun, since by then I have more product and natural scalp oils all over the hair and it won't lay right anyway...lol.

I think it's the oil. My hair falls while I"m removing the satin cap. I use leave in cream (oil-free) heat protectant to flat iron and oil-free gloss spray for sheen and .

agreed.

Like Simplydara & MizzBrown said, it's probably the oil. Oil your hair after it is dry, if at all necessary.

Oh, and maybe the hair falls almost immediately b/c they have thicker hair?? Macherieamor and Ateya both have thick/coarse hair...I dunno...maybe that plus no product equals slippy wraps.

 

[poookie]

how many weeks post are you? i know i can't even attempt a wrap after about 5 weeks post... because i may never be able to uncomb it

LOL thank you! And my hair is coarse 4/b. After a month or two you can forget wrapping it. It's pure hell.

i've had wraps that have lasted me days... as in, my only option was to smoosh it up into sort of a bun, because combing was out of the question

also, wet wraps? i wouldn't attempt unless you are relaxed BONE straight. else you might catch Poookie syndrome, and have to rock that wrap like u meant to have it stuck on your head

this maybe true as well.

You can make it 5 weeks! It's a wrap for me after about 3.

A wet wrap on non bone straight hair? Yeah you can forget it. Hair murder. Would be shocked if i had any more hair on my head if i attempted a wet wrap let alone a dry wrap.

Folks at work would ask me, "why won't you wear your hair down straight, you just got your hair done right?" Because I can't!

I haven't used my regular toothed comb in 2 months.

im almost certain its becuase you oil each section. thats too much product.
