Who Wears a Scarf or Bonnet Around the Home and/or to Bed?

[Whimsy]

I wear a scarf and bonnet to bed. during the day at home i have my hair in a low loose pony or a low loose braid. My guy doesn't care. sometimes he'll remind me 'don't forget your hair thingys' lol

 

[Brownie518]

I wear my all the time in the house. I don't care who is around. I have a scarf on now and SO and I are sitting here watching Pirates of the Caribbean. Chillin'. He doesn't care if I wear it. He never mentions it.

I don't have a SO but I wear my scarf all the time. Even in front of the UPS guy! If you knock on my door, I ain't taking off my scarf for you! It is what it is.

I wear a scarf around the house and to bed.

I don't have a SO though. So no one to look cute for.

 

[girlyprincess23]

I do I do. I wear one practically all the time. it's usually prompted by me laying my head on something. Even though I have braids in right now I stll wear my satin bonnet becasue I know some of the edges of my hair are sticking out and rubbing against my pillow, couch or whatever. But the SO doesn't say nothing he doesnt care. Im usually wearing braids or weaves or something anyway so my hair isn't out anyway but he does hate it when i put the braids back in. He thinks SL is long!!

I braid my hair every night and then put it up and wrap it with scarf or tuck it in a bonnet before bed. I can't wear it down because 1. I would look like a hot mess in the morning and 2. DH or I would roll over on it and wake me up.

Since I'm a SAHM I wear my hair wrapped most of the day until DH, gets home, look cute for a few hours and then wrap that sucker back up when it's time for bed. I don't wear my hair up at home out of being over protective- it's just for the simple fact that I have a one year old who likes to put her sticky, drooly fingers in my hair and I don't want to be bothered with washing my hair and waiting for it to dry more than I already do.

I heard that! I snatch mine off when somebody knocks on the door b/c my bonnet IS NOT cute. Now if I had a cute hair wrap, I would never take that sucka off.

 

[LongHairDreams]

I only take my scarf off when I go outside or wash my hair.

I wear mine to bed every night faithfully. I moisturize and seal, then put on my satin scarf and put my satin cap over the rest of my hair. Sometimes I'll wear the scarf around the house as well. I started doing this recently.

 

[MariposaSexyGirl]

I wear my bonnet to bed and around the house sometimes if he isn't home. I wear it down for him more since he complained about it always being in a bun. He says he likes looking at it. And he also likes to put his face in it. And since he usually falls to sleep before me I usually put my bonnet on then.

I enjoy wearing my scarf around the house (especially during the cold months).

 

[kellie7777]

when i was single i had a satin pillow case only and i scarfed.

when i got me a SO i would scarf but then i found i had to tie it too tight to make it stay on at night... rough zzzzs..

Anyways i got me a bonnet and the first night i wore it, he said, 'was-up?' so i said 'like what?' and then he said 'ok'.. and that was it...

but i only wear it in bed. otherwise it is off and letting my head air out..lol

 

[SpiritJunkie]

I have a satin pillow that i keep around for me. my baby knows..you use the cotton and I sleep on the satin so he doesn't have to see me with tie-head all the time. but there are days I need to wear it.

I try to keep it sexy as much as possible!!! but i also need to take care of my hair. he's getting it s-l-o-w-l-y but surely!!!

 

[Isis]

I'm wearing my satin scarf now. Wearing it around the house keeps my hair moisturized. I wear it to my destinations when driving (especially when there is humidity), taking it off before or as I'm entering the buildings. I was wearing silk scarves when out and about but I lost too many good ones that way.

I sleep on a silk pillowcase (in case the scarf falls off). I also read that silk is better to sleep on for the face--it keeps the face nice and smooth.

 

[Dayjoy]

I use a satin pillow case and only use a scarf or bonnet when I am in pin curls or a wrap. It has nothing to do with DH though, it's all about my comfort. Even though he doesn't care it does feel a little funny to me at intimate times to be wearing a "hair protector." I ain't taking it off though ! LOL! I actually think he likes the head wraps though because that is when my hair is prettiest during the day and I think he visualizes that.

 

[Desert Skye]

I wear my every night before sleep and my bf doesn't care. A few times I forgot to wear my bonnet, he asked what happend to my "hat" and if I needed help finding it.

The women in his family have long hair and do this as well, so its nothing new or weird to him.

 

[Spongie Bloom]

ive been in braids for a long minute but i still go to bed with my pink satin scarf i dnt have satin pillow cases but i put my satin dressing gown and cover my pillow and sleep now that the braids are off i still sleep with my scarf if its too cold i even wear it round the house but im at ym parents house for xmas...maybe that will change when i get back to university..not

 

[Gisselle]

I wear my scarf every night and throught out the day when I'm home.

 

[silverlotus]

I am single & wear mine to bed but not around the house (b/c I like my hair & scalp to breathe).

I thought all black men knew the deal about scarves, but I guess not. My last ex would remind me if it looked like I was going to sleep without it. In fact, anytime I had a complaint about my hair, he would ask if I wrapped it the night before. He really thought wrapping was the solution to all hair problems .

 

[Gryphyn]

I wear mine to bed every night, but I don't wear it around the house. The only time I'm wearing it outside of my room is when I tie it on with gel to keep my frizz down on my way to work.

 

[Andreainnis]

I STAY in my scarf around the house and definitely to bed. SO thinks it is hilarious and loves to tease me w/jokes or snatching it off and running! But he appreciates and respects my obsession because my hair STAYS fly when we are out and about and his friends always ask who does my hair so they can tell their girlfriends! Gotta love that I used to feel like I was unattractive to him with my head wrapped all the time but he said its the same face he loves w/Bin Ladden's wrap around the hair Then it was all jokes from there on out! I guess it really depends on the guy.

 

[Sunshine0801]

I only wear a scarf to bed. SO doesn't mind or complain. I love having my hands in my hair too much to wear a scarf around the house.

 

[BelindaLuz]

I grew up wearing my hair tied up to go to sleep. This is something that I have done my whole life.
My husband (who is European American and only dated "sistas") is happy with however I wear my hair as long as I am happy with how I am wearing my hair. Everyone he has been with has tied their hair.

As for sex, we do not plan sex, it happenen anytime so I might have my hair tired I might not. I do not like hair pulling and I do not relax my hair so he does not put his hands (I do not let him put his hands) in my hair unless he is helping my style me hair.

The only time I wear my hair tied while in the house is if I woke us knowing that we were not going anywere for the day and it's not "hair day". Otherwise I do not wear my hair tied while at the house and no I do not feel like aunt Jamima when I do.

Only to bed, However I must warn all scarf wearers to be ever so careful as to where you are tying the knot and to ensure that none of your hair has gotten caught up in there. I have not done any true length checks since July. I have noticed with my last shampoo that my hair appeared to be much thinner on one side in the back...low and behold the hair where my nape is I found many inches shorter on one side...aweful breakage. I do not want to cut up to the breakage and it is only noticed if I wear my hair completely straight. I am so close to WL but, I may start trimming with each relaxer to even this out. I will eventully take pix and post them, damage and all.
So please use care when tying your hair up.

I stay in my scarf when I am in the house. Hubby is used to it so he doesnt mind anymore. The second I get home from work, I change my clothes, put on my slippers on my scarf. Before I go to bed, I wrap my hair and put on my other scarf.

 

[tt8]

If I am laying down either to go to bed or to snuggle and watch tv with my SO, I have my scarf on. I have different colors to match my lounge ware cause vanity never ceases.

 

[sylver2]

ever since i was a little girl i always wore scarves. My scarf is always on my head. thru drunkeness, lazyness & men..lol

 

[KiniKakes]

I've worn a scarf to bed every single night (without fail) since I was a little girl. Probably like age 3-4, when my mother would braid our hair.... so its instilled in me, and i feel naked and awkward without my scarf.

Ive never had a Sig. O complain or even comment about it, except two years ago when I briefly dated a bi-racial guy. He complained about my sleeping in a scarf, and frequently asked if i would keep it on if/when we ever "did the do" (which we never ended up getting around to, because it ended first). That was such a turn-off to me, that he was so fixated with my scarf. He alleged that he had dated many black women who went to sleep without scarves, and who also made love without scarves. The latter i could believe, but not the former.

In terms of wearing it around the house.......... at my own apartment, i keep my scarf/bonnet on all the time, unless i go out. At my BF's house on the weekends, i only sleep with it and wear it in the evenings before bed. But during the day i dont wear it (unless taking a nap). I know he enjoys seeing my hair out, so i try to compromise and give him that.

 

[keluric]

He sleeps with his wave cap, I sleep in my scarf. I sleep on a satin pillow and sheets but he thinks the satin sheets are too much for the everyday so I use cotton sheets from time to time. I always use the satin pillowcases, though.

 

[blsn27]

I have a scarf that I wear around the house, bf claims its too colourful, and a bonnet that I wear to bed, my other half teases me and says I look like a baker in it, but I'm not gonna give up wearing it because he teases me.
