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

[Bublin]

My Mum has mid back length natural hair. Her cousin has relaxed hair that is in really bad condition and the edges are all eaten away.

In front of my Dad she said to my Mum, 'Why do always have to tie up your head like an old woman?' She said it in an insulting way.

My Dad jumped in and said, 'Well maybe if you did, you'd have nice hair too'.

I LOVE MY MUMMY AND DADDY

No and Hell No! I've been married for nearly 31 years and we set some "expectations" early in the marriage.

My requirement for him was no sitting around the house in underware and a "wife beater"...he can be comfortable in an external shirt and exercise pants.

His requirement - none of this wearing a house coat all day long.

I don't want either one of us to take the other for granted...so he can groom himself for me just as he presents himself to others. I do the same and actually dress...usually in exercise wear within ten minutes of getting out of bed...even on weekend.... groom hair and apply earring, a complimentary lipstick, and mascara!

The scarf thing...imagine if your hubby wore a " do rag" all day or to bed...how attractive is that. I think it says...other people are important but your significant other isn't.

Now your dad's a man that understands! My DH definitely understands, in fact he scolds me if I try to go to bed w/out my scarf on and makes me feel real lazy. He tells that my hair's going to fall out and look nasty if I don't tie my scarf to bed!

The compromise is though, that I don't tie my scarf until I've put my DD to bed, so it's out and down during the day and evening. I love that he supports me.

My DH has no issues with the nightwear. I don't wear the bonnet or scarf during the day. I have a satin pillow case but looking into a silk pillow.
My DH is white and from the start of our relationship knew the score. He will help me find my "Frank Spencer" hat as he calls it.

 

[Hair Iam]

I wear a bonnet every night , I also tie a satin scarf over my pillow..and yes if I go away I take my satin scarf with me and tie it over the pillow where I am. I do not wear anything on my head during the day, unless I'm cleaning the house. My husband supports all my hair care quirks He's not so much for length as he is about having my hair "hooked up" he's American so he actually uses those words.

 

[CandacyEliz]

I wear a bonnet/scarf to bed every night. My SO tries to joke me w/ his "bag" comments. But I notice that those jokes are few and far in between now that I'm approaching healthy shoulder length

 

[Aggie]

I always wear my satin cap to bed and I sometimes wear it around the house during the day while I'm off from work as long as I'm not going anywhere because it's hot in the Bahamas and I need to keep my hair off my neck.

 

[neks4u2c]

I tie scarf religiously every night-. In fact I even re-tie it when it falls off (I toss and turn a lot!!!). It really helps to keep my hair tidy and makes it easier to manage in the morning.

 

[albane]

I did not join the group as for the need to wear a scarf at night. I am not sure what would be his thought if I had to, as he loves so much playing with my hair.
However he is very aware of what are some other requirements as I regularly rollerset at home on Saturdays. With my hair at waist, rollersetting is not a short duty as I have to put a lot of rollers and go through a long dring time. For sure the look is even worst than wearing a scarf ! However my husband never complained about, on the contrary he helps me putting the rollers and helps me sometimes to send the time under te dryer. When we travel, he always make provision for me to stop at the nearest salon.
But this is not everyday, only once a week !

 

[Mook's hair]

Yup, I wear a scarf all the time. To bed & also around the house.

But my husband is OK with it.

If he had an issue, I'd probably wear it less often but I'd still wear it to bed though I mean...I'm sleep. Who needs sex appeal while sleeping?

I wear it to bed and around the house. Even when there's company if I dont feel like taking it down.

If there was an SO, hed just have to deal with me putting a scarf on before I sleep, no big deal. Who am I trying to impress while I'm sleep anyway? If I cant be comfortable then, when can I be comfortable?

Sometimes I wear a scarf to school if its a bad hair day or my hair is wet or if there is a chance of rain. Not even a colorful one, just a black scarf. If people give me looks... I stare right back at them, and make eye contact too.

 

[Loves Harmony]

I wear my scarf to bed and sometimes around the house if were laying up. My husband doesnt mind. He will tell me to go and tie my hair down. So i guess it depends on the person.

Awwww.. thats so cute

 

[sareca]

I can't sleep with my hairs loose.

 

[Highly Favored8]

I wear them all the time now. Since I keep my hair in protective styles. Plus I love the different colors and styles I can do.

 

[Blaque*Angel]

Sure Do...

 

[*Muffin*]

I couldn't figure out an option that applies to me. I have a satin pillow case, but sometimes I will still wear my scarf to bed and around the house. The conditions are 1) I have a lot of NG and I'm trying to make it lie flat 2) It's very cold out and I want to wear a knitted cap to keep my head warm. Then I'll wear a scarf under the knitted hat and walk around the house like that (which I've been doing because it's so cold). 3) I'm trying to preserve a hair style.

 

[almond eyes]

I have been wearing scarves on my head since forever. And it really depends on the way one ties their scarf. Mine never looks like Aunty Jemima because I don't tie my hair up like a baby diaper.

Best,

[Leeda.the.Paladin]

I've always worn scarves or stocking caps, even as a child. It's just what we did.

I do have some prettier options now such as SatinSaks and, more recently, stuff from coveryourhair.com.

You don't have to look totally frumpy with your hair covered.

 

[4evershika]

I'm wearing my bonnet as I type! (AND I've been running errands today... I woke up, took it off, came home, and put it back on along with my baggy)

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

I wear mine under my wigs..I like my bonnet..I feel like an old soul anyway..so it suits me..

 

[Jewell]

Well, I don't have an SO at this time, (so I didn't vote, there wasn't an option) so it doesnt matter...I live alone w/my daughter so I just wear my scarf/bonnet all day at home if I please. One of my "friends" wouldn't mind it, past SO's and ex-fiance' actually liked the look, in some kinky type of way, I think. lol

 

[Bigghair]

I wear my scarf whenever I lay down to protect my hair.

 

[mzsophisticated26]

I wear scarfs, bonnets, wrap strips everytime I got to bed and when I am around the house if I am not going anywhere. My SO does not care if I go to bed with them on I have always wrapped my hair up since we been together so its normal for him, sometimes he reminds me to put on my bonnet because he knows I am into haircare now. Also wears his do-rags and stocking cap.

 

[tri3nity]

If I'm thinking about it, I'll wear a scarf/bonnet around the house, especially when I'm alone. I definitely wear one to bed, and my SO doesn't mind. He knows what I am trying to accomplish as far as my hair is concerned, and he's very supportive of that, so it really doesn't bother him. All he asks is that I wear my hair down more often instead of wearing a bun or ponytail.

This is the same with mine. He just wants me to wear my hair down when were out together. He doesn't care what I do when were at home. He even makes sure that when we travel, I have my satin pillow case. That's my boo!

 

[Raine054]

I also wear my scarf when I sleep or whenever my hair is rubbing against something. I think it's saved my edges. My love hasn't commented on it and I provide him with opportunities to touch my hair so I guess all is well! It has also saved me from having to use gel a lot. When I spray some leave in on my edges during 4 month stretches,then tie it down with a scarf for 15 minutes, it comes out completely smooth and wavy!

 

[CaliDiamond]

I guess I am just a mess..I wear my head covered most of the time. My so doesn't mind. As long as I wear it loose every once and a while its all good.

 

[LaToya28]

I wear mine to bed and most of the time around the house too...and sometimes when I go out Hubby doesn't mind too much.
