I wet wrapped my hair yesterday after i washed it, and it came out GREAT! I used keracare foam wrap, and elasta qp design foam then i airdryed it. When i woke up this morning my hair was dry straight and full of body. I had to put 3 rollers in the crown so the top of my head wouldn't look to big and puffy..I think i am going to wet wrap more often. Did anyone who wet-wrapped their hair regularly experience any damage?
Does anyone wet wrap their hair?

Yes for the past few years, this was my prefferred hair style whenever I would go to get a touch up. My reason - because I hated how my kept the roller sections/parts after a touch up. Secondly, my ex-hair dresser would always trim my hair better if she knew I wanted a wrap after a touch up. My ex hair dresser does this well and my hair always came out super straight with alot of body. My wrape would last forever. I have never really tried it wet myself. I have given myself a doobie. I must try this the next time I get a touch up. BTW your hair looks great! What year was the Sept 04_05 pics. taken?

Hey Foxy!
I've only done this once, but I sat under the dryer...It came out really smooth, sleek and straight..That was a few years ago...
I used a leave-in conditioner to wrap it and then sprayed it with a sheen spray (a girl at school told me to do this..Then I used a hair net over it and sat under the dryer..But this may be a good way to airdry (especially this summer)...
Thanks for bringing this up!

I wish I could. My wraps are never tight enough and they don't come out smooth. By the way, does anyone have a prblem with the area at the very top of the head. i wind up with extra hair that will not wrap around my head. I guess I'm not doing it right.
Also, my hair takes longer than normal to dry; I'd be air drying for days. But I wish...

That's a common problem. One way of getting around it is to put that section of hair in a roller. I usually do it before I start to wrap, but I guess you can do it after, if you prefer. I've never wrapped my hair wet, though; I usually do doobies.

I have never gotten it this smooth before so I think the trick is to use ALOT of wrapsetfoam, my hair stayed slick and in the wrap... I LOVE the keracare foam wrap set lotion! It says, it produces full incredible lustrous wrap set, provids a fabulous hoold, while leavin ghair soft silky and with great shine. Moisutre rich setting and conditioning agents penetrate cuticles, selal and protects each strand, deep conditons and moisturizes during dryer setting, contains natural lubricants that provide protection forom the heat of dryers and thermal styling appliances, provides superior manageability, with remarkable bounce and body Detangles for easy wet combing and effortless combingn, Does not flake, etc..It has water, Glycerin, Proplyene Glycol as the first three ingredients..
Thanks for the compliment Julia
I started the haircare thing December 2001 in the Black Hair care and body yahoo club. So any pics I have taken were from 2002-2003. The problem is I am not sure if i taken that pic in september, or if i posted in september. Either way, the pic was taken last year.

Melodee,
I used three rollers in the crown of my hair and then wrap the rest. If not my hair would have been a puffy thick mess at the top and i wouldn't have been able to wrap it right. I think the key to the tightness in my wrap was ALOT of wrapsetfoam..It has no alcohol or any bad ingredients..just conditioning agents.

I would love to this if I knew how to, I am so getting tired of rollersets. Foxybronx- how did you hold the wrap? Did you use bobby pins to secure it while wet. When I tried this I could never get it to go around my hair smoothly. I have a lot of hair.

Thanks elliot i will check it out.
kisz4tj..I started as soon as i came home from school, so by the next morning my hair was drying..it also helped since it was kinda hot yesterday.
Kamilla16, that is what i thought too, i have thick hair too (it might not be as thick as yours) but i gave it plenty of time to dry..If that doesn't work you can always sit under a hooded dryer or bonnet dryer to cut your drying time in half.

hi mirrormirror,
Nope i didn't use pins..i did you the roller clips to hold my hair while i was wrapping but i took them out because i didn't want ANY dents in my hair. I think the key to the tightness was the Wrapsetfoam, and maybe the small tooth comb..i didn't actually comb my hair with it..i just smoothed the hair after it was already wrapped.

Hi. I wet wrap and airdry. Then wrap every other night,dry, with my leave in spray and dry overnight. My hair gets remoisturized each time I do this and it keeps my hair beautifully. I think this is an excellent way to grow out the hair between shampoos and rinsing. Bonjour.

FoxyBronx,
Thanks for the encouragement. I've tried several times and I start off good, but I can never get my hair really flat. Once it dries, I have the big hair thing going. The stylist that I used to go to had waist length hair and she could wrap my hair in seconds.
I probably need to make smaller sections. I'm still trying to learn how to rollerset also. I'll give it a shot tonight. No work or school tomorrow.
BTW, your hair is slammin'.

My hair is natural now, but when I had relaxed hair, I did this all the time. I didn't even own a hair dryer. I had mid back hair and it was pretty thick. It usually took eight hours to dry. I would do it the day before. My hair would be very wet, and i would use motions foaming wrap lotion. I wrapped with a wide tooth comb, and after that was done, I would smooth with a smaller tooth comb. Then i would rub moisturizer on it, put on a scarf, and that was it. My hair would come out perfect every time.
