For girls BSL and longer - how do you wear your hair at night?

[*KP*]

I ask because I am shoulder length and wrap my hair at night quite easily. When I was APL I found it more difficult but got by. I imagine wrapping is very difficult if not impossible with BSL hair or longer (I tried with my weave and got nowhere!).

So if you have BSL or longer hair, how do you wear your hair at night?

Thanks,
K

I usually just pull my hair up loosely with a bear claw clip. Then I wear a satin scarf or a half wrap to protect my edges. I used to wrap my hair, but I feel like wraping breaks off my edges.

How do you do a half wrap? I've never heard of that

I am almost BSL a few inches away and I just wrap it up mostly. Sometimes I twist it up and put a scarf on.

I'm BSL and I usually pincurl my hair at night. I do wrap my hair every once in a while.

I usually wear my hair in a ponytail, twist it and pin it up. Well, starting tonight, I'll be going back to my 2 braids. I think that doing the ponytail thing is causing me to shed hair in that area (that's the only area that seems to be shedding a lot lately). I finish off with a scarf.

When I plan to wear my hair down, I either wrap or cross-wrap (which is a bit easier than wrapping).

Do you ever wear your hair loose with the wave pattern established by the overnight braids? or twists? I've done this but lack the imagination to vary the styles.

I pin curl my hair, then cover it with a silk or satin scarf if I want to maintain a rollerset or I braid/plait my hair in four braids if I want a braidout, covering it also with a silk or satin scarf.

I am shoulder length also, but after watching Macherieamour's wrap tutorial, I thought my hair would get easier to wrap as it gets longer.

I'm sorry. I call the net hair protector thingy a "half wrap" I was not meaning half wrap as a wrapping technique. Sorry. Here is a picture:

I just pull my hair up and put this around my edges. I'm a wild sleeper so I have to keep my hair in place with this.

I pin curl at night, then put on my satin cap.

Depends on how I'm wearing. If in a protective style like one large cornrown or braid, then I leave that alone all week and just tie down with scraf at night. If I'm bunning, I undo the pins and tie down with hair in bun but without pins. If I'm wearing loose, then one super large pin curl and tie down with scarf.

i usually just twist my hair up and wear a satin bonnet to protect my hairstyle.

 

[curlcomplexity]

I moisturize, seal w/oil, and then twist it into a loose bun secured w/ a single bobby pin. Then I tie on a satin scarf.

 

[blue_flower]

I put my hair in 3-4 plaits and put perm rods on the ends.

Has anybody got the link to macherieamour's wrapping tutorial? I did a search but could only find people talking about how great it was!

If I'm wearing a curly style, I moisturize, seal w/oil and cover with a satin bonnet. Otherwise, I moisturize, seal w/oil, twist into a loose bun, tie my edges down with a scarf, and cover the back with a satin bonnet.

Thanks for the link, I can't see the video now because I'm at work but can't wait to try it out.

If I'm wearing it blow-dried and flat-ironed straight, I cross wrap it.
If it's roller set and I want it straight I just regular wrap it.
If I want big loose waves, I sleep with it in a bun.

 

[SpyCats]

In a loose bun secured with an ouchless "rubber"band and protected with a silk scarf.

I'm APL and I crosswrap as well, I find it much easier to do when hair is longer...

I read something about cross wrapping on the forum but I can't find that thread now. Is that where you part the hair down the centre and take the left side and clip it to the front right and the opposite with the other side?

How does the hair turn out in the morning?
