Use a comb to help wrap your hair at night.
Women with coarse, curly, thick or ethnic hair know all to well that sleeping can ruin your 'do. When your hair is straightened--chemically or with a flat iron--sleeping can cause creases, fly-a-ways and little baby curls to form in the hair. To prevent this from happening, wrap hair at night and place in a scarf. In the morning, take your hair down and you're ready to start your day.
Instructions
1. Comb your hair using a wide-toothed comb to remove any knots. Always use a wide-toothed comb for coarse and thick hair--it will reduce hair breakage.
2. Create a center part down the back of your hair. Use the rat tail of the comb to split your hair.
3. Angle your head slightly downward to comb your hair easier. Starting on whichever side your prefer, comb the hair from the part around toward the front of your head. Comb the hair slowly to ensure all of the hair stays smooth as you wrap.
4. Comb your hair up and around your forehead to begin the wrap. Once you've passed your forehead, continue to comb and wrap the hair around your head. The longer the hair, the bigger the wrap. Use the comb to ensure the hair is flat and smooth as you wrap.
5. Insert clips, if necessary, to hold down unruly hair. Keep in mind that the clips may make small creases in your hair.
6. Comb your hair wrap, lightly, with a small-toothed comb to ensure the hair stays down and is molded to your head.
7. Place the middle of a silk or satin scarf on your forehead. You will want the scarf to be long enough to wrap around your head and wide enough to cover the back of your head. Silk and satin scarves work best because they are much more gentle on the hair than cotton or wool.
8. Wrap the scarf down the sides of your head (over your ears) and around to the back. Crisscross the scarf at the bottom of your head, and pull the sides back up the sides of your head.
9. Tie the scarf into a knot at your forehead. It's best to tie the scarf at your forehead to prevent a crease in the back of your head, and to prevent tiny hairs from getting stuck in the knot.
