Hey, beautiful! 👋🏽 If you're anything like me, you know that wrapping your hair at night is one of those non-negotiables for keeping your afro texture hair looking fresh, frizz-free, and healthy. But I get it – if you're new to this or just looking for some tips, you're probably wondering, "How do I wrap my hair at night?" Don't worry, I got you! 💁🏾♀️
Wrapping your hair at night is a game changer for preserving various hairstyles, protecting your natural curls, and retaining moisture. Trust me, once you get the hang of it, it’s going to be your new best friend in the fight against frizz and tangles. So, let's break it down, step by step, for how to wrap your hair and keep it looking bomb!
How to Wrap a Silk Press at Night 🌟
First off, let’s talk about that silky smooth silk press. Whether you’ve got sleek, straight hair or just want to keep your press looking fly overnight, this is how you do it:
What you’ll need:
-
Brush (to smooth things out)
-
Silk scarf
-
Optional: Silk bonnet and hair clips
Steps:
-
Brush it out: Start from the top of your head, and gently brush through your hair to make sure it’s smooth and free from any tangles.
-
Wrap it up: Now, take the ends of your hair and start wrapping it around your head in your desired direction. I usually start from the top and wrap it around the back to keep that shape in place.
-
Secure the wrap: If you need to, grab a couple of hair clips to keep everything in place. We don’t want that silk press going anywhere while we sleep, right?
-
Tie it up: Now, tie your silk scarf around your head, making sure it covers all your hair. Be sure the scarf is snug, but not too tight. You want your hair to be protected, but not uncomfortable!
-
Bonus step: If you want EXTRA protection, wear a silk bonnet over your scarf to lock everything in. This is perfect for preventing any frizz and keeping your hair smooth throughout the night. 💁🏾♀️
How to Wrap Braids, Twists, or Locs at Night 💖
Now, if you’ve got braids, twists, or locs, wrapping them at night is equally important to keep them neat, frizz-free, and on point. Plus, it helps retain that beautiful moisture you worked so hard to lock in.
What you’ll need:
-
Scrunchies (preferably satin or silk)
-
Silk scarf or silk bonnet
Steps:
-
Part it: Split your hair into two sections down the middle of your head. This makes it easier to manage.
-
Twist it up: Take one section and cross it over the other, creating a loose wrap around the top of your head. Tuck those ends in, girl!
-
Secure with scrunchies: Use a scrunchie to hold everything in place. If your hair is long, you can even double up on the scrunchies to keep the ends secured.
-
Tie it up: Now, take your silk scarf and tie it around your hair, making sure all the braids, twists, or locs are fully covered.
-
Double the protection: For even more security (and a little extra glam), you can pop a silk bonnet over your scarf. Trust me, your hair will thank you in the morning!
