Wrapping your hair is the best way to maintain a style and the healthiness of your hair.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Brush
  • Long Scarf
  • Silk Bonnet (optional)
  1. Step 1

    Comb your hair in a normal style. I normally part my hair slightly off to the right. Comb all strands down. If you use a moisturizer, apply it, and then comb hair normally. Brushing your hair is a good way to stimulate your scalp and promote hair growth, especially before bedtime.

  2. Step 2

    Part your hair on the side. With a brush, begin to "sweep" your hair around your head. Avoid brushing to hard. Use your non-brushing hand to help you with your sweep.

  3. Step 3

    Continue the process of sweeping your hair around your head until you have all of your hair in a neat cone. Make sure no stray hairs are sticking out. (Beginners may think this process is a little cumbersome. I did initially, but once your hair is "trained", wrapping your hair gets easier and easier.) The advantage is that your strands will become smoother and smoother.

  4. Step 4

    Now that your hair is securely wrapped around your head, if you would like to apply any additional moisturizer, now would be a good time to do so.

  5. Step 5

    Take your long scarf and tie it around your head. Position the middle of the scarf at your forehead, and tie the scarf around your head, then either secure a knot or a bow to hold scarf in place. Gently push the scarf up off of your forehead.

  6. Step 6

    Secure the scarf by placing an elastic bonnet cap over your head. (This is an optional step, but helps keep the scarf on during sleep.)

Tips & Warnings
  • Continued use of wrapping your hair, particularly after a roller set will yield amazing results - healthier hair!
  • Keeping direct heat like flat irons will also promote healthy hair and reduce breakage.
