Wrapping curly hair?

LOREBUNDE · Sep 3rd, 2008, 10:10 PM

I know there's threads about curly hair but didn't see anything about what to do (if anything) at bedtime. My hair is basically straight but daughters is curly. Just washed and air-dryed so nice and curly. Problem is the morning it will be frizzy and all over. I've seen online videos of wrapping but it seems it's all straight hair. help please! Just throw in a pony-tail?

that happens to mine too. i usually mist w/ water and leave it and it magically curls back up.

wrapping your hair is recommend for straight locks (or straightened locks)

why dont you comb your hair out and braid it?

Apply a leave in conditioner or even an overnight conditioner and braid. then in the morning comb through. that shold eliminate the frizz. and if its an overnight conditioner, simply wash it out and style as usual

My daughter has extremely curly hair, its so beautiful. Usually what she does now(she's older doing her own hair) is after shampooing she applies conditioner and leaves it in. This helps tame the curls and keep them from looking frizzy.

yeah, you can't wrap curly hair. put it in a high loose pony tail or loose braid. and get her a satin pillowcase to sleep on.

This is what I do.

I only wrap my hair when it's flatiron and straight.
