The hair that we love and makes us look beautiful is all good and great to own. The colour, texture the identity of a black woman, but the more that we love and cherish I came across an article written by Kristine Collins Jackson that really defines some of the issues with wrapping your hair at night. She would wrap her hair at night and too frequently she would find that her hair would “totally jack up”. This could have been since she was wrapping her hair properly, but the constant tossing and turning at night would ruin all the effort she places in the hair. At 11pm the last night, her realising, after a long day at work that it is very late and she needs to wake up early the next morning, as she starts preparing for bed, she realises that her hair is not wrapped. “I hate my hair”, she would look for the scarf, she would spend time wrapping it and it could still spell and has been the case before that all this effort spells disaster and a dash for the bus.
After a while wrapping your hair up will be a total recipe for headaches because it disturbs the blood flow to your head. And you get this extra pain on your plate you never ordered or can handle. The movies depict ladies that have afro textured hair that always wake up in the mornings with brilliant hair, despite the night they had the day before. It does play on your minds that you might be the only one struggling with the problem.
One of the solutions would be to get a satin or a silk pillowcase. That works for some hair texture because it has so many good benefits for the hair. But there are good and bad benefits to wrapping your hair.
