To get your hair in a bonnet, gather your hair and gently press it upwards towards the top of your head, then slide the bonnet over your hair.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Preparing Your Hair for a Bonnet
Before placing your hair in a bonnet, you might need to prepare it depending on the length and style. According to the reference, you do not always need to put your hair in a pineapple.
- Gather Your Hair:
- Use one hand to gently gather all of your hair.
- Press Hair Upward:
- Use your other hand to press the hair upwards towards the top of your head, as seen in the provided video at 0:26-0:29. The video explains, "And then the other hand is going to press the hair up. Towards the top of my hip."
- You want to press it up towards your head, not necessarily to the very top.
Placing the Bonnet
Once your hair is gathered and pressed upward, the next step involves securing the bonnet:
- Open the Bonnet: Widen the opening of the bonnet using your hands.
- Slide the Bonnet On: Gently slide the bonnet over your gathered hair, ensuring that all of it is contained within the bonnet.
- Adjust the Bonnet: Make sure the bonnet sits comfortably on your head, covering all of your hair.
Optional Considerations
While the primary method is straightforward, here are some additional insights:
- Pineapple Method: Some people prefer to gather their hair into a loose ponytail on top of their heads (a "pineapple") before putting on their bonnet. However, the provided reference suggests that you might not need to do this.
- Bonnet Size: Ensure your bonnet fits properly. A too-small bonnet will not accommodate all of your hair, and a too-large bonnet might slip off during the night.
- Scrunchies: The reference mentions that it may not be necessary to use a scrunchie before putting on the bonnet. This is dependent on your preference and your hair style.
By following these steps, you can easily and effectively get your hair into a bonnet, which is often used for nighttime hair protection.
