How to Put on a Silk Hair Wrap?

Putting on a silk hair wrap is a simple process that protects your hair while you sleep. Here's how:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Gather your hair: Begin by gently gathering all your hair together, either at the nape of your neck or higher on your head, depending on your hair length and preference. Some people prefer a "pineapple" method, gathering their hair high on the crown of their head.
Place the wrap: Carefully place the silk wrap over your gathered hair. Ensure the elastic edge of the wrap is at the base of your hairline. The Silke London Hair Wrap, for example, specifically instructs to "Scoop your hair into the wrap so it all fits inside the elasticated silk edge; completely cover your hairline and tips of your ears".
Secure the wrap: The wrap should now comfortably enclose your hair. The elastic edge should keep it securely in place throughout the night. Some wraps may have additional features for extra security.
Adjust as needed: Make any necessary adjustments to ensure all your hair is tucked in and that the wrap is comfortable and doesn't feel too tight.

Hair Type: The method of gathering your hair before wrapping may vary depending on your hair type and length. Curly hair may benefit from a looser, "pineapple" style gather, while straighter hair can be gathered lower.
Wrap Style: Different silk wraps may have slightly different application methods. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions if included.
Damp vs. Dry Hair: While some people use silk wraps on damp hair (for example, after plopping), others prefer to use them on dry hair. Consider what works best for your hair type and routine. Note that using a silk wrap on damp hair might not always be appropriate depending on your wrap and routine. Refer to the product instructions.

This method helps minimize friction and breakage, leading to healthier, smoother hair.
