Steps to Silk Wrap Hair

Based on the provided video reference, here’s a breakdown of how to silk wrap your hair for nighttime protection.

  1. Start with Flat Hair: Ensure your hair is already straightened and flat, typically after a silk press. This provides the best base for wrapping.

  2. Initial Pinning:

    • Begin by smoothing your hair, then placing a hair pin at the front to secure the start of your wrap.
    • The video shows the importance of making sure the front is nice and flat before adding the initial pin.
  3. Wrapping:

    • Take the rest of your hair and begin wrapping it around your head.
    • Make sure that the hair overlaps the pins as you wrap.
  4. Securing:

    • Add more pins as you go to ensure the hair is well secured, and that nothing moves during sleep.

Key Points for an Effective Silk Wrap:

  • Flatness: Ensure your hair is flat against your head to prevent creases or bends.
  • Secure Pins: Use enough hair pins to keep the wrap secure throughout the night.
  • Overlap: Make sure your hair overlaps the hair pins as you are wrapping.

Why Silk Wrap?

  • Maintains Straightness: Silk wrapping helps maintain the straightness of your hair after a silk press.
  • Reduces Frizz: Wrapping minimizes friction, preventing frizz from developing overnight.
  • Preserves Style: It helps to keep your hairstyle intact for longer.

By following these steps, you can effectively silk wrap your hair and maintain your straight hairstyle overnight.
