Wrapping:
- Take the rest of your hair and begin wrapping it around your head.

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:

- Overlap: Make sure your hair overlaps the hair pins as you are wrapping.
