10 Reasons Your Curls Don’t Last + Longest-Lasting Routine
Do your curls look frizzy, limp, and undefined by the end of the day? This is one of the biggest complaints I hear from y’all
Today’s video is a simple one, but something I get asked very often is how to put on a bonnet and the best ways to preserve your curls at night. With naturally curly hair, it’s best to protect your curls at night in order to prolong your wash days.
There are several ways to protect your curls at night, including:
Both are great for protecting your curls, and it’s really personal preference and which material you like more. In my opinion, satin feels more slippery and glossy, and is more cooling. Silk is very soft and has more of a dull appearance. Silk is natural fiber and satin is a synthetic weave.
Finding the right fitting the bonnet is like finding the right bra. It can be tough when ordering online or buying the in store because it’s hard to tell the size.
It’s important to get the right so your curls so it’s effective. If your bonnet is too tight, your curls could be smushed against your scalp and become mis-shaped.
If it’s too big, your curls will fall and not be held up on top of your head. It can also slide off when sleeping if it’s not snug enough against your hairline.
If you have very long, thick hair, look for an extra-large size. If you have short or low density hair, you should be fine with a regular size.
I also look for bonnets that do not have a thick headband design around the rim, because I find those to be uncomfortable to sleep in.
If you do not prefer to wear a bonnet, the next best option is to wear your curls up on top of your head using a satin/silk scrunchie. This is called a “pineapple” in the curl girl community because of the appearance. This protects the inside layer of your curls since just the underside is touching the surface of your pillow. It’s highly recommended to still sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase with this method.

I pineapple my curls because I wear a CPAP. Do you have any recommendations on how to stop the morning frizz or another way to preserve curls wearing a CPAP?
