Sleeping With Hair Extensions | Wrapping Your Hair

Everyone, okay, so today I'm going to talk to you about the different methods you can use when sleeping with your extensions in so this is for people that have permanent extensions, and so you either have like keratin bond cold fusion. A sewing anything like that. That requires you to sleep with your extensions in, so I'm going to show you a few ways that you can use to make sure you maintain your extensions, a lot you're sleeping so right now. What the extensions that I have in these are the Bellamy hair extensions. Actually I took the clips out and I have them installed using the lock and stitch method. You can read more about that on my blog, so I'm showing you the first way right now. Of course, you can braid your hair when you're sleeping. So this is important because you don't want to tangle up the extensions when you're sleeping, because that can be a huge mess. So this is one of the ways that you can maintain your extensions, while you're sleeping so you use two rays or one braid depends and the tighter the braid. You know the tighter the waves you'll get in the morning or if you sleep with like a looser braid, you can get nice sleek loose waves in the morning, okay. So this is what my hair looks like without the braids. So usually, when I sleep in with braids, this is what kind of looks like in the morning now. If you don't want to have wavy hair, when you wake up say you want to go to sleep with straight hair and wake up with straight hair. What you can do is wrap your hair with a silk scarf and you want to make sure it's a silk scarf, not a cotton scarf, for example, because cotton absorbs the moisture from your hair while silk satin. Doesn'T that's why it's recommended that you sleep with? I guess: silk satin pillow, for example, versus a cotton pillow, because cotton pillows promote breakage and absorb the moisture from your hair, even though I sleep as I cotton pillow. Another thing you can use is a cap like this when you sleep at night, just because the inside is a satin material, so that will help create a barrier between your hair and the con of your pillowcase anyway. So if you want to wake up with straight hair, this is a way that you can wrap your hair while you're sleeping. So I'm not pro at this just so you know, there's a I've watched a couple tutorials on YouTube on how to wrap your hair. This is like what I do, which is like the lazy girl method. So basically what you want to do well, what I do is right now. I have a middle purpose. If you have a side purse, so you have side bangs go with the way that your bangs go. So you just want to start brushing your hair and literally just wrap it around your head. Now you can take if you did, if you want to do, is properly you want to take your time while you're doing this. But honestly I don't really care so um cuz. If you take the more time you take this straighter, your hair and the nicer is going to be when you wake up in the morning the way I do it like sometimes they'll - wake up with a couple kinks here and there, but I don't care I'll. Just take like a straightener to it and then it's fine, so you just keep wrapping your hair and usually I run into problems like over here, but it's all good now, as you can probably see it's a little bit messy right here, but that doesn't bother me If it bothers you, then you need to take more time while you're packing your hair and kind of like bobby, pin it along the way. Honestly, it's frustrating to me like doing it so slow. So I don't even bother with that and then what I use is a little duckbill clip like this, and then I just clip my hair right here and then this scarf already comes in, like a triangle shape. Oh, I got this one from H & M. The Marnie collection, if you have a scarf, that's like a square just like obviously fold it in half. So it's a triangle and then what you're going to do is just literally just wrap your hair like this. So I just put the triangle over and then these two corners and wrap it above the back that make sense and then just kind of fix that and then I just kind of tile just tight lightly. So then, you can take the clip out here and if you clipped it along the way or bobby, pinned it along the way. This is the time that you can take your bobby pins out because you it's kind of uncomfortable to sleep with your hair pinned up like that. So I just slide the clip out and I, like my ears out, I find a more comfortable and then this is where I tie it a little tighter and then I bring these bits up to the top, and this is where you can double knot it to Make sure that it stays in place it's more comfortable to have the knot on top, so that you're not sleeping with it, I mean so it doesn't bother you when you're sleeping - and this is how I wrap my hair. So this is a really good method. It'S really comfortable. Actually, if you will for me it is at least because then you don't have hair everywhere and you're. Just you know, and oh there's not hair in your face and stuff. I find this method works best if you have say a sewing or what I have like the lock and stretch method. If you have like individual keratin bonded extensions or cold fusion, I find this method doesn't work as well. Just because when I had the cold fusion - and I brought my hair like this - I found that it kind of pulled on the individual bond so say if I wrap my hair, this way, it'll kind of pull on some of the ones here and cause breakage. So I don't really recommend it if you had that kind of extensions, just because the pressure on the individual bond just from pulling your hair and wrapping it like this, you know it can cause breakage and it's not a good thing. So if you have those kind of extensions, I would say stick to braiding your hair or sleeping on a satin pillowcase or using a cap like this. You can braid your hair and then put this cap on top, and I find with like this so in just because it's on a braid like this, the pressure is it on one single part of your head, it's kind of distributed across your head. So I find that's why this works best with it was type of hair extensions and there's different ways that you can wrap your hair. I just showed you one way, which is like probably not even the best thing. I you can experiment of different types, there's like a crisscross method that I tried, but I was like too complicated. I find this is like easiest. It'S like the lazy girl method, just wrapped around clip done you're done so then, when you wake up in the morning, you just um you just undo this, oh and then you just go like that, and then you brush out your hair and if you do that With straight hair, you go your hair, you know you'll wake up with relatively straight hair. You might have to straighten a few pieces, but well my hair is not straight. I didn't show you this straight hair, but you get the idea, so those are pretty much the main ways. Umm also depends so say if you want to wake up with wavy hair you'll sleep in a braid. If you want to wake up the straight hair, I'd recommend wrapping your hair. If you want to wake up with like kind of curly hair, I used to what I used to do is sleep in a bun or like two buns. So I would like twist my hair into a little bun like this on both sides, and then you can sleep with this and it gives you kind of like nice curls when you wake up umm. I know some people sleep with like a top bun. I wouldn't recommend that exactly just because it it's the wrong kind of pressure on your extensions just because of the pulling your when you're pulling your hair into that top button, you're pulling on the bonds you're pulling on your own hair. So I can cause breakage and kind of decrease the life of your extensions, so yeah that's about it. I hope this video helped you in some way or gave you a couple tips and tricks that you might not have known about. If you have any questions. Just come below and yeah that's about it. Alright take care, bye, guys,
