something about my hair being tied up its like it cant breathe and it ends up sweating and frizzing up thats why i switched to satin but my salonist keeps saying something about satin pillows not keeping your hair in place.I have no problem combing it in the morning i have to anyways to roll it in hair rollers to have some curl for the day

Some one else on another board suggested turning the bonnet inside out so that the elastic is on the outside. I thought I'd give that a try before getting the satin pillowcases.

ITA using only the bonnet was not helping me at all the hair was not as tangled but I think the elastic band was causing breakage. So now I wrap everynight with a silk scarf and put my bonnet over that HTH

I hear you about sweating all night so what I did was get a looong satin scarf and tied it so the top of my head gets air while holding the rest in place as I sleep. Satin sheets or cases still really isn't enough if you have suffered damage. I mean unless you lay absolutely, perfectly still all night your hair is still rubbing and twisting.

If you're really serious about breakage, it would be best to wrap it up.
If your hair is long, not only will it tangle unwrapped, but the friction of it rubbing all night on a pillow case will cause breakage, and I personally lose more moisture in my hair when it's unwrapped.
Satin scarves are more comfortable than non-satin scarves.

honestly, when I don't have braids, I pin curl my hair and tie it up w/ a satin scarf. This keeps your hair in place and prevents tangles. Honestly, it depends on your hair texture and the amount of manipulation you feel like putting up w/ in the morning. I hear satin/silk pillowcases are good but do what's more comfortable for you...just protect your hair.

Do I have to tie my hair up at night? I hate those bonnet things and those head wrap things too they make my head sweat. I currently use a satin pillow case but my stylist says this wont keep my hair in place.....i mean i dont care about having to comb it in the morning because i have to manipulate it anyway when i put my curlers in it.So do I have to tie my hair up in order to prevent breakage or can i just sleep on a pillow case ?
