I usually just throw it up in a pony tail (without brushing through it and everything). I think I'll try it your way next time. But, my hair's a little stubborn, so I'll probably still end up with the bump.

While you guys are on the subject of scrunchies... Have you ever pulled your hair back into a pony tail: loose, tight, high up, low down - but no matter how you put it...you always end up with this really stubborn "bump" or wave in the back of your head? I have straight hair and it happens all the time. Are there any ways to prevent that or is it just something we have to live with if we want to wear our hair in a scrunchie (or hair tie/pony tail etc)?
Not sure if I understand the phenomenon you describe. Whenever I make a ponytail, I comb the hair toward the spot where I want the tail to be. It helps align the strands so that there are no lumps; bonus is that the weight is distributed evenly among the strands so there is no noticeable tension on the strands.
That's the main reason I hate sleeping with my hair in a ponytail or
braid. Its otherwise straight so I get either the one bump, or 3
or 4 waves with the rest of it straight. Sometimes I just sleep
with it down to avoid that and deal with the tangles (which I'm sure
ain't that great). I sleep in those Pony-O things that I think
are made for kids, but they are terrycloth and good for hair.

Yeap! happens to everyone. The only people who usually don't get it, are people with super straight, but super fine silky hair. If your hair is straight but the strands are thick, you are stuck with the freeking waves from the scrunchies. Oh well, I guess it comes with the territory LOL.

Just like Dave said, wearing a scrunchie won't be an issue since he is only using it to go to sleep with. Besides, he doesn't need to use the huge ones. They have little ones that once are wrapped around the hair looks like any normal hair tie.

Dude, it sounds like your hair is getting longer - that's great. Post a photo if you get a chance. As for tangling when sleeping, I never could do a ponytail or braid because it damaged my hair more than it helped during sleep (I move around a lot). So I leave mine loose most of the time. I think oiling lightly would probably help you. Then just wash and go in the morning.

First of all when you wash use a good detangleling conditioner. The best is Paul Mitchell The Detangler. I haven't met a mane that stuff could not detangle. Then you need to use some kind of leave in conditioner. Try Sebastian Potion 9, is great.
Much love, Shary

Well, when I sleep, I normally leave it hanging down and just flip it behind my head (I sleep on my side). In the morning, it's not really, really, tangled, but nothing a brushing won't help!

I always have at least a high pony tail, but usually I either braid,
roll, or wrap it, mostly to prevent split ends. The only time I
leave the pony tail free is if I really want it straight the next day.

no scrunchie won't work for me, I use satin sleep cap from
