Sleeping With Long Hair

My hair is half way down my back and extremly thick! I have found the easiest way to fix it at night is to use hair clips like jaw clips or this really nice clip called a Karma clip from Wal-Mart.  Usually any clip that says "For Thick Hair" will work really good. Once my hair reaches my waist I'm probably going to switch to using two clips since my hair is so thick. As long as you leave your hair parted and just twist your hair and clip it at the nape of your neck the clips do not leave bumps! I don't know if this would work well on curly hair. My hair is sort of wavy.

My fall out rate has decreased also. It is so easy to comb out. It does destroy the curl pattern, but I at least spray it down every day. 

I put mine in a segmented ponytail (pony, then add another scrunchie, and another... all the way toward the end) And then I sock curl the end sometimes. That way I don't end up with braid waves when I don't want them.

I braided it last night too and it was amazingly easy to comb out in the morning, less fallouts too. Love it, gonna continue doing it.

Wow, thats great Gypsydoll! I could not imagine my hair staying put like that. I guess i just move alot.

I KNOW!!!! i toss in my sleep a lot  too. i once woke up to myself crouching on my bed with m hands like claws (i no weird huh) but i find that if u braid high at the nape u forget the hair exists. i wish that hair could just pop out at night and reglue itselfin the morning but it won't lolz

 I also braid it. Mine's waistlenght and if I leave it done its a tangled mess in the morning

I know of a few others who braid their hair at night so I think I'm gonna start doing that. It's very irritating trying to comb through it in the morning as you all probably know ;)

I usually sleep with it down, but I'm curious too: is there a better way?When it's down I wake up suffocating on badly tangled hair, but when it's in a ponytail it gets that weird ponytail wave and it always comes out of a bun. Have you tried a braid?
