My Skirt  Slip Replaced My Bonnet!??!?!

4/8/2013

    Alright, do not laugh!  I have been sleeping with my skirt slip over my fro for the past  week lol!  Yes!!! Sounds crazy right? Okay, so let me explain what's be  my bonnet is not real satin it is actually only satin like.  In fact, most scarves and bonnets that are sold in stores like Walmart or beauty supply store are polyester, nylon,and rayon blends :)   I don't mind using these materials as long as they don't dry out my fro.  My bonnet and scarf hasn't cause any dryness so that's why I have been using them :)  However, as my hair grows out, it is also growing up!  LOL  Unfortunately, my bonnet is now raising up on my head and rubbing against my edges which is a no go for me. 


    I've been thinking about ordering a new bonnet, one made of silk or a better satin, but honestly, I don't feel like spending money on one just yet lol.  I needed an alternative to protect my fro at night.  That's where the idea of trying my skirt slip came in lol!  My slip feels almost identical to my bonnet and scarf.  The one I've been trying out is made of  nylon but its not dry and draggy like a stocking lol.  It's actually very smooth :)  I have several slips and they are all different materials (poly blends, nylon, rayon etc.) 
  
    I have to admit I was nervous at first trying the slip out, but I'm soo glad I did!  My hair has been soo much more moisturized :)  So much so, that I have been going days with out having to add really anything to my fro.  My styles have been holding up awesome as well and I have been getting about 4-5 days out of my styles without re- twisting.   There has been no breakage, snagging, or extra frizzing either!   I'm lovin the slip!  So, for now, I will be using my slip along with my satin pillow case (which is on its last leg), to protect my fro at night until I decide whether or not I want to order a new bonnet :)  I'm not in a rush though!  Have a great day!

I think you may have come up with an invention. You can even cut the slip and decorate the ends and put a "tie" around it. Sounds interesting. I noticed that the "du rag" I bought from the store was polyester also. I went on Ebay and bought a 100% silk(old vera scarf that was real silk) And I've noticed a definite difference. Could it be that many have extra dry hair because polyester and microfibers are absorbing moisture out of hair?
Excellent discovery on your part. ;-)

Hi Sandy!
Thanks! I do think that sometimes the materials bonnets and scarves are made of can cause the hair to feel dry. It's unfortunate that most packaging only says "satin" because of the "feel" of the material. The slip I'm using right now is a silky nylon but i have a couple polyester ones too. lol Surprisingly, the polyester ones are even softer and silkier than the one I'm using, but I was like "iffy" on the fact that it was polyester lol! The one I'm using is working awesome so i'm just gonna stick with it as long as my hair agrees :D. I may try the other ones later on out of curiosity lol

I had to chime in on this one because I do this all the time. In fact it's what I'm using now. It a good way to reuse a garment and it doesn't dry out our hair. I actually prefer it better than bonnets because I wear my hair in two strand twists and praise God it's now long enough to wrap with bobby pins and the slip keeps them laid down in a proper direction so I don't wake up with my hair going every which away but right. LOL :)
