hey curliesue grin i dont use any kind of hairband scrunchie etc like people do with the pineapple but the principle is the same
I stand up flip my hair down pulling hair forward so hair is all hair is at front of head and put my buff on when you stand up your hair will be sticking up right in the buff like a tree lool

that way when im sleeping i dont get any kind of weird bends and kinks like i would if i used a hairband so when i take down my buff in the morning i literally shake and go hair is PERFECT im going to buy lots more of these love the different patterns tongue wink

I have watched the video that shows the various ways to wear one - thanks for posting!

Your fotki is restricted.  Could you post some pictures?

Is the material like tights / satin? 

It mentions microfibre.  I only know micro-fibre to be towels.

Sorry to ask so many questions!  I am really interested and want to buy one, but have so many questions! lol!

Cowash:  Herbal Essences Hello Hydration / John Frieda Frizz-Ease Curl Around Daily Conditioner
Leave-In:Mixed Chicks (mixed with a drop of Olive Oil)
Styler: Eco Styler

The above products are the ones I use mainly, but as my curly hair is quite new to me, I am still experimenting with various stylers and leave-ins, in my quest for multiple day hair!  Soooo not feeling the daily wash routine!!

Uh..I slap something moisurising on..as my hair is guaranteed to have dried out during the day. Wrap in satin scarf and sleep on satin pillow. I also have a Buff!!! That I use on holiday! Last trip I had my braids sticking out the top. I have short-ish hair so I don’t have to deal with too much hair to braid. It’s pretty simply and most of the time my hair is already in a protective style so I just leave it like that and wrap it up.

Styling:Dark & Lovely/ECO styler
