I've gotten a few emails on how to protect the hair at night, without the use of bonnets or scarfs. Many people, including myself find that satin bonnets still cause curls to smash. So, I started using the faux hawk method. This style protects the curls from being crushed because the curls are pushed to the top of the head. This method works well with short to long hair. Not to mention, it's a little sexier than that ole bonnet. lol.Step 1: You will need 4 or more big duck bill clips
I found these at Sally's Beauty Supply for $2.99
Step 2: Loosely pin up one side of your hair as high as you can without stretching the curl
Step 3: Pin up the next side creating a faux hawk
Step 4: this is not really a step, but as you can see, still a little sexier than the bonnet...yuck
Step 5: Remove clips, finger fluff curls and go...P.S. Don't forget your satin/silk pillowcase!

@Anonymous, I am currently using Acclaim Olive Oil Foam Setting lotion and Cantu Grow Strong Strengthening Treatment. For some reason, these two work well with my curls.

Hey, I'm a bit confused to be honest. Do you go to bed with the clips in your hair or not? Sorry if that's a silly question...
