Why Natural Hair Models Wear a Bonnet to Sleep
(and maybe you should too)
Wearing a bonnet has made all the difference in my natural hair journey. There’s just something about waking up in the morning with hair that's healthy, moisturized, and ready to go.
It saves me SO MUCH TIME doing my hair in the morning and I've noticed my hair grows much faster!
But let’s hit rewind for a moment...
In the past, when I started out my career in modeling with my natural hair, I had never worn a bonnet because I didn't know why other naturals wore them (and I wanted to look cute at night for hubby).
Until this one day I was getting ready to do some modeling work on a TV commercial…
The night before I washed my hair and set my alarm for 5am so I could get ready, do my hair and be on set for 9am.
In the morning after I was done getting ready, (coffee in hand) I was just about to step out of my Hollywood apartment to hit the road when I had a nagging feeling that I should check the back of my hair again...
I rushed to the bathroom, grabbed a handheld mirror to have a quick look at the back of my head.
Ugggh!
My hair was dry, extremely frizzy, and had zero curl definition—nothing like the front of my head. IT LOOKED AWFUL!
At first, I tried to conceal the damage by styling my hair in a high puff. But that meant I couldn’t wear my hair in my favorite style or how the producers wanted---my beloved fro!
And that’s when I had the aha-moment.
When you sleep at night, the back of your head rests on a rough cotton pillowcase. This activity (sleeping!) can suck all the moisture from your curls and it can get very ugly.
So, I found the answer… a bonnet!
In the beginning, I wore whichever basic bonnet I could find on Amazon that would fit around my afro. As you could imagine… I struggled night after night.
It was hard to get sleep with that cheap, uncomfortable thing on my head!
So, I started thinking…
What can I do to improve this situation (and get a good night's sleep)?
I wanted a bonnet that didn’t rub my edges off, that wasn’t tight and uncomfortable, and something that would protect my naturally curly hair.
My solution?
The SwirlyCurlyNighttime Bonnet.
Natural Hair Model, Keziah Dhamma, says that one of the best ways to promote healthy natural hair growth is to wear a soft & protective bonnet at night while you sleep.
She created the Nighttime Bonnet for women who want healthy natural hair.
If you’re struggling with dryness on your natural hair, the breakage can be unreal.
“It gets tricky to find out the cause of damage when it happens. You see the breakage on wash day, but that could mean something has gone wrong at another point during the week” says Keziah Dhamma, Founder of SwirlyCurly.
“Most of the time, it’s just a matter of making a small switch to your weekly routine.”
The SwirlyCurly Nighttime Bonnet is different from other bonnets. It’s the first bonnet to feature Edge Protect™, a technology that guards your hairline so you can grow thick, full edges.
“Sometimes, small changes can make drastic differences to the way your hair looks and feels,” says Dhamma.
“If you’re embarrassed to wear your hair out in a wash and go or you're always covering your head with a scarf or hat, you owe it to yourself to make a change in your regimen.”
The SwirlyCurly Nighttime Bonnet is luxurious. This velvet bonnet is made of super-soft satin material on the inside and luxurious velvet on the outside, so it doesn’t slide around during the night.
It's perfect for looking your best while taking care of your hair. It will work wonders to keep your curls healthy and moisturized.
When you purchase this Premium Satin Lined Nighttime Bonnet, you also get a FREE SwirlyCurly travel bag, LIFETIME WARRANTY and FREE SHIPPING! All for just $69.99.
Judging by the photos and videos, Dhamma, who is a natural hair model, has no trouble keeping her natural hair thick and lustrous. She praises her NighttimeBonnet for helping her to grow and retain beautiful, healthy curls.
“I get so many compliments on my natural hair. It gives me a confidence boost knowing that other people think my hair looks stunning. I owe it all to my Nighttime Bonnet,” explains Dhamma.
“No more bad hair days for me. I feel pretty when I wake up in the morning!”
Nighttime Bonnets are a must-have for keeping frizz at bay and for promoting healthy growth. The bonnet is machine-washable and dryer-safe so you can keep it fresh and comfy.
Have a lot of hair?
The good news is that the SwirlyCurlyNighttime Bonnet has three snaps to make it fully adjustable. Make different sizes by adjusting the snap. This fabulous feature will come in handy for nights when you're wearing different hairstyles. For example, you can wear twists to bed one night, then adjust it for a twist-out for the following night!
The result is gorgeous hair and healthy natural growth you can fall in love with.
