I've been wearing a silk bonnet at night to protect and grow my hair out, and I LOVE IT!!
Silk bonnets have been worn forever but I'm just not jumping on the band wagon ;) There are some really beautiful ones out there, but the real silk ones are quite expensive. I'm showing you how to make your own, out of a thrifted silk scarf! You can make a few out of one scarf so it costs just a few dollars.
Hope you all enjoy this one!
MATERIALS
Silk Scarf or 1/2 yard of silk
Fabric Scissors

Pins

I appreciate you 1000x more for crediting black women, we don’t get the recognition very often, thank you ❤️

You had me scared - I was like pleaseeeee don’t act like this is an invention. And you did it right... really appreciate your attention to context and the imagery you used. The video’s content is also dope! Thanks for the care, Orly! I love your channel.

I appreciate that little shoutout. A few years ago someone "came out with" satin sleep bonnets and said she invented it 😐 When someone said no you didn't black women have been doing this forever she got mad lol. I wish I could wear this cute turban style but my hair won't have any of it. 😅

If you will tuck a piece of tissue paper along the seam before you sew, it will keep the silk in place and the friction of the paper will keep it from being so slippery. When you're finished sewing, simply tear the tissue paper out. If it gives you a problem getting all the paper out, simply dampen the tissue paper slightly with a little water.

When I first saw this pop up I got SO NERVOUS you weren't going to mention that black women have been doing this forever... very pleased that you did. Beautiful bonnet!!

I was really afriad of culture appropiation because lets face it...this is a technique most black women do not many caucatians do it...but the way to explianed it and the way you give them credit for it makes me lve your channel even more! Greeting from a white gay male LOL

[@francesvicioso3200]

I appreciate you giving credit to black women! I've always loved your videos, but I definitely was concerned about this being a "new" thing. This makes me love your channel so much more!

My Mother, Grandmother and other womenfolk I know have been sleeping in silk scarves, bonnets, caps and turbans for ages. I sleep in a silk turban and am due for a couple new ones so you have now given me a reason to whip them up this weekend. You made this look so incredibly easy. Thank you love and thank you for crediting this to Black women.

Tutorial Too fast!

Thank you honey , I have been having Cancer treatment, my head is very sensitive. My hair is falling out. Does that turban make your head , very hot. I have a cpap machine, elastic straps, I think that would make it hurt less. Love watching your videos, you are amazing, thank you. I am a 61 year old grandma.

Great job! I never made this style because I thought it was too complicated. Couple pro tips: 1. Instead of elastic, you can do a drawstring or do both. I do this because I get headaches easily, elastic wears out, and the bonnet can expand as my hair grows.

I remember my mum always wearing something like this to bed when I was a kid, in Australia, in the 60's and 70's. She would go to the hairdresser every Saturday morning for the classic "shampoo, set and comb up" and then sleep in the cap every night, to preserve the hair-do. The one she had was so old, it was part of her trousseau, in 1952...I suppose it's like everything, if you wait long enough, it'll come back into "fashion". I'm am old lady, I've seen a lot of things come and go, and come back again... :)

As someone who just had to have a chunk of hair cut bc of a really bad mat, thank you! And thank you to black women! 🙌🏼❤

[@ifonlyseethrumyeyes8957]

perfect, that's today's project. I've been saving a black silk skirt that is too small for me and now I know what to do with it. Great for gifts too. Thx

[@maritzamoffett8021]

That’s what I appreciate. Someone (you Orly😊) ... making something for everyone. Not just for a certain type of person. You are so creative and awesome. I am so sure that your audience has expanded because of this. More please. And thank you.
