How do I wrap my hair to make it look sleek?

Question

I'd like to wrap set my hair anybody able to post instructions? I've never done this myself before. My hair is relaxed.

Answer 1

I do this all the time and here are step by step instructions for a straight wrap, not a body wrap.

1. Wash hair
2. Condition hair
3. Rinse conditioner out and lightly towel dry.
4. You need to use wrapping lotion (you maybe able to get away with regular setting lotion) and spray that on your hair. Do not over spray because you don't want you're hair to have a hard shell once it drys
5. Comb your hair into a mushroom shape (basically start from the crown of your head and comb your hair down so it surrounds your entire head in the front, back, and sides). You need to use a wide tooth comb for this.
6. Using a fine tooth comb, make a part at the top of your head and carefully (in the direction you feel most comfortable) pull your hair in that direction and continue to wrap (circle) around the shape of your head. Make sure the top of your hair is a smooth as you can make it. This will make your hair smoother once it is dry.
7. As you comb around your head make sure you comb through any tangles and buppy spot; you want to make sure everything is smooth.
8. Once you've finished wrapping your hair around your head tighten it by using a clean brush and brush your hair until its really tight and smooth.
9. Spray a little more wrapping lotion and brush again.
10. Use hair wrapping paper to keep your hair in place or use a long piece of toilet paper and tie it around your head lightly
11. Sit under a hooded dryer until your hair is COMPLETLEY DRY. Again, make sure your hair is completely dry. The amount of time you sit under is determined by the length and texture of your hair.
12. Once its dry use a comb to unwrap your hair. You may need to use a flat iron or big curing iron to straigten the top of your hair out.
13. Spray oil sheen and your finished!

I hope this helps. I'll be doing a wrap on myself tomorrow night after I give myself a relaxer.

Answer 2

just part it,(in the middle) start from the top and make sure you go in the direction that you want your swoop to be, and just comb the hair around your head. When you get finished you can put setting lotion on it.
