How I wrap my hair for work. Always wear silk underneath your cotton, protect the moisture. This is my favorite head scarf, it was my mommy’s and this is my favorite way to wrap my hair. It never comes undone and it doesn’t feel too tight either. It’s cotton so it’s very breathable and it keeps my hair safe from any pathogens or pests. I’m a hairdresser so I work in very close proximity to the general public and during this back to school season, a lot of kids come in with lice. So these are the precautions I take to keep myself safe. And while it’s not unheard of for black people to get lice, it is quite uncommon. However, I could only imagine trying to get them out of my afro.
