Tying hair up into a pineapple

1. The pineapple (high pony)

Loosely pull your hair into a ponytail on top of your head and tie it with a scrunchie. A silk scrunchie is best.

2. The pineapple (high bun)

Do the same steps as above by pulling your hair loosely into a ponytail on top of your head. This time, however, you are going to tie the scrunchie around, pull your hair through, and stop halfway to create a bun.


This method allows you to sleep with the hair out of your face. It's great for people like me who have longer curly hair.

3. Sleep cap

Tuck all your hair up into a satin or silk sleep cap. This will help keep your curls intact. This method is great for those who have shorter curls.

You can also combine these tips. For example, tie your hair up into a pineapple and then tuck it into a silk sleep cap. 


Pineapples preserve volume and can even give your hair more volume, so this is a great method if you're looking to keep or get more volume.

6. The buff

I am using something called a buff that is basically a long and stretchy headband. This is one of my favorite methods to use.


My hair is long and the ends stick out the top. So, I put it on by flipping my head over and pulling it up over my hair, then tying it off with a scrunchie at the end into a bun. 


All these methods of sleeping are great for curl protection. Personally, I sleep with my hair in a loose bun on my head with a silk pillowcase.
