    I don't see how yall can manage to sleep with your hair tied in a bun or pony tail. xD it is so uncomfortable! LOL


    That's exactly what I was thinking! I can't do it, the most I can manage is maybe french braids but I usually leave mine down.

    I haven't cut my hair in about a year it's finally down past my shoulders.

    I like to tie my hair up in a half-ponytail where it's tied up low and before pulling the hair all the way through, I leave a bit of it hanging through the headband still as if it just a loose bun (: It doesn't get in the way when I sleep so it is convenient for me (:

    When I used to have a really long hair & I'd put it in plaits,My hair is shorter but even now I still do.Keeps it tangle free & it makes my hair manageable in the morning :)

    well I've actually researched and found that sleeping in a ponytail or bun is supposed to cause more split ends. The best recommended style for long hair when sleeping is braided or in a silky cap.

    But fyi I'm so used to sleeping with a ponytail I do most of the time but I have tons of split ends too. Lol

    I put mine in a messy bun at the top of my head

    This. It stops your neck getting all hot and you can still lay in any position you want

    OK, I just put my hair up in a bun on top of my head. There shall be no sitting up late reading with this! Every movement and the centre of gravity of my head is now so high it's flailing about like crazy!

    From a lying down perspective, I can see it could well work very well. Uber neck exposure ftw given my bedroom has a massive south facing bay window and will get epically hot in summer.

    I used to have hair down to my waist until last year, and I would just lie my hair over the top edge of the bed so it would hang down to the floor. I never plaited it or anything. I don't need to do that anymore now that it's short :)

    I sleep like a baby , thank you very much.
    On my belly and hair is usualy creating messy halo around head, doesnt bother me in the slightest since I dont mouthbreath during sleep,
    Tried to sleep with various ponytails and buns and samurai hairdos when my cat had phase for eating my hair but feeling anything pulling on my hair during night woke me up and made me angry. Cat stoped eating my hair now thankfully...
    Eu naturelle , especialy in cold cold winter.

    I usually plait my hair :) So used to it now that it feels weird when I leave it down. It does come undone sometimes during the night which is annoying. I keep finding stray elastic bands in my bed xD

    I never put elastic bands at night or anything else, I just spread them on the pillow on the top of my head so they won't get stuck between the sheets and my body. :P

    Well, as you can see from my pic, my hair is very thick! I usually leave it down though. For the most part, it doesn't bother me. The only time I will sleep in a ponytail is in the summer.

    What do you do with the hair?

    I'm trying to find a way of containing it that doesn't leave me uncomfortable and doesn't result in me lying on it during the night and pulling my head into strange positions. So far, unsuccessful and the scissors are looking mighty attractive.

    Hi, Draggonnade! You said you have sort of wavy hair? I found this awesome suggestion on Pinterest about naturally wavy/curly hair.

    http://pinterest.com/pin/42010208996266327/ (let me know if you can't pull that up)

    My hair is naturally curly and a little on the thick side, so I used part of an old sheet instead of a towel because it was less bulky and my hair didn't dry overnight with the towel. I actually really like the waves/curls I get from this, and it doesn't leave me waking up in the morning with tons of frizzies all over the place. Good luck! :)
