One more question: Did you readjust your headgear to accommodate the headgear?

Re: Ladies - protecting long hair.
Yes, a little bit, not by much - because now I french twist my hair into my cap, so my mask has to make room for my hair. If you don't have a lot of hair, then you probably won't need to adjust anything.Starlette wrote:@QuietMorning

Re: Ladies - protecting long hair.
Good morning everyone.
I like to do a trade on my headcover http://www.headcovers.com/777/three-sea ... leep-caps/ for the buff instead http://www.buffwear.com/buff-headwear/o ... uff?page=2. Don't get me wrong on the headcover, is a very good head cover in my opinion. However, the buff cap Is easier for me to use because it is thinner and less need to adjust my mask. The headcover colors I have are the cream and black colored ones. PM me if you are interested. I used all three of them interchangeably for the last couple of weeks.

Re: Ladies - protecting long hair.
Thank you Quietmorning. I'll rephrase what I stated: I would like to trade out the two headcovers for a buff. If they don't have something to trade, then I'd just like to give them to a good home.

Re: Ladies - protecting long hair.
Isn't wearing a head cover too hot when you have long hair? My hair is down to my waist and I wear it up during the day. I can't picture how this might actually work but I get tired of hair all over the place when I am trying to sleep. The buff does look more promising but how do you wear it?

Re: Ladies - protecting long hair.
Just want to share that my long hair issues, breakage/slippage, etc., completed disappeared when I switched to the Tap Pap mask. No headgear = no hair trouble. Problem solved.

I tend to be cooler when my hair is up in a hat because it's off my neck.

Re: Ladies - protecting long hair.
I'm so tempted. But I've purchased enough stuff this year - it will have to wait until next year before I buy anything else.G'night Gracie wrote:Just want to share that my long hair issues, breakage/slippage, etc., completed disappeared when I switched to the Tap Pap mask.

I am going to try the bella again. . . and see how that does.
Re: Ladies - protecting long hair.
Whether it be the head Cover or the Buff Headwear, I find them both very comfortable and not too hot for my head when it comes to hair length which for me is shoulder length. The one thing that I love more about the Buff Headwear is that it is thinner then the Head Cover. Meaning that when I use the Head Cover, I have to adjust the straps to include the thickness of the Head Cover. When I use the Buff Headwear, the straps fit more natural on my head than the Head Cover. When I started using the Buff Headwear, I didn't know how to wear it on my hand, I wore as a hood. I did not like wearing it as a hood, so I returned back to the cardboard (not sure of what you call it at the moment) that it was wrapped around and it showed the different ways you could wear it. When I looked at it, I discovered the "Do Rag" look would work best for me.Stormynights wrote:Isn't wearing a head cover too hot when you have long hair?

Put it on like you would wear a turtleneck. Then raise the top portion behind your head, then the bottom part is raised to your forehand. Wola
Attached, I have included a diagram of the different styles, you'll see what I mean:

@G'night Gracie - I wish I could use the "Tap Pap", but I can't do to the dental appliance that I wear at night.G'night Gracie wrote:Just want to share that my long hair issues, breakage/slippage, etc., completed disappeared when I switched to the Tap Pap mask.

@SleepyonMagnoliaSt -That is great that you are so creative in styling your daughter's hair.

Re: Ladies - protecting long hair.
I read that about ten times before I figured it out. Thank you I might try one. I think my hair is too long for the way you wear it but I have another idea. I just need to tame the mess without clips or pins.Starlette wrote:Whether it be the head Cover or the Buff Headwear, I find them both very comfortable and not too hot for my head when it comes to hair length which for me is shoulder length.

Re: Ladies - protecting long hair.
I made the big leap; had my hair cut.
Unfortunately, the moron gave me a bob when I specifically requested a pixie--and brought pictures to boot.
