I've been wearing a silk bonnet at night to protect and grow my hair out, and I LOVE IT!!
Silk bonnets have been worn forever but I'm just not jumping on the band wagon ;) There are some really beautiful ones out there, but the real silk ones are quite expensive. I'm showing you how to make your own, out of a thrifted silk scarf! You can make a few out of one scarf so it costs just a few dollars.
Hope you all enjoy this one!
MATERIALS
Silk Scarf or 1/2 yard of silk
Fabric Scissors
Measuring Tape
Pins
Sewing Machine
I appreciate you 1000x more for crediting black women, we don’t get the recognition very often, thank you ❤️
DimeBeauty I agree, I was hoping she’d address that.
thank you. It was important for me to handle this respectfully
The DIY Designer NOW I really LOVE YOU! I don’t even know I need another reason. Thanks for acknowledging what we have grown up with. BTW, I lost my dang satin pillow case last summer on vacation. Time to implement your tutorial...and buy another pillow case!
@kshiftkometh Good grief. Drawings? You are a prime example of why I follow this channel. She is not like you. She's a good person.
Gubbah when do you see white women walking around in turbans or any kind of head wrap when white ppl racially profile against them, please take your ignorance elsewhere cause you sound dumb
If you will tuck a piece of tissue paper along the seam before you sew, it will keep the silk in place and the friction of the paper will keep it from being so slippery. When you're finished sewing, simply tear the tissue paper out. If it gives you a problem getting all the paper out, simply dampen the tissue paper slightly with a little water.
shut up!!! that's genius!!
I am going to try this tip thanks
Thanks for the tip! I have avoided silks because they are so hard to work with.
That's an awesome tip!
I appreciate that little shoutout. A few years ago someone "came out with" satin sleep bonnets and said she invented it 😐 When someone said no you didn't black women have been doing this forever she got mad lol. I wish I could wear this cute turban style but my hair won't have any of it. 😅
Yes, Yes, and Yes!!!!!! Thank you for pointing out the community that has always had a sleep bonnet!!!!! Been following you for a while now and I don't regret it!!!
Aisha Ex even my mom in the sixties would get her hair done once a week in a beehive and she wore a satin bonnet to sleep in.
thank you so much!
My hair won’t even pretend to fit under one of those 😝
That doesnt mean only black people started it lol.
When I first saw this pop up I got SO NERVOUS you weren't going to mention that black women have been doing this forever... very pleased that you did. Beautiful bonnet!!
of course. Gotta Give credit where credit is due :)
Same!! But she knows what’s up :)
Winter Wonder you keep trolling all the comments that mentions her giving credit where it’s due by trying to discredit where she got the idea from but you fail to do your due diligence. Although they look similar, there is OBVIOUSLY a difference between a cotton or wool sleep cap (what the Victorian women was wearing) used to keep your head warm and a silk or satin bonnet used to protect your hair. As Orly mentioned the concept for SILK BONNETS came from BLACK WOMEN...PERIOD!!!! You don’t have to like it but facts are facts.
Great job! I never made this style because I thought it was too complicated. Couple pro tips: 1. Instead of elastic, you can do a drawstring or do both. I do this because I get headaches easily, elastic wears out, and the bonnet can expand as my hair grows.
2. Wear your bonnet around the house. Hair rubbing on your clothes can cause breakage too. Also on windy days wear it until you get to your destination because wind can dry your hair out, and make it dirtier because of dust.
3. Make one for your daughter. You will be amazed at the lack of tangled in her hair!
I need this. My long silver hair gets dry and loses the curls. My puppy chews my hair, to tease me she will grab my braid and she messes with my hair when I sleep. I never see REAL silk just cheap fake satin bonnets, this is much better.
I was thinking the same thing! Elastic wears out so quickly (see showercaps & bra straps). Making it close with a drawstring/fabric tie is a great idea. My hair is normally insanely thick, but extremely thinned out rn due to severe breakage & constant knots in the back of my head from sleeping, and it's all the way down to my tailbone, so flexibility is key to comfortably fit all my hair. I also suffer from chronic migraines, and elastic leaves marks on the skin, even in headbands, so 100% people should consider a drawstring style closure instead that's made out of cotton string (like shoelaces/sweatpants waist string) or made from the same fabric as the bonnet, and knot on both ends once strung thru so it doesn't get stuck inside.
If made of fabric: cut a long piece at least 6-7" longer than the elastic so it can be tied comfortably, if using light fabric like this video, roll it 2-4 times depending on fabric thickness for durability, iron, then sew along the edges, or just use a thicker fabric that won't fray and/or add no sew on the parts that were cut to prevent fraying.
I also think there has to be a MUCH easier way to do this than making a pleated bonnet. I don't wanna be struggling to fit all my hair inside once it starts growing back, and that'b be a lot of work to make a new one, and I don't like having to guess the fabric length.
Great tips. Definitely going to go for a drawstring instead of an elastic 😁
Wow these are great tips! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
You had me scared - I was like pleaseeeee don’t act like this is an invention. And you did it right... really appreciate your attention to context and the imagery you used. The video’s content is also dope! Thanks for the care, Orly! I love your channel.
thank you for saying all that! xoxo
We know it isnt an invention, our white grandmas been using it too 🥱
And my grandma was from a rural area in europe where there was 0 black influence so don’t pull that card
@@hahalol6331 well you copied it from somewhere it certainly wasn’t from white culture , take your attitude elsewhere
@@hahalol6331 you are not a victim. grow up.
My Mother, Grandmother and other womenfolk I know have been sleeping in silk scarves, bonnets, caps and turbans for ages. I sleep in a silk turban and am due for a couple new ones so you have now given me a reason to whip them up this weekend. You made this look so incredibly easy. Thank you love and thank you for crediting this to Black women.
I remember my mum always wearing something like this to bed when I was a kid, in Australia, in the 60's and 70's. She would go to the hairdresser every Saturday morning for the classic "shampoo, set and comb up" and then sleep in the cap every night, to preserve the hair-do. The one she had was so old, it was part of her trousseau, in 1952...I suppose it's like everything, if you wait long enough, it'll come back into "fashion". I'm am old lady, I've seen a lot of things come and go, and come back again... :)
I really enjoy your videos, and look forward to waking up to them every Saturday morning :)) from upside-down-on-the-other-side-of-the-Pacific...
love that!
So beautiful you could wear it out on errands
Love all your diys🌹
As someone who just had to have a chunk of hair cut bc of a really bad mat, thank you! And thank you to black women! 🙌🏼❤
perfect, that's today's project. I've been saving a black silk skirt that is too small for me and now I know what to do with it. Great for gifts too. Thx
I appreciate you giving credit to black women! I've always loved your videos, but I definitely was concerned about this being a "new" thing. This makes me love your channel so much more!
Thank you so much. I did my research, wanted to be sure to handle it respectfully.
I love that you are self-taught, it gives me hope. My hair is breaking bad, I have to try this
That’s what I appreciate. Someone (you Orly😊) ... making something for everyone. Not just for a certain type of person. You are so creative and awesome. I am so sure that your audience has expanded because of this. More please. And thank you.
I was really afriad of culture appropiation because lets face it...this is a technique most black women do not many caucatians do it...but the way to explianed it and the way you give them credit for it makes me lve your channel even more! Greeting from a white gay male LOL
thank you!
I am not sure what is bad about cultural appropriation? The USA is sometimes called a melting pot. I certainly eat and cook from a lot of cultures. I use good ideas where ever they come from. Is that wrong? I am not trying to b e snarky, I just don't understand. My daughter likes to travel a lot and recently traveled with friends who were returning to their birthplace after 14 years. While in Eithiopia, she enjoyed wearing or using some traditional garmets, a "sheet" and a gabi. She still wears them here and her friend gave me a gabi which I enjoy. Is that wrong? I have some scottish ancestry. I have a genuine kilt from scotland and several tartans. Should only people with a certain percentage of a culture be allowed to where those items? I could go on and on about the things I have appropriated and style that have been appropriated. I would like to know why it is wrong.
Orly is so awesome for that end of story 😊
@Melanie Martinez is my waifu ._. how u sayin becky when u “stan” a white girl? You disrespectful little Shaniqua
Ok but she even showed that white people did it too look at her sources
i love love this bonnet, Thanks for sharing. Love all the way from Nigeria.
Thanks so much I’m bald I have alopecia and sometimes ,I don’t want to wear a wig or it’s to cold 🥶 to wear my baldness outside I live in Ohio 🥶 ... I’m going to put some jewels on mines .Thanks beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Victoryineverybattle I have Alopecia too! This is a wonderful idea to wear. I have many videos to help give tips to those with hair loss or hair issues. So many women do. My channel is Just my name Karen Lipman but regardless, I love this channel and just subscribed. 💌
My (Eurasian) mom had so many turbans. Not only for sleeping. She often wore them during the day too. Even in periods when they were not fashionable (there was a short period in the seventies I believe). Her hair was brittle and the turbans helped a lot.
Thanks for bringing back memories. I think I have to make a couple for myself.
It means so much to me that you are self-taught. I am also self-taught and I applied for a job as a seamstress and I was told I was passed over BECAUSE I was self-taught and the other 2 people that applied went to school for it. I am now really good friends with one of them and she is always asking me for help because I know more than she does because I have real world experience doing stuff instead of just a class and not doing it again. She tells me all the time she can't understand why she got the job and I didn't. But knowing what I know now, I don't want the job after all!
Orly, I'm a seamstress, and I have to say, you did an amazing job!!!!! the bonnet is gorgeous!!!
omg really!!!? thank you so much!!! I still have a lot to learn when it comes to clean finishing things properly but thank you!
I SO love this DIY! And acknowledging where this orginated was the cherry on top. Love your channel 💞
xoxo
Hey orly, I absolutely love your videos. No matter what it is, I just love DIY. Cant wait for Fridays to come and guess what todays that day!
I love your DIYs. I’m even thinking of making a video on your DIYs. You are an inspiration ❤️❤️
This works! This is the best turban video I've seen...
oh yay!! thank you!!
Great instructions. I used a silk blouse, the body for a pillow case and the sleeves for the turban/bonnet. So I had a seam on the fold, did French seam and put elastic instead of tucks/pleats at the back. Had hemmed a pair of yoga pants, used 21/2 inch cut off for the band instead of the electric at the bottom. Did not make tucks in the front, Used the cuff from the blouse sleeve, stitched it to the inside of the bonnet and sewed a button on out side at 8 inches up the center front, the button hole from the cuff buttons up on top of the bonnets over the bottom band.
When I think I can't love you any more you come through with amazing DIYs and and awareness. Thank you Orly! 🖤💋
Oh my gosh that's such a great tutorial! I made a sleep bonnet out of satin from a different video but it didn't turn out great and it is not flattering at all.
Now I just need to keep an eye out for a scarf when I'm thrit shopping.
I love that this was repurposed and upcycled! Brilliant. Thanks for posting.
Orly shani i totally love you ,i am new and im 45 years old but actually looks like 25 no kidding and the reason i mension my age is im such a huge "DIYER"all my life ,never thought i would find someone on you tube that inspires me .anyways I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE TURBANS SO MUCH BECUZ FUNNY BUT VERY recently
Great DIY Orly! For those watching who can't sew or don't want to destroy a silk scarf, definitely search "how to tie headscarf" and you'll get tons of vintage style tutorials on how to protect your hair, no-sew! That's what I do every night. It's also great to keep styled hair from moving or getting destroyed as you sleep, so you wake up with great hair! :)
I have noticed alot of black woman youtubers talking about this bonnet too. It's really a great idea.
Aside from the fact to grow/protect hair, think it is a great idea for bad hair days!
Excellent video! I've made several of these. I gave one to my mom, she loves hers. I gave one to my bestie and I have a few for myself, of course. Will probably be making these for my favorite ladies for Christmas or their bdays.
**FYI** If you plan to do this with French seams make sure to adjust your pattern to have at least an extra inch of seam allowance. I made my first one as per the video but I used French seams and the final product was a tad snug, so if you have thick hair or it goes down past the middle of your back, it probably won't fit.
I thank you so much for the simplicity and for sharing.
I have long hair so this just might do the trick in keeping my hair stronger & healthier
What a queen! I was so nervous you wouldn’t give credit to Black women! Glad you did! Their contributions to style and beauty are always overlooked! ❤️
xoxo
Simple is an understatement
Totally have been looking for this kind of tutorial. This would be so great under a tichel
Love, love, love! Thank you for this, I have been suffering with breakage and damaged hair and wanting a silk head wrap but was too cheap to buy one, very excited to make one now!
Thanks this great video this will be add to my bonnet business
Plz....
one on sequin fringe dress
Just finished making this!! Wearing it while i type this. First one of your tutorials I've made and I'm so glad i did! I have curly hair and this is the cutest bonnet I've ever had :) Thanks for such easy to follow instructions, giving me something to do while social distancing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this tutorial with such good measurements! I have just made it. I made it double layered. Thanks so much
Watching this in bed on a Sunday morning. Obviously wearing my bonnet.
These would make great gifts.
Orly! Gurrrrl! I love you!
Thanks for the natural hair love!
I’ve watched you for years, but this is the first time I’ve felt really connected.
oh well thank you, I'm glad you like this one :)
This came out very beautifully
Hi Orly, I was thinking about how I've missed y'all on H&F this week and low and behold you popped into my RUclips suggestions! I was thinking about getting a turban because I can't stand my hair being down when I sleep anymore. Thanks for this!
9:05 really good!! 🤩🤩
This is perfect for the cv as it can live in your hair. I will be using this for my work!!
Omg i was arguing with hubby about my pillowcase today and he was asking why i was taking it off i said cause is breaking my hair on the sides plus glasses and other stuff..so with that being said i just want to say thank you so freaking much..much love💜💖💕🙏
I love this. I've been buying these sleep caps for awhile. I use a CPAP and I found the straps rubbing my hair at night was causing breakage. This is great because I can now make my own caps out of nicer patterns. Thanks
thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you honey , I have been having Cancer treatment, my head is very sensitive. My hair is falling out. Does that turban make your head , very hot. I have a cpap machine, elastic straps, I think that would make it hurt less. Love watching your videos, you are amazing, thank you. I am a 61 year old grandma.
Im so sorry about your diagnosis, how are you feeling!?
If you use silk it shouldn’t get hot - but if you want to make something to protect your scalp you could make it in another fabric that’s softer on your skin!
I sleep every night with sleepmask and headphones ( big over the ear ones) and to me it seems like the turban would allow straps to glide a little easier over your skin to be easier to move if they start hurting...
Hope this helps and that you feel better 😘
The DIY Designer very tired all the time, chemo really knocks you for a sixer. Thank God only two more then radiation. Thank you , can’t wait for more videos, I really enjoy them , even a few times each. Xx
Sabina Hertzum thank you so much xx
rose fragale gosh I’m so sorry. My sister went through it, I feel for you. Sending lots of love and prayers your way. Xoxo
Lots of LOVE ♥️from INDIA
Urs DIY Makes me trending where ever I go
More power to you gal 😍🥰🤩
Hello, I attempted to do it, it took me so much longer. Most of it was fighting with the tension on the sewing machine and the silk slipping this way and that. I ended hand sewing the finishing touches, the little thingy holding the gathers up front. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions.
Omg this is the best diy. I was looking for the pattern and now I know how to make the whole thing. Thanks so much 🥰
Loooove this.
Hay Orly Shani please make a video about painting cloudy in boots 👢 it freaking awesome dude
THANK YOU so much for this tutorial.... I’ve been using bonnets for years, and always dreamed of a turban style, but just never felt I could invest ( and no one ever wanted to gift it to me, for Christmas or birthdays because they can’t see the reason behind it ) 5 minutes after a I watched this tutorial, I got out my sewing masculine ( edit ; sewing machine, but the first edition was too funny not to keep ;) )
found an old satin scarf I had on hand and made two.... now I just have to find the perfect thrifted silk scarf and I’m ready to make more!!!
yay!!!!
Was already a follower but that shoutout went a long way!!! Love you and your projects!!!
You might want to look into pineappling your hair inside the turban. Saves the ends and keeps volume too!
pineappling!!? oooh what's that!?
This is a BLESSING! Thank you so much for sharing, I would be lost without it! 💕 I’ve tried making it a few times, but it always ends up kinda wonky… gonna try following your instructions more precisely tomorrow:p
Thanks i will do a reversible version of it considering the extra fabric i will have left!
It seems that the silk side will work better it it touches directly my hair while sleeping 👍🥰
Nice and simple. Directions very easy to follow. Love ❤️ it
I appreciate the acknowledgement of where it started:)
you are great teacher
thankyou from japan
Ohh! I love this diy. I already have a few cute silk scarves that I can use for this.
I'm going to make my own right now! Super helpful, thank you 💖
Orly this is your best video yet. I love the practicality of this item. Thank you very much for making us this video. I am already a silk scarf wearer at night but I am super stoked to make this and give this version a try.
oh im so glad!
Thanks for this! Will do it.
I am trying to grow my hair and this i think will help!! Amazing as always Orly!!!
Loved this video, even though I'm a beginner i feel like i could follow this!!
Perfect for curly girls!! Going to look for a scarf!!
It's lovely
Thanks for this video. I love Fridays!!
Dude when you said "black women have been doing this for ever" I knew I had to subscribe.
I’ve been thinking that I’ve got to start doing something to fix my breakage then your post on insta showed up and I was like Orly to the rescue! 😍
Thank You , Thank You for providing credit to African American Women !!!! We wear these all the time and I appreciate the credit that you provided !!! Once Again, well explained and looks so effortless and easy to make... Great Channel !!!
thank you!
THANK YOU! We rarely get credit for ANYTHING! A Subbie FOREVER!
Thanks Tella!!!
Just shared to my Long Hair Community group on Facebook. Thank you Orly!!!
omg you're the best!! thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this DIY...loved it, as I do all your DIYs.... much love 💕
They are pleats! I have always wanted to make one of these, thanks.
So much work 😮
Thank youuuu!! Would love to see more multicultural videos like this. Divine.
Love this and your channel. I have the one with elastic at the bottom and a drawstring at the top (like a tube). Pineapples my hair and keeps it off the side of my face.
Happy Friday ❤️❤️
It’s pretty stylish for day too! Any tips on styling it, especially in ways that don’t look like appropriation?
Hey you rockin chick 🐥! Thanks for the great video . Helped me cheer me up from all this craziness going on in the US lately. Stay safe Orly !
What the difference between satin and silk fabrics? For some reason my hair has been breaking and falling out. It was doing really good after my total transition to natural hair. Stretch out it was at my bra band and all of a sudden just start becoming brittle and breaking and falling out. I tie my hair everyday and keep it tied til I have to leave the house. I could use several of these but I got a bit confused with the instructions so not sure I will be trying it. Your end result, looked really great. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you in the days to come.
Denise Oates - try going at it step
By step - I was a bit confused at first too but if you have the video to refer to as you make one it’s really easy - the you can watch a step more than once and that really helps!!!
I got one on now.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I definitely need to start making my own because I spent so much money on silk turbans and bonnets that just don't fit my cranium😒
You can use satin material as well!
Love your channel and you! Wedding season clothing DIY's please?? I am making the "Jimmy Choo" Bow shoes as my wedding shoe!
I've been trying to figure this out, but I'm making it with an old tshirt so my curls will set nicely.
when i saw the thumbnail, i knew this was gonna be a non-problematic video! indeed 👍
Hey girl just seeing this today, but I don't sew! Can you do a simple version that is no sew please!!!!!???💖💖💖👺😍💯 By the way, thank you si much for giving us Sistas credit for the silk scarf, bonnet, hat. Learned that from my Mom as a child!💖💖💖
You can also use high quality satin which I prefer for my bonnets
ahh thank you
love it
I learned from April, @coolirpa, that for pinning and/or sewing of silk(y)/stretchy fabric, you want rounded tips. I.E., ball point needles and pins, versusthe normal sharp ones. 😁
Gonna try to make this tonight! I've been seeing sooo much breakage and I'm hopeful that this can stop at least some of it. Have you noticed any change (good or bad) in your skin since wearing this?
