A satin bonnet has been an essential part of nearly every black girl's beauty regimen since . . . well, forever. I remember getting my first head scarf from my mom, which was passed down from her mom. I still tie my hair up at night to this day — and have one in every colour and size, which I rotate depending on whether my hair is straight or curly [1]. And while there are tons of bonnets out there, not all of them are created equal. Some people might find a silk-textured headband or bandana more convenient to secure the hair along their edges. Others might prefer to gather all their hair [2] in a loose-fitted cap for comfort [3].
