Hey, my blessed naturals, Hair bonnets have been around for a long time, but satin caps and bonnets have gotten popular with the natural hair movement in the last few years.

Thank God!  Tonight, I wanted to talk about  my experience using natural hair, puff styles as low manipulation hairstyles.  Low manipulation hairstyles consist of any styles that will help minimize the amount of styling done to your hair. Basically, they help you keep your hands out of your hair, lol. Some naturalistas may consider styles like wash-n-go's, roller sets, twist-outs, braid outs, and buns as low manipulation styles. I have been using puff styles as my low manipulation style. At the beginning of the week, I usually braid or twist the front of my hair. I put the back in medium-sized twists.
