- By keeping your coils from flattening, you may extend the life of your wash day results and create a healthier routine for washing your hair.
- Frizz and breakage of the hair are caused by rubbing against the pillow. One surefire approach to stop frizz is to comb hair up into a pineapple.
- Maintaining the health of natural hair requires preserving its natural oils and hydration. Using a pineapple technique aids in retaining moisture, and the effect is enhanced if you sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase or wear a hat or satin scarf on top.
- Pineappling your hair for the night will also help avoid knots, which is another benefit that will convince you not to skip it because detangling natural hair can be quite the ordeal.
Bending forward, gather your hair closer to the front of your head on top of your head to create a pineapple effect. To ensure that a pineapple holds its position without tugging on hair, loop the elastic or scrunchie simply once or twice. If it does, you can wake up with headaches and an ugly dent in your hair. Using a satin scrunchie, which can further reduce any breakage, is another useful tip.
Choose a pineapple bun if your hair is long, or a satin scarf if it’s short, and don’t use a scrunchie at all. It would be better to clip your curls on top before tying them into a silk scarf if your hair is shoulder length.
Best Pineapple Hairstyles
Pineapple may seem like only one haircut, but there are actually five distinct ways to style it to change things up. Check out my method and play around with accessories to create the most wearable protective hairstyle for any situation.
1. Pineapple Pony
The pineapple puff is my go-to hairstyle. It’s simple to accomplish: just gather your curls with an elastic hair tie or drawstring ponytail holder. To liven up the look, I do apply my go-to Mielle Organics edge gel to my edges and add a few accessories.
