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.
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.
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! ❤
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.
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. 💌
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.
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🌹
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
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!
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.
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
I love your DIYs. I’m even thinking of making a video on your DIYs. You are an inspiration ❤️❤️
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! 🙌🏼❤
I SO love this DIY! And acknowledging where this orginated was the cherry on top. Love your channel 💞
xoxo
Can you just make me one pls and I'll pay you lmao
I love that you are self-taught, it gives me hope. My hair is breaking bad, I have to try this
Lots of LOVE ♥️from INDIA
Urs DIY Makes me trending where ever I go
More power to you gal 😍🥰🤩
Thanks this great video this will be add to my bonnet business
It’s strange to me that some people sleep on just ONE side ALL the time. I’m all over the place...side to side, sometimes on my back. Who knew it was a good thing! Lol!
Plz....
one on sequin fringe dress
@the diy designer. 1:12. You are awesome. Im so glad you gave a shout out to black women for something we have been doing since the age of dawn with our hair. I love your character.💜👍 "Real-ness". I want to poo-poo on cultural appropriation KimK🚫.
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!
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!
When I think I can't love you any more you come through with amazing DIYs and and awareness. Thank you Orly! 🖤💋
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!💖💖💖
Hay Orly Shani please make a video about painting cloudy in boots 👢 it freaking awesome dude
Special post . Nice 😍👍👈😍
Loooove this.
Sadly I don't know understand all of the process 🤔
Rhynn Jerkil - maybe do what i did - start the process by finding materials - then watch the bit with making a pattern, do that - then watch the next bit and fold and cut the scarf - then watch the next bit, and do that....
If you watch it bit by bit it’s easier to understand and do ;)
@@sabinahertzum9728 thanks a lot for yours advises
Is it still working for you and recommended, or have you designed something since this one? Thank you!
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.
And, white women have been doing it since 1400. Im using 1400 as a marker. . Afterwards there is proof that Queen Elizabeth 1 and all women in her court wore silk bonnets. Also in the courts of Louis XVI. All common folk from each century on wore cotton or wool.
I'm Jewish and we have been wrapping our hair for 3000 + years, it is a tradition. And, your title reads "( Turban Style)', well no group of people can be credited more with that style then Arabs.
Totally have been looking for this kind of tutorial. This would be so great under a tichel
Thanks for sharing!
White women had bonnets first sorry to burst y'alls bubble. And they had them first because they weren't btainwashed into washing their hair every day. It's hair care, not race. And you're welcome
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! :)
Hi.. big fan your videos dear🤩💕 I have request if you could show us the diy for jimmy choo suede clutch bag with feather tassel called as CALLIE in citrus colour. It has other variations also. Pls reply.
❤❤👍
Watching this in bed on a Sunday morning. Obviously wearing my bonnet.
So like your videos….Have you ever made a silk or silk lined beanie for cpap users which wear a headgear at night when the go to sleep..? I ordered one online and it was pitifully bad quality.. I’m in menopause and I get kinda hot at night so wearing anything on my head is bad enough.. however, wearing something that is not comfortable and will not stay in place is frustrating. Any advice? I saw your video You did for people that want to protect their long hair so it won’t break but I have very fine short hair… I would like to make something that will fit my needs… which boil down to protecting my hair… be made of silk and will stay in place without damaging my hair plus be very easy and comfortable to sleep in. The ones they sell do not keep your hair tucked in it and it tries to come out which will affect your head gear fit…. Turns into a constant sleep challenge!!! Help please!
You may want to modify this to update for healthcare workers (Covid-19). In my area workers are desperate for caps. But I fear we will soon also have demand for gowns soon
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.
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?
It's lovely
I wear a CPAP mask and the head bands on it is destroying my long hair and i refuse to cut it.
I want to make a nice silk bonnet to cover up my hair.
I looked at buying one o line until i seen your video. I'm going to try making my own.
Hey @Thediydesigner @orlyshani ...with the current issue in the world can you please do a diy on how to make clothe - like nose mask ....I stayed in Vietnam and they used that alot so can you please show how to do it. Thanks
I'd love to do this but I cant get anything to stay on my head, my hair is to slippery and the back of my head is the wrong shape, even elasticated hair bands don't stay on, they just slip off!
Joy Walsh same girl same. I just wear a traditional bonnet and it works. Depending on the style I may put a braid around the perimeter to help keep it in place. I learned that fuzzy socks help so I’ll put on my bonnet and tie a knee high fuzzy sock over the edge to keep it in place. The turban is cute but would never work for me. There’s not enough room for my hair.
You can make it larger to fit all your hair
So cool you gave credit to black women! Its so true, hair wrapping is historic and nothing new and a necessity for preserving styles and hair health!
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.
This works! This is the best turban video I've seen...
oh yay!! thank you!!
9:05 really good!! 🤩🤩
love it
THANK YOU! We rarely get credit for ANYTHING! A Subbie FOREVER!
Thanks Tella!!!
Nice pattern and tutorial, but french seams are a terrible suggestion. French seams end up to one side, and when you have to gather the front seam it results in terrible unevenness because the side the seam is on has muuuuch more fabric. And too late to do anything about it by then. :-(
I have noticed alot of black woman youtubers talking about this bonnet too. It's really a great idea.
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😒
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.
Dude when you said "black women have been doing this for ever" I knew I had to subscribe.
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!!!
Just imagining having a hot flash with silk on my head...😬😬😬😬
For the 2-color version, where you cut the pattern for the separate colors, you need to add a 1/2" seam allowance to that cut edge...just sayin' for inexperienced sewers.
yes thank you!
Or you just can wear it from behind as turkish farm girls wear it 😊
I thank you so much for the simplicity and for sharing.
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!
So in your materials did you use a silk scarf made from silk or something else like silky polyester?
This came out very beautifully
Ok Sandra Bullock vibes 🧐😍
What about if we want to do it tuo layer? I just got satin that is good soft in the one side and rough on the other...
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
Thank you for not culturally appropriating.
Alhamdulillah. bertutup juga rambut kau. Semoga kau dapat hidayah Allah.
I have long hair so this just might do the trick in keeping my hair stronger & healthier
I love that this was repurposed and upcycled! Brilliant. Thanks for posting.
Black women weren’t the only ones to do this you know?
These would make great gifts.
Love it. Are those the squeaky markers? Lol
Love your channel and you! Wedding season clothing DIY's please?? I am making the "Jimmy Choo" Bow shoes as my wedding shoe!
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. 😁
you are great teacher
thankyou from japan
I knew I love you when I subscribed.💖💕 You’re an awesome aly to the black community.
UR AW£SOM£!!! I LOVE IT!! THX😇👑🌺
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 !
YAY, FRIDAY. :D
Happy Friday ❤️❤️
You can make a top with the rest of the fabric.
Thx for shouting out the black women 👍🏼 love your video's very nice but I'm gonna have to buy mine ☹️
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
So glad that I found your channel and I definitely subscribed! I have a question about how to care/wash this head wrap- hand wash I am guessing but can you please let me know!
Thank you!
need more paterns plus sewing Videos
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💜💖💕🙏
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
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.
Is it possible to make a no sew version of this?
Was already a follower but that shoutout went a long way!!! Love you and your projects!!!
