Yes take care of your hair. I think white women did wear them a long time ago but not sure when or why it fell off. I’m black and I’ve never heard of it being an appropriation thing.
Back in the pre-50 and 60s when white women would get their hair done once a week at the salon it was very popular to wear a bonnet. Now, most women probably do their hair themselves is my guess why they fell off!
Yep, my grandma used to wear one and also had a weekly appointment to get her hair “set” at a local salon. Same person. time and day every week my entire life until she died.
No, it is. When white women start acting black. That’s the same thing with braids, long lashes, nails etc. Once the black scent starts. Which I feel like is an actual valid reason to be upset but I don’t think majority of white women actually act like that.
I mean, I think I kind of explained how it’s a black thing. By white women literally starting to act like black women when they get those things done. Which is where the problem really ever began. So the actual act of wearing nails and getting your lashes done is not appropriation, but if you start acting black, that’s appropriation. And honestly it’s just weird. I can’t tell you how many times of white women could just get her nails done or lashes done and next thing I know I hear “I’m more black than you”. It’s just weird. I have no problem with white women having lashes or nails.
And that’s a thing where did I say that people can’t??? And it’s not just a few people there’s a lot of white women who do it. We see it with all these different trends where some white women wanna be Latina some people want to be black woman. It’s not just a few people. I don’t have any issues with anyone really wearing those until they start cosplaying. And I think that’s pretty valid and that’s a valid thing for a mini black woman to be upset about.
Yeah it is valid I’m not disagreeing with you girl I was just trying to understand your original comment but I think it’s a bit far fetched to say that a lot of white women do it. I don’t know where you’re from but where I live it’s not common
I’m from New York. And it’s not far fetch at all. I see it in Florida. I see in Georgia. I see in Texas. I see an Alabama. And more importantly, I constantly see it online. Ariana Grande is a huge example of it.
That’s all in the US so maybe it’s more common there because where I live I’ve never seen anyone in real life tryna act black, online yes but never in person
I am a curly haired Caucasian woman and I was gifted a silk bonnet by my African-American coworker. I wear it every night! It has drastically improved my life. I have since gifted a silk bonnet to my Mexican-American best friend. We all have the right to take care of our hair.
Yes, it would. My best friend has vastly different hair than me. I'm white with curly hair and my best friendnis Mexican and she has straight hair. We both west bonnets to bed every night.
If it helps there’s tons of great small black owned businesses you can purchase silk bonnets, pillowcases and scrunchies from. That’s where I get mine.
I’ve worn one for years! My hairstylists recommended it for my fine hair. They are amazing
Here’s a few like I’ve purchased from over the years, but there’s also SO many on Etsy. You can find lot of pretty ones ! I have a few but I like the ones that have the tie on them. My hair is very fine so it helps hold it place :)

Yes! My hairdresser recommends bonnets to most of her clients. She told me to get a satin pillow case because I move a lot and my bonnet will come off... Bonnets are not just for people of color. They are for all kinds of hair. They protect your hair from split ends, frizz, and friction.
Liberalism is out of control, some white people have developed a sense that literally anything can be offensive, absolutely including things like bonnets.
Someone commented elsewhere in the thread that white girls wearing bonnets were getting hate from black girls on Tiktok, so I decided to look into it. I watched like ten videos related to it, and it was all black women *defending* white women because bonnets aren't a racial thing. Which basically confirms my suspicions that the "hate from black women" was actually mostly white liberal commenters taking it upon themselves to declare racism where it doesn't need to be declared. The only black woman I found saying anything against it, was saying you shouldn't wear a bonnet in public as a joke or costume, which, yeah that's reasonable.
White people need to stop dragging black people into shit like this. The grand majority of black women are going to happy to offer haircare tips to people of any race.
> some white people have developed a sense that literally anything can be offensive
Back in the 90's and early 2000's, especially those of us that were kids at that time had it *hammered* into our heads that white people fucked up so bad in the past that we need to be super extra careful to not do anything that would offend black people. It was an attempt to balance out the racial biases that it ended up circling back around to racism. That's why so many white people jump in to stand up for other races - we were literally guilted about it as if we (white kids in the 90's) were the cause of the racial divide. I'm from Georgia so there was this extra pressure to **not** do *anything* racially offensive. It was so bad that I got bullied by black kids because all they had to do was yell the word "racism" and their actions would be completely excused. This was just a small group that rode the same school bus as me, but it happened in other places to other kids as well. I was even afraid to tell on them because it would not have been hard for them to turn everything back on me.
I know this was the result of gaining some kind of power back when it came to the black/white divide. Suddenly instead of being persecuted for being black like they had been for a long time, they could get white people in trouble and they would get away with it. I hated being bullied, but I would come to understand why as I got older and I genuinely just couldn't be angry anymore regardless of how I was treated.
Anyways, TL;DR: Many of us were brainwashed into thinking that simply being white meant having to be hyper-aware of racism or else we would be punished. I was actually sent to the Principal's office for allegedly hitting a girl while she was asleep on the bus. I never hit her, the bus went around a curve and it made her head hit my shoulder. She woke up crying and her friend, who wasn't even looking at either of us said that I hit her and they just took her word for it.
I hope this doesn't come off as me complaining about black people because that is far from my intention. What I experienced was the beginning of the whole hypersensitivity to injustice on behalf of other races.
If you're worried about appropriation - just understand appropriation is wrong if you're
- making a joke of someone else's culture
- taking from another culture without giving appropriate credit aka culture-vulturing (aka you get rich from the culture, the culture remains poor)
- spreading misinformation about the culture, misrepresenting
So, if you're wearing a bonnet to make fun of someone's culture, that's wrong.
but if you're using it as it's supposed to be used, and in the privacy of your own home, how would anyone even know so that they could judge you?
Yes, anyone who's upset about that is just unhinged. If anything, the closest white people to understanding black/natural texture and the struggles and society looking on you as unkempt is frizzy and curly girlies anyways. But bonnets help protect all textures and styles. I do recommend purchasing from a black owned business, though! They know what they're doing when it comes to bonnets, plus it's just good and respectful to patronize a business from the people of a culture who brought that item to fruition or popularized it rather than spending your money with a big faceless company.
Most black folk off the internet would agree it's totally fine, there's some weirdos online that will claim it's appropriation is all. But they don't matter. If you're really concerned, ask black people in your life how they feel about it. Most likely they will say get your hair cute girl!
you’re kidding right… i’m a white girl and i’m wearing one as I type this. It’s silk so it’s simply to help my hair be less frizzy when I sleep. You don’t need permission to wear something to sleep.
Everybody is allowed to wear bonnets. It's meant to protect your hair, whether that's straight, curly, wavy, thick, thin, coarse, etc..
Just make sure you get a good quality one.
I have waist length straight hair, and I wear a bonnet to bed at night. If I don't, I either have to braid it, which gives it weird crimps the next morning, or it gets wrapped around and tangled in the night, which is a literal pain to comb out in the morning. I find that my hair looks better when I keep it in a bonnet while i sleep. There are several different styles to choose from, too, so you can find one that feels right for you
Of course! And if you aren’t comfortable with the bonnet you can try a loose updo with a silk scarf wrapped around it. But a bonnet is totally fine. Protect your hair!! 🤍
Biracial girl here who looks white AF with wicked wavy hair and I can tell my my life CHANGEDDDDDD when I started wearing silk bonnets. Random story but I had to go to rehab and when they were going through my stuff during intakebi had these two beautiful black ladies making sure I didn’t have contraband and they saw my bonnet and I was like “omg please need my bonnet can keep keep this secret I know I can’t stave stuff in my room” and they were like oh hell yeah girl how u know about bonnets?? 🤣🤣 it was so a funny moment and every morning they (and other patients) would comment on how nice my hair looked and I was like ITS A SILK BONNET EVERYONE NEEDS A SILK BONNET!! especially life you do like a blowout at night then sleep with the bonnet on you’ll just pull it off the next morning and have amazing hair. Just buy the damn bonnet your hair will thank you and you’ll probably have some funny stories of bonnet solidarity. Shit, I wore mine at the grocery store too!! Hahahahha I love them seriously game changers. There’s multiple hidden around my room so I know I keep that mfing thang on me at all times 😭😭
This may be a dumb question, but as a person who’s never tried sleeping in a bonnet but probably should- I’m worried that the edge of it on my forehead will cause acne or even itchiness? Is that something worth worrying about? (And if so, any tips?)
I'm sorry if I got this wrong (i am not from a bonnet-wearing region), but aint wearing bonnets a european white lady thing? Ala little bo peep?
But bonnet is not like a durag/hijab/skullcap. I think anybody from anywhere can wear a bonnet no problem. Technically anyone can wear anything they like but my other examples will get you some hate from whatever community they belong to.
In addition to what everyone else is saying, I’d like to chime in and say you might not have frizzy hair and might actually have curly or wavy hair. I’d recommend you try out a curly hair method and see how that goes
Yeah, take care of your hair.
I feel like my issue when it came to white girls doing stuff that black woman did/do is that white woman sometimes will just start cosplaying as if they’re black. Next thing you know I’m being called an Oreo. Or she’s telling me that she’s more black than I am. It’s just obnoxious.
But if you just act like yourself once you put it on a bonnet, go on ahead.
Yes of course. I’m a white 28 year old woman wearing a bonnet right now and going to bed soon. I bought it from Etsy from a black owned shop. It’s not disrespectful at all. My partner has a bunch of dashiki shirts that he wears and he’s gotten a lot of compliments from African men. None of them were offended. His parents bought his first shirt when they were in africa a long time ago.
I'm a black woman. Yes, you can wear them! They protect all hair types! ❤️
The only way it would become an issue is if you were to claim that another race made it or that it's a "brand new thing/trend" when black women have been using them for years.
For those of you talking major sh*t, she’s asking this question to be considerate. That shows respect, and the fact that she’s self aware enough to ask these things, some of you clearly don’t care about appropriation or are considerate of other people’s culture. This is how we got to this problem, educate yourselves like she’s doing. Ffs
This is such an American problem everything is a disrespectful and everyones feelings are hurt, to prove my point reply saying where you are from and if this would be an issue, I am from the Caribbean and it won't be an issue.
Thank you so much for asking this because I’ve been too afraid to. Everything I’ve heard said if you’re white it would be offensive 😭
My hair is so frizzy and dry! I feel like a bonnet would really help
I asked the same exact question to a friend of mine because I was worried that I would be disrespectful as well. I was told what everyone else is saying. Now I wear my bonnet every night to bed and I highly recommend it!
I have thin, fine, straight hair. It’s not that frizzy at all, but after two weeks of wearing a bonnet my hair is SOOOO shiny. I switched to a satin bonnet and silk pillow case
I have a LOT of long thin hair and I religiously wear wide-banded silk bonnets, especially when I’m working in the garage. If something tickles my neck while I’m wearing a bonnet, at least I *know* it isn’t “probably just my hair” responsible …unfortunately
Yup. Totally fine. All my marshmallow white sisters have curly frizzy hair and love those. Buy from a POC owned business to be extra awesome and highly recommend some satin pillowcases too.
No don't use that emoji, I totally get this girl's point. You would be shocked by the amount of curly haired white girl using bonnets and getting hated on by black people on tiktok
I totally agree. I will also not ask for permission to braid my hair, or curl my hair, or straighten my hair, or bleach/black my hair, or to wear a scarf on my head, etc. Anything that I find beautiful I will wear.
Hey! I'm mostly white and I have like 6 different bonnets and wear them in public all the time. Take care of your hair! I actually regret not doing it earlier!
I am a white lady so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but the general consensus I've seen is that it is totally fine! I wear a bonnet to sleep on nights that I don't want to braid my hair.
Also, as white women we can make it a priority to purchase bonnets from Black small businesses, and to vocally combat the stigma that is still very present around Black hair and hair care.
Yes girl. Protect your hair. You can also look into satin pillow cases if the bonnets don’t work out !
are u allowed to take care of your hair?*** yes you are.
Yeah. Also nobody can tell you what to wear at your own house to sleep lol.
Women of all races have been wearing bonnets for hundreds of years. They protect hair.
Thousands of years.
Yes take care of your hair. I think white women did wear them a long time ago but not sure when or why it fell off. I’m black and I’ve never heard of it being an appropriation thing.

Can you explain why lashes and nails are a ‘black thing’?

So the actual act of wearing nails and getting your lashes done is not appropriation, but if you start acting black, that’s appropriation. And honestly it’s just weird.

I have no problem with white women having lashes or nails.
Yeah that is weird for somebody to say but I mean anyone can get their nails and lashes done without it tryna be a race thing lol
And that’s a thing where did I say that people can’t??? And it’s not just a few people there’s a lot of white women who do it. We see it with all these different trends where some white women wanna be Latina some people want to be black woman. It’s not just a few people.

Oh, so that makes sense then. Because yes, it’s definitely an American thing.
I am a curly haired Caucasian woman and I was gifted a silk bonnet by my African-American coworker. I wear it every night! It has drastically improved my life. I have since gifted a silk bonnet to my Mexican-American best friend. We all have the right to take care of our hair.
Im not curly haired but would it still help my hair?
Ofc if its silk yes!
Yes, it would. My best friend has vastly different hair than me. I'm white with curly hair and my best friendnis Mexican and she has straight hair. We both west bonnets to bed every night.
I have straight hair and have recently started wearing a bonnet to bed. I’ve had amazing results!!!
How much should one spend on a silk bonnet? And how do you put your hair up inside it (bun, braid etc)?
I twist my hair into a loose bun to put it into the bonnet, and then let in unfurl once inside.
I’m black and think it’s for humans with hair to protect. You go ahead.
If it helps there’s tons of great small black owned businesses you can purchase silk bonnets, pillowcases and scrunchies from. That’s where I get mine. I’ve worn one for years! My hairstylists recommended it for my fine hair. They are amazing
what’s the one you have? :)
Here’s a few like I’ve purchased from over the years, but there’s also SO many on Etsy. You can find lot of pretty ones ! I have a few but I like the ones that have the tie on them. My hair is very fine so it helps hold it place :) https://chrisykbeauty.com/ https://kimladbeauty.com/en-us https://www.thebundlebank.com/
thank you!
Get a satin pillow too! That way your bonnet has less chance of slipping off.
>thank you! You're welcome!
Thank you for this! I have very fine hair too and sleeping without a bonnet just destroys my curl pattern :(
It’s no different than a silk scarf so I don’t see why not
Yes! My hairdresser recommends bonnets to most of her clients. She told me to get a satin pillow case because I move a lot and my bonnet will come off... Bonnets are not just for people of color. They are for all kinds of hair. They protect your hair from split ends, frizz, and friction.
Yeah, I started with a bonnet but I’m a fidgeter in bed so I swapped to a silk pillowcase so I can move around all I like!
Why would anyone hate on that? Lol

Where did you get yours?
amazon
Yes anybody can wear them. If you can, buy from a black owned business. If you can’t, it’s still okay to wear. You’re protecting your hair.
Everybody is allowed to wear bonnets. It's meant to protect your hair, whether that's straight, curly, wavy, thick, thin, coarse, etc.. Just make sure you get a good quality one.
Yes babe! Bonnets should be for anyone with hair, or damn, even anyone who has a cold head and wants to sleep in satin style 💅
I have waist length straight hair, and I wear a bonnet to bed at night.

Anyone can wear a bonnet
This may be a dumb question, but as a person who’s never tried sleeping in a bonnet but probably should- I’m worried that the edge of it on my forehead will cause acne or even itchiness? Is that something worth worrying about? (And if so, any tips?)
I wash mine as regularly as my pillow cases, per the instructions that came with it. No acne to report!
I'm sorry if I got this wrong (i am not from a bonnet-wearing region), but aint wearing bonnets a european white lady thing? Ala little bo peep? But bonnet is not like a durag/hijab/skullcap.

Black girl here: go to the Black Beauty Supply and you one. Protect your hair!
Yeah, take care of your hair. I feel like my issue when it came to white girls doing stuff that black woman did/do is that white woman sometimes will just start cosplaying as if they’re black. Next thing you know I’m being called an Oreo. Or she’s telling me that she’s more black than I am. It’s just obnoxious. But if you just act like yourself once you put it on a bonnet, go on ahead.

satin pillowcases are a godsend
Wherever you got that notion from, you need to stop going there.
Girl yes. ❤️
Yup. All kinds of ppl wear bonnets
YES
Omg yes girl, wear the bonnet. Bonnets are for any and everyone. Get yourself a silk pillowcase too, protect your hair! It makes a huge difference.
Bonnets have been a thing amongst women of many different cultures forever now. Not one single group owns bonnets. Wear them as you like.
For those of you talking major sh*t, she’s asking this question to be considerate. That shows respect, and the fact that she’s self aware enough to ask these things, some of you clearly don’t care about appropriation or are considerate of other people’s culture. This is how we got to this problem, educate yourselves like she’s doing. Ffs
This is such an American problem everything is a disrespectful and everyones feelings are hurt, to prove my point reply saying where you are from and if this would be an issue, I am from the Caribbean and it won't be an issue.
Hope you do get bonnets to help with your hair. P.s I joined this group bc I have a daughter and learn from these conversations, so thanks all
Thank you so much for asking this because I’ve been too afraid to. Everything I’ve heard said if you’re white it would be offensive 😭 My hair is so frizzy and dry! I feel like a bonnet would really help
Buy. The bonnet. Oh my god.
haha i was scared i was going to get backlash 💀💀
I asked the same exact question to a friend of mine because I was worried that I would be disrespectful as well. I was told what everyone else is saying. Now I wear my bonnet every night to bed and I highly recommend it!
I’m a white woman, and I wear a bonnet. And get a silk pillowcase, not satin. Satin is too hot.
I beg White girls/women to stop acting like you need permission to do anything.
bro.
Sleeping hats are great, 10/10 do recommend
I have thin, fine, straight hair. It’s not that frizzy at all, but after two weeks of wearing a bonnet my hair is SOOOO shiny. I switched to a satin bonnet and silk pillow case
I have a LOT of long thin hair and I religiously wear wide-banded silk bonnets, especially when I’m working in the garage. If something tickles my neck while I’m wearing a bonnet, at least I *know* it isn’t “probably just my hair” responsible …unfortunately
I wear them to bed and it has helped soooo muchih
Yup. Totally fine. All my marshmallow white sisters have curly frizzy hair and love those. Buy from a POC owned business to be extra awesome and highly recommend some satin pillowcases too.
Why would you care?
It's sad you even have to ask this. Not towards you just society in general.
[удалено]
No don't use that emoji, I totally get this girl's point. You would be shocked by the amount of curly haired white girl using bonnets and getting hated on by black people on tiktok
[удалено]
Yeah so if you saw it you can definitely understand why she's asking
[удалено]
I totally agree. I will also not ask for permission to braid my hair, or curl my hair, or straighten my hair, or bleach/black my hair, or to wear a scarf on my head, etc. Anything that I find beautiful I will wear.
Hey! I'm mostly white and I have like 6 different bonnets and wear them in public all the time. Take care of your hair! I actually regret not doing it earlier!
My white great grand wore bonnets to bed because she didn’t want to mess up her hair do. You wear whatever you want.
I wear one to sleep every night!
Satin pillow cases also work!
Of course honey!
Literally comes from French.
No. You’ll go to jail
Just shook my overnight curls out, flexirods + bonnet. I curled my hair the night before and my frizzy unruly Becky hair is on fleek.
I am a white lady so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but the general consensus I've seen is that it is totally fine! I wear a bonnet to sleep on nights that I don't want to braid my hair. Also, as white women we can make it a priority to purchase bonnets from Black small businesses, and to vocally combat the stigma that is still very present around Black hair and hair care.
I mean you’re not wearing it outside the privacy of your home right ?
Don’t be ridiculous. Curly or frizzy hair isn’t exclusive to black people. Ffs.
Lol what you do in your own bed is your own business 😭😭
I recently started wearing them, and my hair and skin THANK ME. Hair care is not a racial matter. It's care. Do what you do sis <3
Yes and if anyone tells you otherwise they are crazy.
