| My son who is an older teen has curly hair that he's been trying to style so it's not always frizzy. He asked that I get him some kind of bonnet to sleep in, apparently that's what kids are doing these days. Does anyone here use these, is there a type that would work for a boy with short curly hair? (By short I mean it stands up, it doesn't hang low.) |

I have these and like them. Comfortable to sleep in and they stay on.

Awesome thank you. May I ask, how long is your hair and what type of curls do you have? |

Another vote for these, I have several. |

| One way to reduce frizz is to style hair soaking wet. YouTube has a series Manes by Mel that is awesome. |

Respectfully, this hat is way too thick for sleeping, he will wake up in the morning with a sweaty head. you need the satin part only, not the outer layer. https://www.amazon.com/Pieces-Bonnet-Sleeping-Elastic-Peacock/dp/B08BP6XBLQ/ref=sr_1_37?crid=2PGY2GI4HSSJO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WtT1sNFj8ONTp7IYHLq3vjsWIQY9mYuRd2698P8mRoE63udwknXeOncBOK_I3AQQ231OUMaDDG9PDXjhvxh37G5E5y8w4sW3YKKeXY-8WqrVhYS1qKrrwgB-5QTbMr9xUaRXODLvkviSLGculjT_mldmxs8rFIVskGkx6G9A7sVSkwRQeLGjckl_kMV6zD6QrL_i476VowLGuaDA31ztNks0dxtSwSSdqeO_oK4PKPNgyqgAs17ePz3joi4Y6FV5BUp_LZpYpdkIY1MOZL01zXfJlwkRkln0_gsd6eYj0PI.mBYfvQIO2xID96A12OAOI2DL19MCXfofpLClrDOpyLk&dib_tag=se&keywords=satin+sleep+cap&qid=1714848268&sprefix=satin+sleep+cap%2Caps%2C2616&sr=8-37 |

Respectfully, no self respecting teenage boy should go to bed in either of these. |

| Get him a silk pillowcase instead. It’s way more comfortable. |

+1 Silk/satin pillowcase
He might need product. The trick for a boy will be finding a curl cream that works well but doesn’t smell too fruity or flowery. DD (white, with large ringlet curls) no longer uses shampoo. Conditioner only. Seems gross in concept but it turns out she really doesn’t need shampoo — conditioner manages to clean without adding frizz. YMMV |

| I have super curly hair (think Shirley Temple) and recommend the pillowcase over a cap. I use a cap when traveling but my head is always hot and I'm just not a fan. Silk pillowcase is the best option. |

Silk/satin pillowcase
Continuous spray mist bottle - some curl cream or gel Every 1-2 weeks use a clarifying shampoo, wash sparingly otherwise |

| Plus one to the silk pillowcase. Ignore the PP that suggested going to bed with hair wet; that's a recipe for disaster. |

This is what my son wears as well. Yes, teenage boys with curly hair wear these. |

+1. Wet hair will curl all wrong. |
