When my hair pass my shoulder, I always put it up, and wear a ponytail to bed. I don't like it long and lose.

Have you ever slept with curlers/rollers in your hair ? As a teenager, yes. Those of us past a certain age will remember Spoolies and those hard mesh plastic rollers that dug into your scalp. My stepsisters had thicker and curlier hair than I did, so they used orange juice cans.
