: Ok, kind of an odd question, but does anyone have any tips on saran
: wrapping hair. I have tried with my mom before and we just ending up
: wasting a bunch of the stuff.

I was thinking of posting on this subject myself! I've only done my
hair with cassia a couple of times, but I've had really good results
using the 'press & seal' kind of self-adhesive wrap -- it doesn't
stick to anything wet, so it won't hurt your hair. I use a piece long
enough to wrap from the nape of my neck around my hairline to the
center of my forehead and a few more inches, with the 'sticky side'
facing in. I stick those ends to each other and then press together
back toward the crown of my head. Since my hair's only shoulder
length, that covers it all; I imagine you could add another piece if
you needed to. Once the basic cap is set, I go back and arrange it
around my ears in a way that's comfortable. If you need to crimp it
back a bit there, it'll stick to itself. It will also stick very
slightly to clean skin, which is convenient. I've never found pulling
it off to be uncomfortable. I've never slept with it on, but the hat
I put over it while it's 'cooking' always stays clean.

Hope that helps!
