These ladies are hilarious.
My hair is similar to Nikisha's and the pineapple thing (or, as I like to call it, the "Sideshow Bob") does work when I don't want to put a scarf on my head (and it helps retain length as some natural hair tends to shrink close to the scalp if you don't stretch it). I have used satin pillow cases in the past, but that caused my face to break out (long story), so I do rock a silk scarf. There's just no getting around it. Maintaining the hair can be complicated.
