Why do black girls sleep with a scarf on their head?

When I wake up, I just pick up my brush and comb it out. I'm done.

    I think some people do that because of the texture of their hair and when they’re relaxing their hair? Not sure.

    Had a mixed friend who would wear those on her head sometimes.

    1. Not all black girls do that.

    2. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE SAME HAIR AS YOU.

    3. This is racist. Stop and GOOGLE offensive questions if you are genuinely curious.

    Not all black girls do that. And if u must know the ones that do it use the scarf bc it protects their hair from breakage. I think ppl have a problem with the question bc one it does sound racist and ignorant and second you worded it horribly. It would of sounded better if you asked why do some black girls sleep with a scarf on their head? when you wrote "why do black girls sleep with a scarf on their head?" that sounds like you're assuming they all do. I'm half black and half of me would like to say i don't sleep with a scarf on my head either. Also im not trying to sound harsh or bitchy just letting you know how it sounds.

    It protects their hair from rubbing on pillowcases which can cause breakage or split ends, it causes friction.

    Are you being racist on purpose, or are you really this ignorant.
