(Part 6) Best bedding sheets & pillowcases according to redditors

I really love these bedsheets found on amazon.

Dewalt cordless drills are on sale right now.

I've had these dress belts for a couple years and really like them.

This is the best thermos I've ever had. Use it daily.

I went to Travis's amazon wish list and this was on there.

I hope one day Double, and Travis can share this pillow

srs Amazon has cheaper silk pillowcases in the $30 range. Of course they are stained with the tears of factory workers, but other than that they are great.

I bought these for myself and my mom. They're fabulous.

These marker/pens are really nice and much cheaper on Amazon than in a store

Also I got a silk pillowcase, it's fantastic

And these boots are pretty nice

I'm a guy, but my hair used to look kind of like yours earlier in the year when I used ManeLine Premium Shampoo Alternative. The problem? Hydrolyzed Soy Protein. Some hair is protein sensitive and it can really make your hair look like trash.

Also, don't put too much product in your hair. I used to use SheaMoisture Shea Butter on my hair because it was all I had, but while it looked nice and shiny at first, it weighed my hair down and made it look stiff as straw a while afterwards. Same goes for showering. Heavily soaked hair throughout the day that doesn't get the chance to dry will end up stiff as well.

To fix it, I used a traditional ethnic natural bar soap (not the ordinary kind you find at Walmart) and pretty much scrubbed my hair silky clean for a fresh start. I let it sit for a while and washed it all off with moderately cold water. I then brushed it, which I probably should have used a wide toothed comb for instead, but it was tangled really bad. My hair was unbelievably weightless and looked like a lion's mane lol. After a few days, waves started forming again. However, don't let that deep wash be a part of your routine. It's only necessary to reboot your hair. Allow your hair to develop its natural oils after a few days, then clean it again. Scrunch your hair with your hands so it takes shape. Make sure you scrunch not only the bottom, but the top and sides as well to avoid flat roots. Be careful not to put too much pressure on your hair while doing this.

Next, I detangle my hair with a wide toothed comb and coil my strands with my fingers. My hair is longer than yours and I didn't do this when it was short. Tying my hair up in a towel was enough for me at the time. Also, because my hair is longer now, I have to frequently detangle it. I use a wide toothed comb once a week and comb with my fingers from there. Detangling gives it more volume too.

Also, do not use traditional towels and don't scrub your hair with them aggressively. They are really harsh on your hair and it looks terrible. Tie a microfiber towel on your head to let the hair take shape. Then after a while, let it air dry. I use https://www.amazon.com/DuraComfort-Essentials-Absorbent-Anti-Frizz-Microfiber/dp/B00YE3CPW0. Cotton t-shirts are okay, but they aren't very absorbent, so I don't use them as much anymore.

I sleep with a satin pillow case with my hair spread out above my head, but most recommend to tie their hair up in a bun or put a scarf over it. I use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6N6V94. I don't really know what it does, but I guess it maintain's the waves/curls.

Now, I don't put any product in my hair at all. I don't use conditioner either, but that's because I don't know what to choose. My hair is more straight/wavy with moderate curls at the ends. You'll be surprised at what a little splash of cold water and frequent scrunching can do for your hair as well. I just wish it was slightly more defined like Chris Cornell's. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/42/a4/f3/42a4f382dde6f6e06dd4d23581d9fbba.png.

Don't forget to eat healthy and get enough sleep! Drink plenty of water. It will show in your hair.

The lesson? Avoid protein in your products, don't over moisturize your hair, and don't be aggressive with your hair.

Just bought this one and I love it. Just upgraded from satin to silk and while I prefer sleeping on the satin, my hair and skin have been appreciating the silk.

Edit: formatting

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6QYVN0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jBO4DbDP9QM5T It was 5 dollars and I dig it.

Silk pillowcase!! I bought this one and love it! I had the same problem and can not I use a real difference when I use my silk pillowcase versus nights that I don’t.

Make a wishlist with this one (pick your color) and I'll get it for ya

Edit: just noticed that's not free shipping unless it's over 35 total, so pick any other ones around 20 or less that ship free and I'll help you out.

I have one of those pillows with the cooling gel which helps me a lot
https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Brands-Reversible-Memory-Standard/dp/B00MGLOX40/ref=sr_1_7?s=bedbath&ie=UTF8&qid=1497840698&sr=1-7&keywords=cooling+pillow

 

The heat totally does me in too.

 

Also, I tend to run cold water over my wrists (underside, where you can see the veins) or hold an ice cube between my wrists for a few seconds or as long as I can. It really helps even though for some it's just an old wives tale. Also putting a cold cloth on the back of your neck, groin area, and on top of your head is supposed to help.

 

If you can Percale sheets tend to stay cooler longer, they tend to be a bit expensive (around $60US) but I've had mine for 5+ years and they are still my favorite sheets https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Percale-Egyptian-Cotton-Comfortable/dp/B01LMDQ994

 

A strong (8000btu) window a.c. unit is helpful too, and sometimes you can find them on Craigslist.

 

I hope you find some relief

I bought it on Amazon. It's Everlasting Comfort 100% Waterproof Pillow Protector. This one's recommended by Amazon, though as long as its waterproof, I'm sure any protector would do fine.

I am a bit confused. You say hospital sheet, but then link to a 100$ California King Dark Blue sheet from BBaB?

Are you sure that's the right size? A CK bed is HUGE.


Here's one for under 15$ in grey if the colour isn't so off putting to you?. https://www.amazon.com/California-Microfiber-Soft-SALE-Wrinkle-Resistant/dp/B01LWEYF2N/


Maybe someone would find that a bit more reasonable for purchase?

ALASKA BEAR - Natural Silk Pillowcase, Hypoallergenic, 19 momme, 600 thread count 100 percent Mulberry Silk, Standard Size with hidden zipper(Teal) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JRG8EGY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_frgFzbW53F7DM

I have this silk pillowcase and I wash it once a week in the washing machine and dry it in the dryer and it's held up perfectly fine. Very durable, I'm actually about to buy another one so I can alternate and wash less frequently

I got this one. I mean I guess I can't be sure if it is really 100% silk but it seems like it? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I42C8W8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_UPTSBb66ZYA67

I get mine from Amazon and they have been going strong for years now. They are less than $22.

I forgot to give you the link of the pillow cases I was thinking about buying.

I'm thinking of embellishing some store/online-bought novelty pillowcases (like for square couch throw cushions) with a cute crocheted border. (I like the idea of personalizing an off-the-shelf item and also the contrast of a sort of surly statement on a pillowcase with a cute frilly border - like this https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JVWXEK0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.)
I've found some online tutorials but looking for more inspiration, tips, etc - does anyone do this? Anyone have any suggestions?

What about these? Paisley and microfiber, which is soft but can be hot to some people.

I bought this one last year and I love it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HUUAB3I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

What is considered high momme? I’m looking at this one and it says 19? https://www.amazon.com/ALASKA-BEAR-Pillowcase-Hypoallergenic-Mulberry/dp/B01JRG8FKO/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=15MOZQ5QSG3TC&keywords=silk%2Bpillowcase%2Bfor%2Bhair%2Band%2Bskin&qid=1550713944&s=gateway&sprefix=silk%2Bpill&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1
