My hair is almost BSL and while I'm super excited about that, I've been noticing a growing problem the longer my hair gets. At night, in the beginning of my journey, I would do a loose, low bun with my scarf and bonnet and had no issues. That worked til about APLish then I noticed breakage on one side of my head at my nape. Well, I stopped bunning my hair and just let the length hang loose in my bonnet (with a silk scarf still).
Now I'm running into another problem. While the loose length has taken care of the breakage at my ends, I've noticed I'm getting (what I think) is breakage toward the root of my nape. I have really, really short pieces of hair that were not there 2 months ago. About 2 inches or so in length. I suspect it's how I tie my hair up at night but I don't know what else to do
I can't cross wrap because of my layers (looks a hot mess) so now I'm leaning toward just getting a satin/silk pillowcase and forgoing the whole scarf/bonnet altogether? But a big part of me hesitates at that because I'm a rough sleeper. What if that causes more friction and more harm than good??
I'm really frustrated guys. I don't know what else to do. While it's pretty minor right now, I fear the longer my hair gets, the bigger problem this will become.
I guess I wanna know how other longer haired ladies secure their hair at night? If you don't use bonnets or scarves, what do you do? And if you do, have you had to make any adjustments in how you tie your hair up the longer your has gotten? TIA!

I assume you can get this from the BSS or even a department store? I've never really had reason to look so not really sure but figured I'd ask anyway, juuuuust in case I assume wrong haha
