Scoot Up the Bed: Move your entire body upward so that your head is completely off the top of the mattress—hanging past the headboard or hanging off the very top edge of the bed. Support Your Neck Only: Slide a rolled-up towel or a small neck roll directly under your neck. This is what keeps your head floating. Let Your Head Tilt Back: Let your head tilt back into open space behind the bed. Check the Back: Because your head is completely off the mattress, the back of your curly hair is suspended in mid-air over the gap between the bed and the wall (or headboard). Nothing touches it.
