1. A method of wrapping hair comprising: providing a hair wrap, wherein the hair wrap comprises a circular, first flexible tube having an interior side opposite an exterior side and a top side opposite a bottom side, and a second band extending laterally between a left side of the first flexible tube and a right side of the first flexible tube; placing the hair wrap on a user's head such that the first flexible tube surrounds the user's head proximate the hairline and the interior side of the first flexible tube covers a portion of the hair while other portions of the hair extend below the bottom side of the first flexible tube, and the second band is disposed along a crown portion of the user's head; separating a crown section of the user's hair; disposing the crown section posterior to the second band and anterior to a portion of the first flexible tube disposed at the back of the user's head; separating a first crown portion of hair from the crown section; twisting the first crown portion of hair; wrapping the first crown portion of hair at least 360 degrees transversely around the second band; separating a second crown portion of hair from the crown section; joining the first crown portion of hair and the second crown portion of hair; repeating the four immediately preceding steps of twisting, wrapping, separating and joining until all of the crown portions of hair have been wrapped around the second band; separating a first portion of hair, wherein the first portion of hair is disposed on the left anterior side of the user's head; twisting the first portion of hair; wrapping the first portion of hair at least 360 degrees around the first flexible tube in a clockwise, transverse direction such that the first portion of hair extends across the exterior side of the first flexible tube in an upward direction from the bottom side to the top side, extends in a downward direction from the top side to the bottom side across the interior side of the first flexible tube, and extends downward such that a remaining length of hair extends below the bottom side; separating a second portion of hair from the left side of the user's head and posterior to the first portion of hair; joining the first portion of hair and the second portion of hair; repeating the steps of twisting, wrapping, separating, and joining until all of the user's hair disposed left of a user's sagittal plane has been wrapped around the first flexible tube at least once; separating a third portion of hair from the right anterior side of the user's head; twisting the third portion of hair; wrapping the third portion of hair at least 360 degrees around the first flexible tube in a transverse, counter-clockwise direction such that the third portion of hair extends across the exterior side of the first flexible tube in an upward direction from the bottom side to the top side, extends in a downward direction from the top side to the bottom side across the interior side of the first flexible tube, and extends downward such that a remaining length of hair extends below the bottom side; separating a fourth portion of hair from the right side of the user's head and posterior to the third portion of hair; joining the third portion of hair and the fourth portion of hair; repeating the four immediately preceding steps of twisting, wrapping, separating, and joining until all of the user's hair disposed right of the sagittal plane has been wrapped around the first flexible tube at least once; and joining any hair not yet wrapped around the hair wrap and wrapping it around the hair wrap.
