Hair styling technique
Es un procedimiento que antiguamente utilizaban las mujeres para que su cabello luciera lacio. Lo enroscaban alrededor de su cabeza, sosteniéndolo con clips, y lo dejaban así hasta el día siguiente, y después lo fijaban con el secador. ¿Alguien conoce el equivalente en inglés? ¡Gracias!

"the wrap"
From your description, I think "the wrap" would fit. Here is some info.
The wrap is both a style and a maintenance technique whose popularity is spreading cross-country, and with good reason. With this versatile style, your hair, whatever its length, and providing your ends are blunt and your hair is healthy, can go from sleek to curvy or slightly voluminous. The wrap makes maintenance of relaxed hair a breeze. ***At night the hair is brushed around the head, secured with pins (if necessary), then tied with a silky, oblong scarf. In the morning, it's ready to go with easy combing and brushing.*** The wrap is less stressful to the hair and scalp than sleeping in rollers, and it's better than constant blow-drying and curling for maintaining the look of your cut.

imagino que el texto que provees es tu propia explicación; si tuviera delante el texto en el que aparece, te podría ayudar más, pero conozco muy bien el procedimiento!
