Importance of Silk/Satin on Black Hair

What is your nightly routine before going to bed? 

Skincare? Check.

Hot shower or bath? Check.

Clean pajamas? Check.

Now what do you do with your hair? Are you protecting your hairstyle and edges with a silk or satin bonnet or pillowcase? You definitely should!

Silk and satin have several impressive properties that help benefit hair for all textures, styles, and curl patterns. Silk and satin are in high demand for hair protection products for nighttime slumber, regardless of which item you get in stores either is great for the overall look and health of your hair. 

One difference between silk and satin is silk being natural and satin is a weave like fabric composed of silk. The overall appearance of silk will be more shimmery and stronger than satin; satin will have a glossy surface with a dull back. Silk is often more expensive while satin is less expensive because of being made of synthetic fibers.  

Here are some great ways that silk and satin are great for your nighttime sleep routine:

-Avoid bedhead: Having a silk or satin head wrap or bonnet can help keep your hair in place while sleeping through the night. This will also help avoid getting your hair frizzy. Often, this will help reduce or prevent tangles, knotting, and split ends. 

-Keeps hair hydrated: Whether using silk or satin pillowcases, head wrap or bonnet while sleeping, silk or satin locks in oils and moisture into your hair and allows your scalp to breathe as well. 

-Protect hairstyles: Satin or silk head wraps or bonnets help keep the longevity of your hairstyle whether you have your hair straightened or even in braids. They also help hair stay clean as lint cannot get onto it.
