What is your cotton pillowcase doing to your hair and skin?

What is your cotton pillowcase doing to your hair and skin?

Cotton, or even cotton-like fabrics, can work against your hair's natural needs. When you sleep on a cotton pillowcase, use a cotton bandana to secure your hair, or allow your hair to rub against a cotton shirt, moisture is absorbed by the cotton. The oils and moisture that your hair needs to stay hydrated are quickly soaked up, leaving your hair dry and brittle. This moisture loss can lead to breakage, especially in the ends of your hair.

 Additionally, the texture of cotton can cause snagging and pulling as you toss and turn during sleep. This constant friction can lead to hair damage and breakage, undoing all the hard work you put into styling and maintaining your hair.

 To counter these issues, many people have turned to silk protectants such as silk scarves, pillowcases, or bonnets. Silk provides a smooth and gentle surface for your hair to glide on, reducing friction and preventing tangles.

 By choosing a 100% mulberry silk pillowcase, you can experience the ultimate benefits of smooth and gentle protection for your hair. Say goodbye to the damaging effects of cotton and embrace the luxurious comfort and hair-saving properties of silk. Your hair will thank you for making this switch.
