Discover the SHOP for all your bedding needs here. Your hair health is crucial, especially considering most people spend a significant amount of time in bed. The 6-8 hours you sleep each night can greatly impact the condition of your hair. Opting for the right fabric can make all the difference—from reducing static and frizz to preventing breakage. That’s why professionals recommend sleeping on a silk pillowcase to elevate your “beauty sleep” experience.
Celebrity hairstylist Gina Rivera explains the many benefits of silk pillowcases for hair. The smooth silk fabric helps prevent tension on the hair, reducing the risk of breakage. Additionally, silk pillowcases are less abrasive, helping retain natural oils in the hair, keeping strands softer and more hydrated for longer. Rivera even suggests using a silk pillowcase post-chemical treatments like hair color or highlights for optimal care.
The benefits of silk pillowcases extend beyond hair care. They are also effective in maintaining hairstyles while you sleep, preventing “bedhead”, as well as helping you stretch out your washes by retaining moisture and reducing tangles. Silk pillowcases even enhance the effectiveness of overnight hair products like deep conditioners and masks, as they are less absorbent.
