Silk Benefits & Why It Works

Why should I bring silk into my haircare routine?

Silk's smooth texture helps reduce friction between your hair and your pillowcase . This minimizes frizz and tangles, making your hair more manageable and easier to style.

Silk fibers are less absorbent than cotton, meaning they do not strip your hair of its natural oils. This helps maintain your hair's moisture balance, preventing dryness and promoting a natural, healthy shine.

Due to its gentle surface, silk reduces the likelihood of hair breakage. Sleeping on silk pillowcases or using silk hair ties can help prevent split ends and overall hair damage, allowing your hair to grow longer and stronger.

Silk's smoothness helps preserve hairstyles overnight. Whether you have curls, waves, or a blowout, sleeping with silk helps maintain your style, reducing the need for daily heat styling and thus preventing heat damage.

Silk is also naturally hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or scalp conditions.

What is satin? What is the difference compared to silk?

Satin is a weave of a fabric, not a material itself. The material is man-made and fibers including polyester, nylon, and silk are used. Satin is shiny and has a dull back.

Along with being a manufactured fabric, rather than a natural one like silk, satin does not deliver the same benefits to scalp and hair as using silk.

Why Silk is a Better Material For Your Hair Compared to Satin?

Unlike Satin, Silk is a natural fiber produced by silkworms, making it hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin and hair. In contrast, most satin fabrics are made from synthetic fibers like polyester, which can cause irritation and are less breathable.
