Why You NEED a Silk Pillowcase
After posting my silk pillowcase on Instagram stories (mainly just to say that I was excited for the best time of the day: bedtime) I was really surprised by the number of questions I got in response. Many people wondered if silk pillowcases really did make a difference, was it what I’d consider a “haircare essential”, and did it cost me an arm and a leg. Well, I’m here to tell you: Yes, it improved my hair. Yes, it’s a beauty absolute essential. And no, it doesn’t have to be crazy expensive. In fact, the silk pillowcase I have is this one from Sally’s Beauty – and it only cost me $10!
Hello, Damaged Hair…
Years ago, I had a pretty major hair “whoopsie”. I had gone in for a few highlights and well, the hairstylist forgot I was there and left for her break and my hair got absolutely fried. I kept asking other stylists for help but they kept saying oh she’ll be back to check on you – until finally, someone realized that nope, she definitely wasn’t coming back. The bleach completely ruined my hair, I had to cut a bunch off and even after hacking off 4 inches my hair was still gummy and damaged. It was a nightmare.

Silk Pillowcase Benefits
– It will reduce hair breakage. Since silk pillowcases offer more slip, your hair won’t rub as much as you turn in your sleep which means you won’t tear and tug at your hair as much as you would with a typical cotton pillowcase. This will help prevent breakage.
– Your hair won’t be as tangled. Since your hair will slip more easily with a silk pillowcase, it won’t rub and get tangled as easily as it would with a normal pillowcase.
– They will make your blowouts/stylings last longer. Since your hair won’t rub and knot as you sleep, your freshly styled hair will be able to last longer.
– Silk pillowcases are also said to have skincare benefits and prevent wrinkles since they don’t cause as much friction as cotton pillowcases.
