Nightcap: why you should wear one every night?
Introduction
Every morning, the same observation: tangled hair, undone curls, untamable frizz.
What if the night was the real culprit? While you sleep, your hair rubs relentlessly against the pillow, losing its natural moisture and silently getting damaged.
In our last article, we saw how a silk pillowcase transforms curly hair from the moment you wake up — less frizz, more hydration, and restored shine.
But what if we went further today? There is an even more intimate gesture, designed to best protect the hair fiber: the nightcap .
In this article, let yourself be guided into the delicate world of the silk bonnet , this passive treatment that watches over your hair while you sleep — for smooth, silky mornings and curls full of life.
The nightcap: a protective ritual for your hair
Beneath its unassuming appearance, the nightcap is much more than a simple accessory: it's a silent care gesture that protects your hair while you sleep.
By reducing friction against the pillow, it preserves the natural shine of your hair, limits frizz, and soothes breakage.
Made from mulberry silk – a noble, soft, and breathable material – it acts like a second skin. Thanks to its natural proteins (fibroin and sericin), silk retains moisture , preserves your hair care products, and respects the delicate balance of curly, dry, or damaged hair . Satin, more affordable, is an alternative, although less breathable.
Knots when you wake up? Hair care product gone missing overnight? This nighttime cocoon envelops your hair, giving it the calm it deserves… and offering you peaceful mornings.
Silk, satin or cotton: which fabric for your nightcap?
When your hair lands on the pillow, the material that receives it changes everything.
Mulberry silk , satin or cotton: each fabric offers a different sensory experience… but not all provide the same care.
Silk , an exceptional natural fiber, envelops your hair in luxurious softness . Woven at 25 momme for a dense and silky feel, it respects moisture levels, reduces frizz, and promotes hair regeneration while you sleep.
Satin , which is more affordable, varies depending on its composition (silk, cotton, polyester). It remains soft to the touch and reduces friction, with results varying according to its quality.
Cotton , although ubiquitous, is not your hair's ally: it absorbs moisture and causes dryness and knots.

💡 Our advice
For optimal care and a true overnight hair transformation , opt for a natural silk nightcap . It's a beauty investment… that you'll feel the difference when you wake up.
A nightcap for every hair type
The beauty of your hair begins at night. Whatever your hair texture, a silk or satin nightcap becomes a custom-made protector , soft and silent.
Curly, frizzy, textured hair: a setting to preserve definition
Curls and frizzy textures are naturally more fragile. In contact with the pillow, they lose their shape, moisture, and shine.
By slipping your hair into a silk nightcap , you create a cocoon that maintains definition , limits frizz and prevents breakage .
Mulberry silk , thanks to fibroin and sericin, nourishes the fiber and respects the natural structure of each loop.
The result: defined, bouncy, light curls… ready to shine from the moment you wake up.
