Silk bonnet: the secret to gorgeous hair upon waking
Introduction
Imagine slipping into a cocoon of softness each night, where your hair is pampered, protected, and wakes up as radiant as when you went to bed. The silk bonnet is more than just an accessory; it's a nighttime hair care ritual that transforms your nights into true moments of regeneration.
The benefits of a silk bonnet for your hair
1. Preserves natural hydration
Unlike cotton, silk does not absorb your hair's natural oils. It therefore retains moisture, essential for soft and shiny hair.
This property is particularly beneficial for curly, frizzy or kinky hair, which tends to be drier.
2. Reduces frizz and knots
The smooth texture of silk limits friction between hair and the pillowcase .
This natural softness reduces breakage by preventing snags and prevents split ends on all hair textures.
Mulberry silk, composed of amino acids, strengthens the hair fiber and regulates humidity .
This natural fabric protects the scalp from irritation and prevents dry skin thanks to its soothing properties.
