Everything you need to know about our silk nightcaps
1. Why wear a silk bonnet to sleep?
At night, our hair suffers from friction, breakage, and dehydration… A silk nightcap creates a protective cocoon that preserves the hair fiber , reduces frizz , and maintains the scalp's natural moisture. It's a simple step for soft, smooth mornings.
2. Is sleeping with a silk bonnet every night good for your hair?
Yes, absolutely. Mulberry silk is ideal for wearing them every night. Unlike cotton or polyester, it doesn't cause any pulling or excessive sweating. It's even suitable for sensitive or irritated scalps.
3. What are the advantages of a silk bonnet compared to satin?
Satin is a woven fabric , often made of polyester. Silk , on the other hand, is a natural fiber that is breathable, thermoregulating, and static-free. It truly respects curly, frizzy, straight, or fragile hair without weighing it down.
4. Can wearing a nightcap cause hair loss?
A poorly designed bonnet can indeed create tension or rub aggressively. NUITÉ® silk bonnets , on the other hand, are designed to glide smoothly over the hair , without damaging it or pulling on the roots. The result: less breakage, less hair loss .

Yes, and without compromising the health of your hair. Unlike most bonnets with a tight elastic band at the front — which can, in the long run, weaken the hairline — NUITÉ® silk bonnets are designed without a front band.

On the contrary, silk is thermoregulating : it allows the scalp to breathe, absorbs without saturating, and remains pleasant even in summer.

A silk nightcap , combined with gentle moisturizing treatments, reduces friction and strengthens the hair fiber. It's a valuable tip for those who want to stimulate growth and minimize breakage.

Synthetic satin can suffocate the scalp, cause sweating, or create frizz. It is not as kind to the hair as natural silk , which remains the gold standard for nighttime hair care.

Absolutely. The silk bonnet protects your hair overnight, but the silk pillowcase works in conjunction with it, especially if the bonnet slips slightly while you sleep. Together, they create a 100% silk, friction-free environment to preserve your hair's moisture and natural definition.
But its benefits don't stop there. Our pillowcases are infused with silver ions for a natural antibacterial effect that helps reduce blemishes. They also limit the formation of sleep creases and wrinkles , while offering a cool and thermoregulating surface , ideal for restful sleep and refreshed skin upon waking .
