3 GOOD REASONS TO ADOPT A SATIN OR SILK PILLOWCASE
We tell you everything
1. Benefits on Hair
2. Benefits to the skin
3. Satin or Silk?
4. Pillowcase or Beanie?
Know, yes, it seems incredible that your best beauty accessory is not in your bathroom, it’s in your bed!
A satin or silk pillowcase has real benefits for our skin and hair.
To preserve your curls, blow-dry, twist-out or, keep fine lines away from your face ‘at the same time’, one of the simplest steps is to replace your cotton pillowcase with a satin or silk pillowcase.
The satin or silk pillowcase has been placed on the ‘Must-Have’ list, which is particularly recommended for textured hair and fragile skin, and is not just a fashion phenomenon.
A satin or silk pillowcase reduces friction on the hair and skin, it limits the knots and therefore breaks it. Besides the glamour side, there are real good reasons to adopt them in your turn.
Satin or silk, we tell you more about these luxurious touch cases.
1. THE BENEFITS OF THE SATIN PILLOWCASE FOR HAIR
Satin or silk pillowcases have a smooth and slippery surface, which reduces friction and tension. And for our fragile hair, less friction, less tension, it’s happiness!
Results:
Protection against frizz: Satin and silk are very smooth and do not attack the cuticle of the hair as would a cotton pillowcase.
Fewer knots: Cotton fibers cling to hair. If you change position frequently during sleep (or if you move a lot for other reasons 😊) Hair especially if it is thin or dry tends to get tangled. Those who have to undo fairy knots in the morning on waking will immediately understand the interest of the pillowcase in satin or silk.
Not having to brush to undo tangled hair limits manipulations, traction and CQFD promotes length retention and pulling.
Less risk of hair breakage, split ends, bald temples.
A 100% polyester heavy satin is called Silk Skin. Very durable, easy to maintain, it wrinkles very little and retains its color over washing
You can keep your satin pillowcase for a very long time! It is ideal for young children and teenagers. When they are older, they can switch on 100% natural mulberry silk satin as parents.
2. THE BENEFITS OF THE SATIN PILLOWCASE FOR YOUR SKIN
The slippery surface of silk and satin preserves the hydration of the skin and hair unlike that of cotton which tends to absorb it.
Less rubbing on the face so less fine lines and brighter skin.
Beneficial effect on acne. Silk covers complement acne treatments well. Rubbing cotton on acne-prone skin can worsen inflammation and pimples.
The softer and smoother surface of silk preserves fragile skins.
Unlike cotton, which absorbs sebum and moisture from the natural oil of your face and hair, silk and satin retains moisture.
3. SATIN OR SILK PILLOWCASE?
The satin or silk pillowcases are both presented as essential for beauty, capable of doing wonders on hair and skin.
But what’s the difference between silk and satin?
The price: A satin pillowcase will be cheaper than a silk pillowcase. The reason is simple; silk is a natural fiber whose manufacturing process requires a lot of work and time.
Silk is hypoallergenic and often considered cooler for sleeping
WHAT IS SATIN?
Satin, contrary to popular belief, is not a type of fabric but a method of weaving.
Satin can be made from several different fibres, so you can find woven satins in silk, rayon, polyester or mixed.
Change your pillowcase to wake up with smoother, brighter skin and shiny hair!
4. SATIN OR SATIN HAT?
Here are some pros and cons to help you decide which solution fits best into your night routine.
THE SATIN CAP
PERKS
It keeps the hair in place.
It reduces the frizz.
DISADVANTAGES
We are not going to lie, even if the current models are better thought out, the cap is not the most glamorous accessory.
Your hair cannot “breathe”. This is especially true in warm climates or in summer.
If you sweat a lot, this is also the case for your scalp and the bonnet prevents sweat from escaping.
For very thick hair, it can be difficult to fit all your hair in a satin beanie, even extra-large size.
It takes off at night sometimes at night and some of us inevitably find it in the morning either next to the pillow, on the ground, under the blanket but never on their buckles.

The satin or silk pillowcase is good for both your hair and your skin.

We did a good job, we can’t find it.
