Why wear a silk night cap

Caring for curls while sleeping can be a difficult task. If you heard about the benefits of sleeping in a silk nightcap, you will find there are in fact many benefits of sleeping in a silk cap.

These include:
Hairstyle Maintenance
New Hair Growth
Fight the Frizz
Retaining Moisture
Even more surprising, I found that sleeping with a silk cap can actually save you time and money! Let’s dive right in shall we?


Hairstyle Maintenance

In a time when it is not uncommon to spend a significant amount of money on getting your hair professionally styled, the least you can do is maintain it for as long as possible. Sleeping with your perfectly styled tresses in a silk cap will keep them protected from tangles and damage all night long.


New Hair Growth

If you are having trouble growing your hair, you might not have to look much further than your pillow. Tossing and turning on a cotton pillowcase is a recipe for hair and cuticle damage. While one way to combat this is to choose a silk pillowcase, wearing a silk cap to bed at night prevents any abrasion. It also helps to keep your precious locks nourished and moisturized to promote healthy growth.


Fight the Frizz

Another benefit of sleeping in a silk cap is avoiding the dreaded f word…frizz!  When you sleep, your body becomes dehydrated which in turn causes your scalp to become dehydrated too. Dry scalps tend to produce natural oils at a much slower rate and without these natural oils, hair becomes dry and brittle. This essentially undoes all the work you put into your hair routine during the day.   If sleeping in a satin silk cap, The frizz will reduce to as much as 50%! The silk does an excellent job at wrapping curls, keeping in the absorption of the natural oils.


Retaining Moisture As mentioned above, symptoms of frizz are really your hair screaming out for hydration. Silk does not absorb water at the same rate as cotton does so moisture is actually retained within the cap. But even better, silk does not have the ability to absorb oil. How’s that for a fact? This means that you will retain the natural oils in your hair and your curls will not lose their bounce and longevity overnight. If you want to completely avoid the loss of moisture, also consider getting a silk pillowcase.
