Protecting our natural hair at all costs is something we can now do in our sleep. With all the hard work, time, and love put into our hair; there should be a way to gently and securely guard our hair during our wildest and most unpredictable tosses and turns of the night. Our hair products should remain in our hair, and our hairstyles should survive a night of rest.
Is there a way to safely be a hair guardsman even while we sleep? Yes, and the solution is quick, easy, and so comfortable. Yes, comfortable! To quickly join the night watch, a job premised on hair guarding that requires little effort, swap out your regular pillowcase and opt for silk or satin fabrics to do the trick. The switch is something that beauty experts and hairstylists worldwide highly recommend to protect not only our hair but also our skin. Silk and satin are soft, less irritant, hypoallergenic, reduce friction and frizz, and less absorbent of sweat and products, leaving our curls and skin capable of retaining moisture. The slippery surface removes the tugging factor during sleep, allowing fewer chances of hair breakage and fewer skin wrinkles, helping your hairstyle last longer.
There are endless wins when changing your pillowcase to silk or satin. Whichever you pick, your hair will love you for it, and you’ll be able to rest well knowing the following day doesn’t have to be full of unexpected hair surprises!
Ebonnet’s pillowcases are made of satin and come in over twenty different styles with customization options. The satin fabric is smooth and soft, drastically lessens friction, and permits the hair to glide smoothly throughout the twists and turns of the night. The ease of satin promotes shinier, improved hair, cutting back frizz, undesirable fairy knots, tangles, and split ends. The benefits are a plus in maintaining and preserving curls, braids, coils, and kinks.
