4 Key Benefits of Satin for your hair
One of the most beneficial things you can do to maintain the health of your hair is to cover it at night. Silk or Satin is recommended. Here are 4 reasons why:
1) Healthier Hair
When you cover your hair with satin, the fabric acts as a barrier against moisture-absorbing fabrics like cotton. This can prevent split ends caused by hair drying out. Your curls stay fresher longer and maintain the moisture produced by the natural oils or added hydration. As a result, you'll enjoy healthier hair.
Cotton pillowcases can be harsh on your hair, causing it to become dry and brittle. In contrast, satin is gentle and smooth, allowing your hair to glide over its surface without causing any damage. This is especially important for curly hair, which is prone to dryness and breakage. By using satin, you'll notice an improvement in your hair's health, shine, and overall appearance.
Result: Healthier Hair.
2) Prevents Breakage
Cotton and other fabrics typically used for sheets are moisture-absorbing and can cause friction when our curls rub against them. This leads to breakage, which is the last thing we want for our curls. We want our curls to grow, not break off. Satin prevents this from happening, along with a good hair care regimen.
The smooth surface of satin reduces friction between your hair and the pillow, which means less breakage. Friction can cause your hair cuticles to lift, making your hair more susceptible to damage. By sleeping on satin, you'll be protecting your hair from unnecessary stress and breakage, promoting healthier growth.
3) Neater Hairstyles
No more frizzy hair! And even when you have your hair in braids, cornrows, etc., satin is a smooth fabric that helps keep hair neat and in place. Get your young queen in the habit of covering her hair at night, and it will extend the length of time she keeps her hairstyle.
Frizz and bedhead are common issues for those with curly hair, but using satin can make a world of difference. The smooth texture of satin helps to reduce friction and maintain the shape of your curls, leaving you with neater hairstyles that last longer. This is particularly helpful for protective styles like cornrows, plaits and twists, which can quickly become messy if not properly cared for.
4) Saves you money
Healthier hair and longer-lasting hairstyles equal money savings overall. By investing in satin pillowcases or satin bonnets, you can save money on hair care products and trips to the salon. Having more time in between styles is also beneficial from a cost savings standpoint.
