What I Didn’t Know About My Hair Until I Started Sleeping in Silk

I used to wake up with hair that looked like it had lived an entirely separate life overnight. Frizz, breakage, and crushed curls were my norm — even with a solid haircare routine. What I didn’t realise? The problem wasn’t the products. It was what happened after I used them.

The moment I swapped my old hair ties and cotton pillowcase for a pure silk sleep bonnet, everything changed. My hair felt protected. My styling lasted longer. And my morning routine finally became something close to manageable.

Why your nighttime routine matters more than you think

Hair breakage doesn’t just happen in the shower or at the salon. It happens silently, while we sleep — with rough cotton pillowcases, elastic hair ties, and uncovered curls all working against us. Especially in Australia’s dry or humid conditions, overnight protection matters more than ever.

That’s where a silk bonnet comes in. While satin might be a common entry point, nothing beats the breathability, temperature regulation, and pure luxury of 100% mulberry silk.

Who should wear a silk bonnet?

  • Anyone with curls, waves, or textured hair looking to reduce frizz and preserve definition
  • People with fine or thinning hair wanting to prevent breakage overnight
  • Those with scalp sensitivity — silk is naturally hypoallergenic and cool to the touch
  • Anyone using hair oils or masks — silk won’t soak up your products like cotton does

Even if your hair is straight or minimally styled, sleeping in silk can help prevent bedhead, reduce oil transfer, and keep your blowout fresher for longer.

A small ritual with big results

There’s something calming about putting on a silk bonnet before bed — like a quiet signal that you’re protecting not just your hair, but your time and energy. For many of our customers, it’s become a non-negotiable part of their self-care routine. And the results? Smoother mornings, healthier strands, and a whole lot less stress.

Because your curls, coils, and waves aren’t just beautiful — they’re worth protecting.
