General info about silk
Why is silk healthy for skin and hair?
Silk in Curl Band and silk pillowcases
We produce all our Curl Bands and silk pillowcases in 100% mulberry silk. Mulberry silk is one of the healthiest types of silk. This type of silk contains over 18 amino acids and protein fibers that have a healthy effect on both hair and skin.
Benefits of silk
Silk has a wide range of benefits, which is why this material was chosen.
Silk has a smooth surface and can reduce any form of friction. This means silk helps prevent frizzy hair, which can potentially lead to split ends.
Another advantage of silk comes from its molecular structure. Unlike cotton, which is used in the “sock method,” silk's natural protein does not draw moisture from your hair. This means your hair stays hydrated and maintains the right amount of moisture. The right amount of moisture is a key factor in maintaining healthy hair.
Silk pillowcases are hypoallergenic
Besides being highly beneficial for hair, silk is also hypoallergenic. The fibers in silk naturally resist dust mites and other allergens.
