What does sleeping with a silk bonnet do?
A silk bonnet reduces rubbing between your hair and your pillow while you sleep. Many people with curly or textured hair use one to keep their curls and styles neat overnight.
A silk pillowcase can also help, but a sleep cap goes further by covering all your hair, which keeps rubbing to a minimum.
A bonnet also keeps any products you put on your hair before bed on your hair, not on your pillowcase.
Both silk and satin are smooth enough to do this job, but there are a few key differences between the materials:
Silk is a natural fibre made by the Bombyx mori silkworm. It feels soft and breathes well, so many people find it more comfortable.
Mulberry silk means the silkworms have been fed only mulberry leaves. It is often seen as the top grade of silk, but not all silk is mulberry silk.
Satin is a weave, usually made from polyester, though it can be made from other materials too. Synthetic satin is smooth, costs less and is tougher, as silk is delicate.
Satin bonnets still give a smooth surface for your hair. If you want a natural fibre, silk is the one to choose.
