About this collection

Silk and satin pillowcases protect curly hair overnight from cotton-pillow friction. Silk is the premium option (more durable, slightly cooler, hypoallergenic); satin is the affordable option (same friction-free surface, easier care). Either upgrade reduces overnight breakage, frizz, and moisture loss.

Silk vs satin comparison

Silk: natural fibre, premium price (£40-80), more durable, cooler on the face, naturally hypoallergenic. Satin: synthetic (polyester), affordable price (£10-25), washes easily in machine, equally effective for curl protection. Both provide the same friction-free surface.

Pillowcase vs bonnet

Pillowcase: doesn't restrict hair, good for type 2-3 sleepers, backup if bonnet slips. Bonnet: full coverage, good for type 4 and protective styles, can slip off. Best combination: bonnet + satin pillowcase (covers both scenarios overnight).
