How important is the right pillowcase for my hair?

Did you know that your pillowcase could be affecting the health of your hair? We'll tell you and explain why a classic cotton cover can damage your hair. Every night we lay our head on our pillowcase for an average of 8 hours. Sometimes we move more, sometimes less. This exposes our hair and skin to hours of friction. So it is not surprising that this causes hair breakage and split ends. It's as if we rub our hair dry with a towel for hours after each wash. Everyone knows that this would put extreme strain on the hair. So why subject them to such stress at night?

Why silk is the best material

Experts recommend using a pillowcase made of silk. This is because silk is the fabric that is most similar to our hair. Due to the smooth and soft surface, hair and skin can easily slide over it without being irritated or damaged by friction.

Cotton, for example, tends to absorb moisture and thus dry out the hair and skin. Silk, on the other hand, is said to retain moisture content and thus ensure healthier hair and skin. If you suffer from allergies, you should also rather go for silk as it is hypoallergenic and have an antibacterial effect. This could also have a positive effect on the skin and scalp. Thus, irritations and impurities have less opportunity to arise. Many even report that hair lies better in the morning. And who doesn't want to go to sleep softly bedded and sure that tomorrow won't be a Bad Hair Day?
