Why Satin is Excellent for Curly Hair

Satin scrunchies. Satin pillowcases. Satin bonnets. Oh my! Have you hopped on the satin trend? This trend is here to stay because it works. If you want to have moisturized, bouncy, and soft curls you will want to consider using satin in your natural haircare journey. Let’s explore what satin is as well as three benefits of using it for your curly hair. 

What is Satin?

Satin is a synthetic or man-made version of silk. It is a shiny, smooth, and non-absorbant fabric. While both satin and silk are shiny and smooth, silk is more expensive and highly absorbent. This makes satin a better choice for curly hair. 

Satin Prevents Breakage

When you sleep, your curls rub against your pillow or sheets. Bedding is commonly made out of cotton. Cotton creates friction. This is not good news for curly hair because it can cause hair breakage. Unlike cotton, satin reduces hair breakage because its smooth texture does not create much friction. If you want to prevent breakage, use a satin pillowcase when you sleep. 

Reduce Frizz with Satin 

Not only does satin prevent breakage, it also reduces frizz. One of the easiest ways to do this is by covering your hair at night with a satin bonnet. This will help keep your hair style in place over night while also reducing frizz and split ends. As an added bonus, your hair will need to be styled less.

Satin Helps Hair Retain Moisture 

When you use a satin pillowcase or bonnet your hair also retains moisture. This is because the fabric acts as a natural protective barrier for your hair. It does not absorb or pull natural oils out of your curls. All the work you’ve done for your natural haircare routine will not be ruined while you sleep. Ultimately, this results in healthier hair. 

Final Thoughts

Satin prevents breakage, reduces frizz, promotes hydration and leaves your hair nourished rather than dry because it does not soak up your hair’s natural oils. Save time, money, and frustration simply by wearing a satin bonnet, sleeping on a satin pillowcase, or using satin scrunchies. Here’s to healthy hair, beauties.
