Whitening my hair four years ago left me to fight with hairstyles and dry locks. I tried everything from hydrating shampoos to those expensive repair treatments, but nothing gave me long -lasting results. While looking at as much as I could do to fight the problem, many people recommend sleeping on A. Silk pillow. Before this, I was sleeping on a cotton pad that left me with an intense bed head that requires just as intense brushing that it meant breaking and more frieze. Since I have 2a/2b waves and curls, it did it following my routine of wavy hair quite nonsense.
Although I was skeptical, I decided to try silk pillows. A cozy country sent me 100% of a silk cushion of mulberry (Currently not in stock) and here's what happened – complete with evidence of photos.
In front of the silk pillow
For the past few years I have been using 100% cotton pillows. Although I would not say that they provided the most luxurious experience, they do the job. However, I wake up every day with intertwined, hairstyle of hair lines and facial fabrics. This is complemented by the fact that I'm hot sleep, which adds to the chaos – especially since my cotton pillows are not cooled.
Following the routines of wavy hair, a post-law, I would use a balsam to leave or spray for a wave to wipe my hair, emphasizing my curls. I try not to use too much product because my hair is thin and fast to look greasy. After that, it dries and looks presentable. But then, I go to bed and wake up with this
This hair is intertwined to the point where it requires brushing (combing with your fingers will not work). I stay with a frie rifle without defined curls or waves in sight. This happened so often that I stopped doing my routine on the wavy hair post-tuti, because my bed is powerful enough to make the whole endeavor feel meaningless.
Silk pillows reduce friction and absorb how much moisture, which helps preserve hairstyles, maintain hair hydration and prevent tightening and breaking. Due to the gentle fabric, it is also said to be great for sensitive skin prone to acne-although it is not a one-stop shop for miracle. Given this information, I turned off my silk cotton cotton.
After the silk pillow
After resting my head on the pillow, I immediately felt the difference. The lack of friction made it easier for me to let my skin and hair through the case, while the fabric has a more cooling effect than cotton (perfect for hot sleep like me). Now, for a real test: sleeping with a silk pillow.
I loved to sleep with this fabric. It felt much colder and more luxurious than my cotton pillows. Plus, there were no remaining lines of fabrics on my skin. As for my hair, I did my routine on a wavy post-thuts, I went to bed and woke up like this
While my hair still became nicer overnight, it wasn't almost so intertwined and hairstyle as it is usually. I could still make more pronounced waves and small curls. Usually, when I wake up, my hair looks like it's angry at me, but this time, it just looked anxious. It was easier to comb with my fingers, which means that the hair brush was only a little necessary and, as a result, my frieze Pouf was reduced. My hair also felt softer to the touch and more hydrated.
The cushion of the cozy ground is made of 100% mulberry silk and treated with aloe vera.
Since silk pillows can be more expensive than cotton, I secretly hoped this experiment would not work. But on the basis of these results, I think it's worth worth silk pillows – especially if you are ready to take care of them to extend their lifespan.
These are the guidelines for Cozy Earth for his silk pillow: “The washer, cold iron, do not dry, mild detergent or hand washing delicate.” I have seen other brands that recommend gently treating your silk product gently at every turn by prioritizing your hand washing or using a gentle cycle of the washing machine with the item in a separate delinquency network laundry bag.
Again, I'm low maintenance: I used the washing machine with a mild detergent. The pattern of my apartment building has no gentle cycle, so I placed the pillow in a protective nets bag before washing it. Then, I left the air to dry flat and there were no problems.
Do I recommend a silk pillow?
If you are tired of the crib, sleep warm or hate wake up with lines of fabrics on your skin – and you have money for a sparing or a birthday wish list – I think it's worth a silk pillow. In general, I believe that any product that can improve your dream is worth it if you are ready to worry properly.

Before washing your silk pillow for the first time, make sure the brand has specific washing and drying instructions. Usually, you may notice a cleaning or machine to wash your silk pillow with cold water on a gentle cycle (no spin). It is best to avoid rough fabric softeners and whitening and to use mild detergents instead. You can dry the pillow or use a low -level dryer.

Silk pillows have the potential to help with acne prone skin. Thanks to their smooth, tightly woven material, they can reduce friction and irritation and prevent the creation of bacteria and excess oil production. Silk does not absorb so much moisture from the skin as materials as cotton, which helps keep the skin hydrated. Silk is also a natural hypoallergenic and regulatory temperature.
Like the rest of the bedding, regularly washing the silk pillow is necessary to remove the oil and dirt. However, it also depends on your skin. Generally, once a week is sufficient, but twice a week it may be better if you have overly oily skin. To extend the life of your silk pillow, decide to wash your hands or clean the spot with a mild detergent and allow it to hang dry.
Silk pillows have some potential disadvantages. The primary is the higher price, as silk is considered a luxurious material. Another is the special care requirements. Since silk is delicate, it can be easier to damage other materials like cotton, and not everyone wants a cool, slippery feeling of Silk. Finally there may be ethical worriesBecause real silk production involves silk worms.
