General info about silk
Why is silk healthy for skin and hair?
Silk in Curl Band and silk pillowcase
We produce all our Curl Bands and silk pillowcases in 100% mulberry silk. Mulberry silk is one of the healthiest types of silk. This type of silk contains over 18 amino acids and protein fibres, which have a healthy effect on both hair and skin.
Advantages of silk
Silk has a wide range of advantages, which is why the choice has fallen on this particular material.
Silk has a soft surface and can reduce any kind of friction. This means that the silk counteracts frizz, which can potentially lead to split ends.
Another benefit of silk comes from its molecular structure. Silk's natural protein pulls - in contrast to cotton such as used by the "sock method" - not moisture from your hair. This means that your hair stays hydrated and thereby maintains the right amount of moisture. The right amount of moisture is a contributing factor in maintaining healthy hair.
The silk pillowcase is hypoallergenic
In addition to being extremely beneficial for the hair, silk is also hypoallergenic. The fibers in silk have a natural resistance to dust mites and other allergens.
