General info about silk
Why is silk healthy for skin and hair?
Silk in Curl Band and silk pillowcases
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 fibers that have a healthy effect on both hair and skin.
Benefits of silk
The smooth and soft surface of silk reduces friction, which lowers the risk of frizzy hair and thus also split ends. Another important advantage lies in silk's natural molecular structure. Unlike cotton, silk does not draw moisture out of the hair. This means the hair retains its natural hydration and thus maintains the proper moisture balance. A stable moisture balance is crucial for healthy and strong hair.
Silk pillowcase cover – an allergy-friendly choice
Besides being extremely beneficial for the hair, silk is also a naturally allergy-friendly material. The silk fibers contain the protein sericin, which repels dust mites – one of the most common causes of allergic reactions in the home. Additionally, silk creates an environment where neither dust mites, mold, nor bacteria thrive very well. This makes the material ideal for people with allergies, asthma, or sensitive skin, as it reduces exposure to common allergens and ensures a cleaner sleeping environment.
