If you're having issues with your hair, you might want to get a new pillowcase. Trichologist Cheryl Bergamy told Byrdie that "cotton pillows or scarves absorb natural oils leaving hair dry and brittle." If you've had this problem, you might try a different material to sleep on. Hairstylist Bridgette Hill said, "Silk is beneficial to the hair because it is a breathable fabric allowing circulation and preventing the moisture from night sweats from getting trapped at the root of the hair. It also helps to minimize the friction between our hair fibers and cotton fabrics. The texture of the fabric helps to retain natural shine and freshly blown out and styled hair."
Interestingly, satin provides the same type of benefit for hair. "Satin is much more forgiving, as it moves with the hair, which reduces the friction between the hair fiber and the pillowcase or surface," Hill explained to Byrdie. However, there's one big difference between the materials — satin is typically more affordable and easier to clean. Ultimately, choosing between a silk or satin cover for your pillow comes down to how much money you want to spend and how much fuss you want to deal with when laundering it. If for some reason, you're not willing to part with your cotton pillowcase, Cosmopolitan suggested you use a silk or satin bonnet to cover your locks at night.
