Over the last few years I’ve got every single one of my friends and family hooked on silk pillowcases. After discovering the benefits of these pillowcases myself, I don’t think I’ve ever gone a night without sleeping on one (yes, I even bring my own silk pillowcase on holiday with me). They truly are that good. However, it’s not just because they’re comfortable. What I love about these pillowcases is actually how they benefit my skin and hair. Intrigued? I thought so.
I first invested in a silk pillowcase as I found I would go to bed with beautifully blow-dried hair but wake up with it literally all over the place. No matter if I used a hair mask the night before, I would always wake up to dry, messy hair that just wouldn’t behave the way I wanted it to. After reading a little bit about silk pillowcases and the benefits they can have for your hair, I decided to give one a go, and I’m not lying when I say my hair has never looked better.
I’ve also noticed a huge difference in my skin, so I reached out to Fi Stewart, founder of silk-pillowcase brand Slip, to find out exactly what a silk pillowcase can do for your hair and skin, and what to look for when shopping for one. Keep on scrolling for all the info…
