Silk is a breathable fabric as the fibres allow air to flow through. This means that it helps you to stay cool in the summer. However, don’t be fooled, silk also helps to regulate temperature, making it a brilliant insulator too, meaning that you will stay warm in the colder weathers as well.
Hair can benefit from a silk hair wrap. Due to the smooth surface of the silk, there is less friction than your average hair wrap, or from laying your head directly onto a cotton pillowcase, so you’re less likely to wake up with frizzy ‘bed head’.
Silk is less absorbent than cotton, so any creams or lotions that you put on your hair will stay where you put it, rather than being soaked up by your pillowcase, meaning you can reap their benefits to their entirety.
