For years I have been talking about how silk pillowcases are great for your skin and hair, but to be completely honest I never actually slept on one. Although it sounded like such a luxurious idea, I just never got around to buying one. I recently was at my weekly blow dry appointment, and the stylist was asking me details of how I wanted my curls etc. I told her it doesn’t really matter because when I wake up I have to fix it anyway. She asked me if I ever used a silk pillowcase and that they had some for sale. So I thought “why not?” While checking out, I told the receptionist “this is probably not going to work because my hair is very curly.” Although I was skeptical, I figured why not give it a shot, and that night I went to sleep on my white silk pillowcase. The next day, I have to say my hair was 80% better than how it would look if I slept on a regular cotton pillowcase. I couldn’t believe the difference! I feel like the reason it wasn’t 100% perfect was because I was a little warm in bed, but I think if I adjust the temperature I’m pretty sure my hair will stay the way it was styled. I can’t believe how long I waited to try this, but trust me go get yourself a silk pillow case, you deserve it because it also makes you feel like sleeping beauty!
