Retaining Moisture: Silk
Yes, I’m back. I know it’s been some time since I’ve done a “Tip of The Month”. Mandisa has been on my case about it all week! Lol. I do apologize. Let’s jump right in to what I’ve come to talk about. I don’t know about you ladies, but I am so sick of my cotton pillow case soaking up all the moisture in my hair. Let alone it’s a total waste of product, time, & money! If your hair has a hard time retaining moisture, I would recommend investing in a silk scarf or bonnet. This will ensure that no moisture is escaping your luscious locks.
Although we love our warm soft cotton, its fibers are extremely absorbent. On the other hand a silk scarf acts as a barrier between your hair and the pillow. Ultimately preventing breakage and keeping moisture in your hair because of less friction and wonderful slip!
It also reduces tangles and knots (something that I struggle with). I am a wild sleeper. So if my hair isn’t protected in some fashion, I WILL wake up looking like Edward Scissorhands. The tossing & turning can lead to matting and tangles in the hair that can totally be avoided.
If wrapping your hair up at night isn’t necessarily your thing I totally understand! Some of us like to look pretty when we go to bed! Hahaha. A silk pillow case is right up your alley! & for those of us who like EXTRA protection just buy both!
