Unlock Healthier Hair While You Sleep
Would you believe us if we said you could improve your hair’s health while you sleep? As it turns out, part of the bedhead you wake up with can be thanks to the pillowcase you use. Here’s your sign to ditch the cotton pillowcase: beauty sleep starts with satin. But don’t take it from us—let’s break down the science behind it!
The Problem with Cotton Pillowcases
If you wake up with the kind of frizz that looks like you were tossing and turning and fighting against your alarm, there’s a chance you can blame that cotton pillowcase. (At least partially). Cotton tends to soak in moisture, which means that when you’re sleeping, your pillowcase is trapping in your hair’s natural oils (not to mention your skin’s oils, sweat, skincare products, haircare products… should we go on?) leaving it dry and vulnerable to overnight breakage. A nightmare, tbh.
Why Satin is a Game-Changer
Compare cotton to satin, though, and the results are muuuuch dreamier. Satin pillowcases are gentler on your hair and skin. If you toss and turn at night, there’s far less friction when it comes to satin, meaning your hair can smoothly glide across your pillowcase. Satin gives bedhead a whole new meaning—instead of waking up with frizz and tangles, it lets you wake up with shinier, smoother hair.

Want extra dreamy zZz’s? Some bonus pro-tips:
-
Tie your hair in a loose braid when you sleep for extra protection. Use a satin scrunchie instead of an elastic to avoid breakage. (Check out the Satin Scrunchies in our new Gimme Dreams collection!)
-
Never sleep with wet hair. Wet hair is more fragile and can break easily against your pillowcase.
-
Use dry shampoo to absorb excess oils and prevent tangling before bed. Check out our Lavender Renewal Dry Shampoo.
-
Brush your hair before bed to detangle and redistribute your hair’s natural oils. Take our Hair Quiz to find out which brush is best for your hair type.
