What are bonnets made of?
The bonnet worn by women and children of African ancestry are made of Satin or Silk. Now you may ask, what’s the difference between a Satin and a Silk bonnet?
A Satin bonnet is made from synthetic fibres, usually nylon, rayon and polyester and as a result, is more affordable.
Silk bonnets on the other hand are made from silk fabric. Silk is a natural protein fiber produced by certain insect larvae, usually the mulberry silkworm from the genus Bombyx, and as a result, is more expensive.
Benefits of wearing a satin bonnet
If you’re looking for a fuss-free way to achieve your dream hair goals such as length, shine and strength then you’re on the right track. Here are 8 ways a satin bonnet can benefit you and your hair goals:
1. It prevents split-ends
Sleeping on your usual cotton sheet causes friction between your hair and the sheet, leading to split-ends. With a satin bonnet, your hair is protected from potential split ends.
2. It prevents frizz
Your regular cotton bedding absorbs much of your hair moisture making your hair become frizzy. A satin bonnet mitigates this, protecting your hair against frizz.
3. It prevents tangling
Wearing a satin bonnet prevents against frizz and split-ends, this in turn prevents against tangles and knots making your hair more manageable in the morning.
4. It prevents hair breakage
By preventing split-ends, frizz and tangles, satin bonnet also prevents the hair from breakage because split-ends, frizz and tangles leave the hair prone to breakage.
5. It keeps the hair hydrated
Satin bonnets help to keep the moisture in your hair intact by preventing your cotton sheets from absorbing all the moisture from your hair.
6. It protects your hairstyles
Whether you have braids, have your hair out loose or any other styles in between, satin bonnets go as far as maintaining your hairstyle beneath while you toss and turn freely in your sleep.
7. It makes your hair products work harder for you
Wearing a satin bonnet assures that the hair products you apply on your hair before going to sleep are working overtime for you keeping your hair conditioned, smooth and nourished rather than being absorbed by your cotton beddings.
8. It prevents facial breakouts
Without a satin bonnet, your hair oils and other hair products rub off on your pillowcase which is then transferred to your face. Some of these products contain ingredients that are comedogenic making your pillowcase a breeding ground for acne-causing concoction. A satin bonnet, while protecting your hair, also prevents these ingredients from your hair products from getting on your pillowcase, thereby preventing facial acne.
