Many individuals who have curly hair struggle with knotted and matted hair in the mornings.

This could be prevented by using the best pillowcases for curly hair.

Not only do the right pillowcases for curly hair help with your hair, but they are also great for the health of your skin.

Satin and Silk Pillowcases for Curly Hair

When it comes to the best pillowcases for curly hair, or for any hair, and skin for that matter, there are two options;

Silk – Silk is natural and can consist of pure Mulberry or pure Charmeuse silk. It has a very smooth and soft surface that does not chafe and irritate your skin and also does not grab your hair. Silk is naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic; it will also not absorb essential moisture from your hair and skin. Therefore, it is excellent for hair and also anti-aging for your skin.
Satin – Satin is very similar to silk in the feel and consistency. However, satin is synthetic and consists of polyester threads that are extremely fine. Satin has a smooth surface that does not dry out your hair and skin and also will not cause friction and grabbing of your hair. Satin is likewise much cheaper than natural silk.

Besides the right pillowcases, there are a few other tips I can help you with to preserve and keep your curls healthy and shiny;

Conditioning Spritzers – I like to use a conditioning spritzer on my and my daughter’s hair to easily comb out tangles and to add some needed moisture. Mix a leave-in conditioner or keratin conditioner with some water and spritz your hair when needed.
Silk and Satin Bonnets – You can always opt for a silk or satin bonnet or scarf to wrap your hair in before going to bed.
Twists and Braids – Generally, the more hair strands are rubbing against each other and your bedding, the more they are prone to damage. You can make simple twists using bobby pins or brains with small elastics to keep your hair secure.
Hair Pineapple – Use a satin scrunchie and tie your hair up in a “pineapple” at the top of your crown.

These tips are all ideal, yet investing in a silk or satin pillowcase truly will be the best defense and improvement for your curls.

Materials – The best materials in a pillowcase for curly hair are a natural silk such as mulberry silk or charmeuse silk. Synthetic satin can be used which consist of Polyester materials. The idea is to have a very soft an satiny surface that does not absorb or wick away moisture from your hair and skin.
Closure – As a closure, a zip, envelope, or button closure is usually predominant in silk and satin pillowcases.
Options – Silk and Satin Pillowcases for curly hair generally come in a variety of mostly solid colors and rarely prints. They are also available in standard, queen, and king-size size selections.
