Nightcap: What are the benefits?

Curly, frizzy, kinky or straight but very dry hair often tends to cling to fabrics such as cotton. During the night, repeated movements create friction between the hair and the pillow, which can lead to breakage. To maintain good hydration, nutrition and protection, even during sleep, this hair requires special attention.

A silk nightcap is an ideal solution for this. The one from Emily's Pillow, made entirely of silk, offers optimal protection by creating a barrier between the hair and the pillow (especially if the latter is not made of silk), thus avoiding friction responsible for damage.

The advantages of the silk night cap

The silk nightcap is a very popular accessory for both men and women. It is extremely useful in improving the quality of your hair. By wearing a silk cap, your hair becomes less brittle and knots are reduced, whether you have straight, frizzy or curly hair.

Silk will help preserve the moisture in your hair. The amino acids in silk help to retain moisture in your hair. It will therefore be shinier and less brittle.

If you are looking for a nightcap, here are the benefits of silk nightcap.

1 - Cheaper than the pillowcase

If you're looking to upgrade your hair with silk, but find pillowcases too expensive, consider the Emily's Pillow Silk Nightcap.

With the silk nightcap you will get the same effects on your hair as with the silk pillowcase.

2 - Sustainable over time

When you buy a silk night cap from Emily's Pillow, you can be sure that it will be durable over time so that you can use it for several years. This will allow you not to part with it too quickly.

3 - Transportable

When you want to take a trip, you can't always take your pillowcases with you. If you want to make sure you can enjoy the benefits of silk, it's important to make sure you have a nightcap that doesn't take up a lot of space.

You can use the Emily's Pillow pouch which comes directly with the silk bonnet, it will allow you to store it easily, and not have to worry about it. This will make your travel easier.

4 – Prevents hair from drying out

Using a silk night cap also helps prevent hair from drying out. Indeed, when you sleep, your hair is exposed to friction. This is why it is important to protect your hair well at night.

Cotton is a widely used material but it is not necessarily beneficial for the hair because it tends to dry it out and absorb sebum. The silk cap will prevent the hair from rubbing with the cotton and will help maintain hydration.

5 – Avoid knots

When you wear a silk nightcap, you can avoid getting tangles in your hair. This happens most often when sleeping on cotton, as this material promotes tangles and drying out of the hair.

Silk, with its smooth and soft surface, reduces friction and allows your hair to glide without tangling. The result: less time spent detangling your hair in the morning and less damage from repeated brushing. You will be able to enjoy smoother and silkier hair, without the inconvenience of knots.

6 - Allows curls to be maintained

One of the benefits of using a silk nightcap is that it helps keep your hair in place while you sleep. This prevents you from having hair that is a mess. It saves you time in the morning because your curls have not been damaged during the night, so they will be structured and defined when you wake up.

Your skin, hair and quality of sleep will thank you for this investment and the results will be seen from the first nights.

You will love them!
