Why is silk beneficial for skin and hair?
Silk in Curl Bands and silk pillowcases
We produce all our Curl Bands and silk pillowcases from 100% mulberry silk. Mulberry silk is one of the healthiest forms of silk. This type of silk contains over 18 amino acids and protein fibers that have a beneficial effect on both hair and skin.

Benefits of silk
Silk's smooth and soft surface reduces friction, which lowers the risk of frizzy hair and, consequently, split ends. Another important benefit lies in silk's natural molecular structure. Unlike cotton, silk does not draw moisture out of the hair. This means that the hair retains its natural hydration and thus maintains the right moisture balance. A stable moisture balance is essential for healthy and strong hair.
Silk pillowcase - a hypoallergenic choice
In addition to being highly beneficial for hair, silk is also a naturally hypoallergenic material. Silk fibers contain the protein sericin, which repels dust mites - one of the most common causes of allergic reactions in the home. In addition, silk creates an environment in which dust mites, mold, and bacteria do not thrive. This makes the material ideal for people with allergies, asthma, or sensitive skin, as it reduces exposure to common allergens and ensures a cleaner sleeping environment.
