Frequently Asked Questions
Many people think satin and silk are the same because both feel smooth. However, silk is made from natural protein fibers that help retain hair moisture while being breathable. Satin is often made from polyester, which is not breathable in the same way and can cause more friction, static electricity, and a damp scalp.
Yes. The silk lining protects the hair by reducing friction, retaining moisture, and minimizing hair breakage, frizz, and static electricity. This makes the balaclava ideal for both everyday and nighttime use.
Yes. The balaclava is suitable for curly, straight, wavy, thick, and fine hair. It is also good for extensions, braids, and protective hairstyles.
Yes. The exterior is soft and flexible, and the silk lining is temperature-regulating and breathable, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods without feeling heavy or warm.

Angora wool is an exclusive natural fiber that comes from angora rabbits. The fibers are known for their extraordinary softness, lightness, and insulating properties. Angora wool is significantly warmer than regular wool, while also feeling light and comfortable against the skin.
Angora wool has a natural ability to regulate temperature. It effectively retains heat in cold weather while feeling breathable and comfortable at the same time. The fibers are very fine and soft, making angora wool ideal for products worn close to the skin without itching or irritating.
At Cillouettes, we use only suppliers who work with ethical and responsible harvesting of angora wool. This means that the wool is collected gently, without force or pain to the animals, and in accordance with current animal welfare standards. The well-being of the animals is a prerequisite for quality – and for our values.
The angora wool in our products comes from suppliers who practice gentle collection through brushing or shearing of angora rabbits, often in connection with natural shedding. The suppliers follow applicable guidelines for animal welfare and responsible handling of the animals.
