Satin vs Silk Bonnets: Which Is Better for Your Hair?
Both reduce friction overnight. The difference is feel, price, and how they hold up over time.
Satin bonnets are affordable, smooth, and easy to wash. Silk bonnets feel cooler and softer, and many people find them more comfortable for all-night wear.
Either option beats sleeping on bare cotton, which can pull moisture from hair. Choose a bonnet with a comfortable elastic band that stays in place without leaving marks.
Wash regularly, check the elastic, and replace the bonnet when the lining feels rough or the band loosens.
