I wake up with healthy mermaid hair every time I sleep on this luxe silk pillowcase
Like most people, I stocked my first apartment post-college with affordable items: Amazon Basics kitchen pans, a funhouse mirror from the 99-cent store (IYKYK) and a sheet set that cost about as much as a large oat milk latte.
So, when I signed a lease with my fiancé for our very first apartment a few years later, I knew I wanted to elevate our home game. The first thing to go? Those cheap pillowcases caked in years of sweat and product buildup that would make my already-frizzy thick and wavy hair even more frizzy. This is where the slip Pure Silk pillowcase comes in.
I had obviously heard that sleeping with a silk pillowcase has a ton of beauty benefits (more on that down below), but I wasn’t prepared for how much joy a little piece of pure silk would bring me. Every morning I wake up refreshed with the flowiest, softest hair and most hydrated skin. Nary a frizz in sight!
The slip Silk Pillowcase is available in a wide variety of colors, including a coastal grandmother-y navy and neutral silver. Or you can lean all the way in with colors like pink, yellow and mint green. It comes in two sizes: standard/queen and king.
So, why am I obsessed with a silk pillowcase that’s $89? Well, the silk fibers of the pillowcase are significantly less absorbent and cause less friction than standard cotton pillowcases. The silk fibers help to keep your skin’s moisture balance in check and your delicate hair detangled.
Think about it: We (allegedly) spend eight hours on our pillowcases every night. Shouldn’t they at least be doing something for us? A clinical study by Wake Forest University also found that participants who slept on silk pillowcases had less acne than those who slept on standard cotton pillowcases.
Even if the above beauty benefits didn’t exist, I would still be a silk pillowcase evangelist — thanks to the instant shot of serotonin I get every time I rest my head to sleep. Not only does it look super fancy, but it also looks like I actually have my life together. Every morning when my alarm goes off, I swear the slip silk pillowcases whisper in my ear, “You got this, Sarah. Go get ’em.” “Thank you, and I love you,” I whisper back.
