Frequently Asked Questions
What is a silk bonnet for?
It holds your hair inside a smooth silk cap overnight instead of loose on a pillow. We make no hair claim for it beyond that.
Is it real silk?
Yes, mulberry silk, the same fibre as our pillowcases rather than a satin lining.
What size is it?
One size, with an elasticated band that gathers the fabric. It suits most adult head sizes and a good volume of hair.
Will it stay on all night?
For most people yes. If you have very short or very fine hair there is less for it to grip, and it can work loose.
Is the band tight?
It is firm enough to stay put and not so tight that it leaves a mark. If you find any elastic uncomfortable at the hairline, a silk pillowcase is an option with nothing on your head.
Can I use it on wet hair?
You can, though silk holds less moisture than cotton, so hair dries slowly inside one. Most people put it on when hair is dry or nearly dry.
Does it work for curly hair?
It fits over curly hair, and the elasticated band keeps it gathered. We make no hair care claim for it.
Will it stop hair breakage?
We are not going to claim that. Breakage has many causes, and we make no hair claim for this bonnet.
Does it help hair grow?
No. Nothing you put on the outside of your head makes hair grow, and anyone claiming otherwise is selling something.
Can I wear it with a silk pillowcase?
Yes, and plenty of people do. The bonnet keeps the hair together and the pillowcase handles anything that escapes.
How do I wash it?
Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach. Wash it more often than a pillowcase if you use leave-in products, because those collect inside it.
Can I tumble dry it?
On low, or better, let it air dry. High heat damages both the silk and the elastic.
Will the elastic go?
Eventually, as elastic does. Washing cold and drying away from heat is what makes it last.
What colours does it come in?
It ships in our standard colourway. Colour is not a selectable option on this product.
Is it good for children?
It is sized for adults. We do not sell a children's version, and a loose adult bonnet on a small child is not something we would recommend.
Does it get hot?
We make no temperature claim for it. It is silk throughout, with no synthetic lining.
Can I use it under a hijab or a wig?
People do use silk caps that way. It is not what the product is designed around, so fit is the thing to check.
How is it different from a satin cap?
Same idea, different fibre. Satin caps are usually polyester and cheaper. This is mulberry silk.
Will it flatten my hair?
It gathers hair rather than pressing it. A very structured style can still lose some volume overnight, which is true of anything you sleep in.
Can I get it embroidered?
Embroidery is offered as a separate add-on product, though it is better suited to flat items like pillowcases.
How much is delivery?
EUR 25 across Europe, free over EUR 75. Allow up to 7 working days for delivery after dispatch within 2 working days.
Can I return it?
Yes, 14 days from delivery to change your mind under EU consumer law, provided it is unused and in resaleable condition.
Can I return it if I have worn it?
A worn hair item is not resaleable, so change-of-mind returns need it unused. A fault or damage in transit is a separate matter and we will replace it.
Is it a good gift?
It makes a small gift, and it pairs with the eye mask.
Does it come with a bag?
It ships in our standard packaging.
How long does it last?
The elastic is the part that wears first. Wash it cold and keep it away from heat.
Does it smell of anything?
No. Silk arrives with no finish or fragrance on it.
Is it lined?
It is silk throughout rather than a synthetic shell with a silk lining, which is what a lot of cheaper bonnets are.
What if it does not fit?
Return it unused within 14 days. One size does not genuinely fit everyone and we would rather you sent it back than kept something uncomfortable.
Do you sell to salons?
Yes. There is a wholesale page and it is worth contacting us directly for quantities.

What it is for
A bonnet gathers your hair and keeps it inside a smooth surface all night,
rather than letting it drag across a pillow every time you turn over. That is
the whole idea.
Silk throughout, not a lined cap
A lot of bonnets are a polyester shell with a satin lining. This one is
mulberry silk all the way through, the same fibre as our pillowcases.
What it will and will not do
We are not going to tell you it stops breakage, protects hair or makes hair
grow. Nothing worn on the outside of your head makes hair grow, and breakage has
more causes than a pillow.
Fit, and the honest caveat
One size, with an elasticated band firm enough to stay on and loose enough
not to mark your hairline. It suits most adults and a decent volume of hair. If
your hair is very short or very fine there is less for it to hold onto and it
can work loose overnight, in which case a
silk pillowcase is an option with
nothing on your head. It is sized for adults, and we do not recommend an adult
bonnet on a small child.
Washing it
Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach, and air dry if you can.
Heat is what kills the elastic. If you use leave-in products, wash it more often than you would a
pillowcase, because everything you put in your hair ends up inside it.
