Frequently Asked Questions

What is a silk bonnet for?

It keeps your hair inside a smooth surface overnight instead of dragging against a pillow. People with curly, coily or long hair use one to keep a style intact for longer and to reduce the frizz that comes from friction while you move in your sleep.

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 does a similar job 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 is one of the more common reasons people buy one. A smooth surface disturbs a curl pattern less than a pillowcase does, because your hair stays gathered rather than being pulled in different directions.

Will it stop hair breakage?

We are not going to claim that. Less friction means less mechanical stress on hair, which is a fair reason to use one, but breakage has many causes and a bonnet addresses one of them.

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?

Silk does not trap heat the way a synthetic cap does. Most people find it unnoticeable once they are asleep.

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, cheaper, and hold more heat. 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 5 to 7 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 is one of the more popular small gifts we sell, usually alongside the eye mask.

Does it come with a bag?

It ships in our standard packaging.

How long does it last?

A year or two of nightly use is typical before the elastic softens. The silk itself lasts longer than the band does.

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.

Buying Guide

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. It is most useful for curly and coily hair, where friction disturbs the pattern and creates frizz, and for long hair that otherwise ends up tangled by morning.

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. That matters for heat as much as for feel: a synthetic cap traps warmth against your scalp, and silk does not.

What it will and will not do

Less friction means less mechanical stress on hair, which is a fair reason to wear one and is why people find a style holds longer. We are not going to tell you it stops breakage 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 does a similar job 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, and the band will give out long before the silk does. 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.
