Until a few years ago, I had been using cotton pillowcases and not realizing the damage they caused to my hair. I would wake up with frizzy, tangled, and unruly hair every morning, not understanding the cause of it.
It wasn’t until I received a set of LilySilk pillowcases as a gift that I discovered the difference. The smooth silk fabric provided my hair with the care it needed, leaving me with less frizz, fewer tangles, and no more “bed head.”
This smooth and weighty pillowcase stands out for its durability. While we have not had any issues, some customers have been disappointed by LilySilk’s customer service, though.
The LilySilk pillowcase had a lustrous and weighty feel to it and came in various tones to match different bedding. What I appreciated most was its condition after the first wash: it became less slippery and more comfortable to sleep on.
Most importantly, it significantly improved the health and appearance of my curls, leaving them more hydrated and less prone to frizz. However, some customers have reported issues with LilySilk’s customer service, so it’s worth noting.
A quest for the perfect pillowcase
In my quest for the perfect pillowcase, I researched the qualities that make for a great silk pillowcase and compared various products. I focused on the type of silk used, the momme count, and the grade of silk, which all contribute to the quality of the pillowcase.
I learned that silk’s smooth structure helps retain moisture, making it suitable for maintaining hair health. After testing seven pillowcases, I found the top contenders to be LilySilk, Slip, and Fishers Finery, each offering standout features.
The runners-up
After testing several pillowcases, I found the LilySilk, Slip, and Fishers Finery to be the top contenders. Each of them offers exceptional features, making them highly suitable for different needs and preferences.
The Slip pillowcase is made of 22mm silk and offers a satin sheen, but its slippery feel and tendency to move around made it less preferable for me.
