Silk helps lock moisture in the hair

Cotton fibres are more porous than silk so they can absorb moisture from your hair. The smooth texture of the silk ­keeps skin and hair hydrated as the fibres are less absorbent. That makes them great for anymore with dry skin, flaky scalp, or dry and damaged hair.

What makes a silk pillowcase high quality?

Cotton measures their quality on fabric weight and you will hear them talking about thread count. Silk fabrics measure by momme (or 'mm'). When selecting you want to find a brand that has a 22 mom or higher. You can also look for brands that use Mulberry silk, which is like Egyptian cotton in silk.
