The importance of bonnets? Well, if you’re a curly or coily girl you already know the answer. However, I would like to give you a friendly reminder. The benefits of wearing a silk or satin bonnet nightly include retaining natural moisture, stops breakage and protects against friction. If you have curly or coily hair it takes longer for the natural oils to reach the ends of your hair.
Therefore, utilizing a satin or silk bonnet will help with breakage and split ends. While maintaining moisture and protecting your style. Aside from being silk or satin a general rule of thumb is to make sure the bonnet is form fitting.
When it comes to which material is better it’s truly a personal preference. Silk is a luxurious natural protein fabric whereas satin is a cheaper weaving blended with synthetic fabrics. Both are hypoallergenic and breathable.
The environment along with other haircare habits can cause dryness. Keep in mind any hair type can use a bonnet to fight against breakage and split ends. Adding and/or understanding the importance of utilizing bonnets in your haircare routine is needed in regard to the overall appearance of your hair.
