During
the initial part of my healthy hair journey, I sought out products and methods that
would benefit my hair and its health. One
of the methods I discovered was sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase
and/or using a satin or silk head scarf.
During this journey even if I didn't use my satin head scarf, I would
always sleep on a satin pillowcase. I often used the
terms "silk" and "satin" interchangeably,
although I knew there was a difference.
It was during my journey that I discovered that many of the products
I had incorporated into my hair regimen were also beneficial to my face, nails,
& body. One in particular was that
for the same reason sleeping on satin or silk was good for my hair, it is
also good for my facial skin. Sleeping
on cotton-based pillow cases pulls the moisture out of your hair leaving it dry. The same goes for sleeping on a cotton-based pillow
case and it pulling the moisture out of your facial skin. We've all awakened with those "sleep creases"
that take forever to plump up and go away.
And as I get older, I am constantly looking for products to fight the
signs of aging. I was recently given the
opportunity to try a LovaSilk 100% Silk pillowcase.
This lead me to research what, if any, are the difference between silk
and satin? I learned that silk is a
natural fiber whereas, satin is a method of weaving the man-made fibers. Also,
that silk is more durable than satin. Silk
has a shimmering appearance, whereas, satin is glossy.
So what are the benefits of sleeping on 100% Silk?
·
It helps to keep your
face healthy. Your face has more contact with your pillowcase than any
other fabric. So, if you want to keep your face looking refreshed, your choice
in pillowcase is very important. · Helps your skin retain moisture. With one of the lowest absorption rates of any fabric on the market, sleeping on silk is one of the best options for helping your skin maintain its natural moisture. Save money on expensive moisturizing creams by retaining more moisture in your face to begin with, by sleeping on silk pillowcases.
· It’s naturally hypoallergenic. Some of silk’s hypoallergenic properties include a natural resistance to dust mites, fungus and mold, in addition to many other allergens.
· Silk has amino acids in common with your skin and hair. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase will help your skin stay healthy and smooth while reducing facial wrinkles. If you’re only going to invest in one piece of silk bedding to start with, the silk pillowcase provides a lot of benefit for the cost.
· Reduces bed head and split ends. Are you tired of waking up in the morning and having hair that looks like you just stuck your finger in a socket? Sleeping on luxury silk pillowcases will help keep that bed head under control. And since silk has so many amino acids in common with your hair, it will help reduce damage, like spilt ends, as well. For your hair, it truly does pay to sleep on a silk pillowcase.
If you have followed my blog or followed me on Twitter or
Facebook, you know that one of my favorite past-times is taking Sunday afternoon naps.
So you can imagine my excitement when this opportunity presented itself. I was
able to review a product that will benefit both my hair and skin, all while
napping. Other than testing
Chocolate, what could be better? LOL!
So once I woke up, what were my experiences using my LovaSilk 100% Pillowcase?
First Impressions:
· I remember the first time I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria New York. At that point, those were the most luxurious sheets I had ever slept on. After sleeping on this LovaSilk 100% Silk Pillowcase, I now had a new standard for Luxury.
· Living in Florida, the tempature of your home can change drastically
throughout the night. These LovaSilk 100% Silk pillowcases, helped to regulate my body tempature. I can't wait to see how they react during our hot summers.
· On those occassions, that I had fallen asleep on a cotton pillow, may hair paid dearly; dry, frizzy, and often tangled. However, with this LovaSilk 100% Silk pillowcase, without my scarf, my hair remained moisturized, and smooth.
· I am fighting a battle against aging, and sleeping on a 100% silk pillowcase has been beneficial. I have not experienced any of those nasty face "sleep creases".

Fabric playa a very importance role in terms of hair care, comfort, and durability. Most of the people are confused between Silk and Satin because of their same appearance.

Type of fabric is very important because it directly comes in contact with skin and hairs. For healthy sleep, you should pure Egyptian made bedding products.
