Who sleeps on a silk/satin pillowcase?

[natieya]

I have a satin pillowcase, but got tired of using it because it made my face really greasy. (I tend to oil and moisturize my hair at night so it will absorb while I'm sleeping.) In the mornings, though, I would wake up to a shiny shiny face and it felt gross. I worried it would cause breakouts. Did anyone else have this problem? Anyone have any potential solutions?

B.U.M.P.I.N.G...

I love sleeping on my satin pillowcase. Sometimes I wrap my hair, too. I sleep better knowing my hair's safe, hehe.

I haven't had this problem yet because usually when I've put a lot of oil into my hair I use a silk scarf in addition to the pillowcase. Personally, since learning about the Oil Cleansing Method (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iQo60y912g&feature=related), I don't worry too much about my oils getting on my face as long as I use a warm washcloth to wipe it all off (unless they're comogenic oils).

Yep, I do. A scarf will start out on my head at night, but by morning it is on the floor A pillowcase is a must for me. And I do notice a difference from when I use the case as opposed to when I get lazy and forget to use it. My hair gets a lot more brittle. erplexed

Same here. I never use my pillowcase alone, I use it for reassurance. I don't trust using my satin pillowcase alone, don't know why...just don't. I think I'm gonna upgrade to silk pillowcases though...

I have to have a pillowcase or bonnet because my scarf slips off at night.

 

[bermudabeauty]

me me me me me. Mine is satin though. I have stained the mess out of it with all of my hair oils. LOL

I sleep on a Satin Pillow Case

Same here

I sleep on a satin pillowcase and also use a silk scarf and bonnet. The pillowcase acts as backup protection when the bonnet falls off. But I have definitely noticed a difference when i sleep on a satin pillowcase my hair isn't as wild and dry in the morning.

Ladies,
I haven't read the other pages of this thread.....but yes I have a satin pillowcase and a scarf....BUT, one day while at the BSS I turned the package over and guess what?????? The front of the package says SATIN...but when I look at the small print on the back it will say something like 100% polyester, not REAL SATIN...

So, I'm wondering for the ladies that break out sleeping on them...is your pillowcase 100% satin/silk?

So...now I don't buy my satin caps/pillowcase from the BSS...i just purchased me a few 100% satin/silk scarfes out of TJ MAXX...they were marked down from like $20-25 to $7 bucks. Yes, there's a big price difference when dealing with the real satin/silk scarfes v/s the $2.99 ones in the BSS.

HTHS!


Oh, to answer your question OP, my hair loves the REAL satin/silk scarfes....when I was using the fake ones....my hard didn't have a shine to it,..just dull like.

I sleep on a satin pillow case and also wear a satin scarf every night

Thanks for this. I'll have to try it to see if it helps me.

Thanks for replying, too.

I sleep on a satin pillowcase. It helps my hair look decent the morning after allow me to go two to three days without re doing my hair in addition to the benefits of sleeping on satin vs. other fabrics that can dry out or break off the hair.

so1913: do you use a scarf at night too or just the pillow case?

 

[DaPPeR]

Bumping....where are you women getting your pillowcases from? I did a search and found nothing. Feel free to PM me. Thank u!

 

[healthyhair2]

YES, this makes all the difference between breakage or not. My hair is smoother since I have used the silk scarf and pillowcase.

 

[MsChelle]

I will never lay my head on anything but a silk pillow case. I carry one when I travel too!!! It does help alot.

I've noticed this too, I'm going to do the same and just buy a scarf from the acessories section of a clothes shop rather than the hair shop.. con artists

I always without exception sleep with one set of satin pillowcases on my bed. I'm a pillow freak, I have the ones with the shams, they are silk, then the big kings sized ones to match my linen and then my faithful "sleeping" cases, those are 100% satin. I always get them to coordinate with my bedroom set.

I prefer to sleep on 500 + thread count sheets, but my sleeping cases are always satin.

 

[youwillrise]

the silk/satin thing wouldnt work for me
unless my whollllllle bed set was silk/satin

i sleep with my head under the covers
so the blanket would mess my head up
i hardly use a pillow
(it always ends up being tossed to the side)
so my head usually always on the sheet

haha.

 

[~NanCeBoTwin~]

I saw one of these in the bss yesterday, I almost purchased it, but decided I'd spent enough for one day (i'm trying to get a hold of myself) but I think I may go back today and pick two of these up. One for me and one for my dd.

 

[Queen V]

I do, although this preceded my hair journey because I prefer satin sheet sets in the first place.
