The 13 Best Silk Pillowcases for Healthy Skin and Hair

Over the last few years I’ve got every single one of my friends and family hooked on silk pillowcases. After discovering the benefits of these pillowcases myself, I don’t think I’ve ever gone a night without sleeping on one (yes, I even bring my own silk pillowcase on holiday with me). They truly are that good. However, it’s not just because they’re comfortable. What I love about these pillowcases is actually how they benefit my skin and hair. Intrigued? I thought so.

I first invested in a silk pillowcase as I found I would go to bed with beautifully blow-dried hair but wake up with it literally all over the place. No matter if I used a hair mask the night before, I would always wake up to dry, messy hair that just wouldn’t behave the way I wanted it to. After reading a little bit about silk pillowcases and the benefits they can have for your hair, I decided to give one a go, and I’m not lying when I say my hair has never looked better.   

I’ve also noticed a huge difference in my skin, so I reached out to Fi Stewart, founder of silk-pillowcase brand Slip, to find out exactly what a silk pillowcase can do for your hair and skin, and what to look for when shopping for one. Keep on scrolling for all the info…
