Why Silk

This is How it Works

Silk helps protect little kids’ hair from breakage mainly by reducing friction and moisture loss. Here’s how:

1. Reduced Friction

  • Cotton or rough fabrics can cause friction as kids move around in their sleep. This friction can lead to hair tangling, pulling, and eventually breakage.
  • Silk is very smooth, so it allows the hair to glide over the surface, minimizing tugging and knots.

2. Moisture Retention

  • Silk doesn’t absorb moisture the way cotton does. Cotton pillowcases or hats can pull natural oils and moisture from the hair, making it dry and brittle.
  • Silk helps retain those natural oils, keeping hair softer, more hydrated, and less prone to breakage.

3. Less Static and Frizz

  • The smooth surface of silk reduces static electricity, which means less frizz and fewer flyaways — especially important for curly or textured hair that’s more prone to dryness and breakage.

4. Gentle on Sensitive Scalps

  • Kids often have more sensitive skin and scalps. Silk is hypoallergenic and soft, making it gentler overall and less likely to irritate the scalp or cause discomfort.
