So many solutions to skin and hair woes are not easy to implement. I will never drink liters of water a day, good luck getting me to put down my hot tools, and the chances of me washing my towels every three days is pretty much nonexistent. However, the simple act of swapping out my standard cotton pillowcase for a silk version is easy and yields almost immediate results. If it sounds too good to be true, it isn’t. Just like curly girls have known for ages that a standard towel causes frizz while a T-shirt is our savior, silk has many benefits that you’ll notice right away. Not only does it cause less friction, which means less breakage and frizz for our hair, but they’re also anti-bacterial, which means fewer breakouts. Add in the fact that they feel super luxurious, there are affordable options, and they actually help prevent wrinkles. You’ll be wondering why you didn’t make the switch sooner. Here, find 18 silk pillowcases for every budget, hair concern, and skincare woe.
This 100% silk pillowcase comes in 14 different colors to suit every bedroom aesthetic. Both sides of this pillowcase are silk, and it doesn’t retain much heat, which makes it an excellent choice for sweaty sleepers.

Why are silk pillowcases good to use?
“Silk pillowcases fight frizz and help you retain moisture, especially on naturally curly hair. It’s less snagging and pulling on your hair at night,” says Sturdivant-Drew. “As a bonus, silk pillowcases are fantastic for your skin because they are much softer, so less face wrinkles and less irritation,” says Lopez.
Who should be using silk pillowcases?
If you have damaged hair or trouble skin, silk pillowcases may make a difference. Sturdivant-Drew recommends silk pillowcases for: “People who have dry, brittle hair and also frizzy hair. Natural hair people in general if you have that problem. Also chemically lightened hair.” Silk is excellent for anyone experiencing hair loss or breakage. “Cotton absorbs any natural moisture or any natural oils that are in your hair. People tend to see a lot of breakage along the crown of the hair, on the sides of their hair where they press their head because their hair is rubbing up against the cotton for hours,” says Lopez. “A silk pillowcase has a lot less friction and also does not absorb those natural oils and moisture from the hair. The silk gives a little extra layer to your hair to prevent breakage, dryness, brittleness, and splitting.”
