Natural features of silk, such as its smooth surface, aid in reducing friction on your hair as you sleep. Split ends, knotting, and hair damage is common side effects of conflict. Silk's silky texture helps hair glide over it while you sleep, minimising frizz, knots, and bedhead. Hair gurus and stylists have traditionally used silk pillowcases to hold up hairdos like perms, blowouts, and braids for longer without adding frizz or stress, while other textiles like cotton snag your hair.
]]>Do you know that an average person spends approximately 26 years of its live sleeping?! And, as if that wasn't stunning enough, we spend an additional seven years attempting to sleep. This translates to a third of our lives (12,045 days or 227,760 hours) spent in bed.
These numbers underscore the need of investing in the correct bedding to improve our health as much as possible, as the quality of our sleep influences our mood, energy, and overall well-being.
The health and well-being of our skin and hair are two areas of our lives that are heavily influenced by the bedding we use! Did you realise that your face has more touch with your pillowcase than any other fabric throughout the day?
This emphasises the significance of using high-quality bedding that will not harm your skin.
Mulberry silk pillowcases over goose down pillows are a must-have for good hair and skin, as well as many other advantages to our general health.
Silk pillowcases are composed of silk, a natural protein fibre derived from silkworms that are both soft and breathable, allowing air to travel through. Unfortunately, silk is more expensive than cotton and other textiles, so silk pillowcases are also more expensive.
You are tired of having hair that resembles a bird's nest when you wake up in the morning? Is a silk pillowcase beneficial to hair? If you sleep on silk pillowcases, you'll be able to keep your bedhead under control. Bedhead and split ends are no longer an issue. Silk's natural smoothening capabilities, attributed to its smooth surface, can reduce hair follicle friction, leading to damage such as split ends. Sleeping on an elegant silk pillowcase is well worth it for the sake of your hair.

Hair gurus and stylists have traditionally used silk pillowcases to hold up hairdos like perms, blowouts, and braids for longer without adding frizz or stress, while other textiles like cotton snag your hair.
Silk is also a more hygienic sleeping surface. Cotton is highly absorbent, which means it accumulates dirt and oils while you sleep, exposing you to them.
Cotton will also rob your hair of natural oils, causing it to become dehydrated as you sleep. Sleeping on silk allows your hair to retain more moisture, preserving the natural oils and preventing the accumulation of residue from previous nights.
Silk pillowcases can help you have a healthier head of hair, mainly if you use them every night. Silk hydrates your hair, making it stronger and less brittle. Silk seals in hydration and encourages natural movement, whereas cotton absorbs moisture and oils from your hair. Silk will be the gift you wish you'd given yourself if you suffer from dry strands or scalp discomfort.
Silk's silky, smooth texture helps to reduce frizz, knots, and breakage, resulting in lustrous, soft hair. Switching to silk is a must-do if you splurge on suitable hair treatments, deep conditioners, or regular trims. In addition, silk pillowcases will support your hair as you sleep, adding to your dedication to hair care. While sleeping on silk does not cause your hair to grow, the tremendous benefits it provides to your strands may cause your hair to grow healthier and longer.
While you may forget the specifics of how silk works the next time someone mentions their hair care routine, the list of benefits is simple: less frizz, less breakage, and fewer tangles, as well as increased moisture, natural oils, and smoothness, equal healthier hair overall. Don't be afraid to invest in yourself; you'll be caring for your hair for the rest of your life, so make it look good
The popularity of silk pillowcases is booming, and manufacturers are taking notice. As a result, several low-quality silk pillowcases for hair are on the market.
Look for a silk pillowcase made of 100 per cent mulberry silk with a 19 momme to 20 momme (the unit of weight for a silk weave). A luxurious silk pillowcase might cost up to $130. Satin pillowcases, which are less expensive than silk pillowcases, and does not provide the same hair care and skincare benefits as Mulberry silk pillowcases.

ELITE SILK REVIEW ON SILK PILLOWCASES
Today I would like to discuss with you a How to Buy Silk Pillowcase and Silk itself. Did you ever try to buy a mulberry silk pillowcase in local retailers?!
Those ones who did try to buy a silk pillowcase would know how limited information available. You need to understand what exactly you are paying for.
So, I went to five different Auckland retailers who classified themselves as luxury bedding store.
Some of them try to convince me the polyester satin pillowcase is mulberry silk, the other one had no clue what I was talking about.
In the end, I have found my 19 MM mulberry silk pillowcase for $120. I thought right it’s quite pricey. I would not buy 9 of them for the family of 3. But I need to buy at least one to try for myself. At this point, as you know from my previous blog, I would pay any money just to get the relief on my skin and hair. I was so desperate.
When I went to look for my Mulberry silk pillowcase I did my homework about silk type and silk grades and what exactly it should do to my skin and hair. Therefore I was very well informed about what silk pillowcase I want.
There are different grades of Mulberry silk starts from 3A/4A, 5A/6A the most commonly known on the current market. 5A is very good for bedding sheets and so does 6A but its slightly different. 3A/4A is commonly used for filling duvets, pillows, or mattresses. 5A/6A is getting expensive for filling purposes. But few certified factories (see here) still doing it and they do have their market for it. When I was considering the stock for Elite Silk, I was a determent to get the best grade possible and understand as much as I can to make the right decision.
Elite Silk STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®
We have an idea what grades are, let’s talk about momme. Silk gets measured for its quality by type on top of the grade. For example, 6 to 8 momme is commonly used for lingerie, 8 to 19 momme is good for bedding, pillowcases, clothing, bedwear, etc.
Silk Pillowcase from 22 MM and up is quite thicker silk so that is commonly get used for Luxury silk pillowcases, bedding & bedwear, winter pajamas, and robes.
But the main key to all these types and grade it is important that silk would be produced by mulberry worms. Then it is counting the best fiber for your skin and hair.
Silk itself was lovely and it did a really good job to my skin and hair, but zip which was inside got broken down after four months, which was very disappointing and when I took the silk pillowcase back to retailer they said they cannot exchange as it was used already which is fair enough, I guess 🙂
So, after that I have ordered another silk pillowcase without a zip from some American website, I thought I have done really well this time. But keep reading. Pocket inside which supposed to support pillow was so short that, my pillow kept falling out of the silk pillowcase every night.
So, I was not going to give up. I have found other American websites as I thought and bought another silk pillowcase this time for a very good price of $30US only!!!
But this pure mulberry silk pillowcase happens to be only one side silk and the other side was cotton. Which defied the whole purpose of it. I have learned cheap is not necessarily the right one.
As you can see I had so much fun in finding my perfect silk pillowcase again and again.
Are You Getting Bang for Your Buck When It Comes to Your Silk Pillowcase?

Sleeping on silk pillowcase really helped me with my dry skin and hair. I would like to share my experience with you, what it's like to buy a silk pillowcase and what it's like to sleep on it from my own experiences.
My name is Elena. I am originally from Uzbekistan (ex-republic of the Soviet Union). English is my second language, so please do accept my apologies if this article contains some grammar mistakes. I have been living in New Zealand and Australia for the last 19 years. It was my personal decision to keep this article authentic and without any form of editing.
For a long time, I was considering whether or not I should tell the true story of how Elite Silk was born. I finally put it together. I feel that my story may help in some way or make a difference and will create hope in someone else’s life today. The story which brought me to create Elite Silk was based on my health issues. In some way, I find it hard to share my grief, struggle, and humiliation with the rest of the world. But I will try my best.
More than 10 years ago I have developed the aggressive form of acne skin (mid-age acne. Before my 30th I had fantastic skin).To those ones who have been through Acne Skin problems. I don’t need to explain what it takes for us to look at ourselves in the mirror every day. Personal self-esteem, self-worth, relationship, confidence, socializing and peace of mind which once I knew, no longer existed in my life. My own shade had more personality than me.
I have visited so many dermatologists, skin care specialists, doctors. I have tried every single treatment available on the market. And only 8 years later one of my Doctor decided to put me on Accutane (Oratane). Which apparently has so many sides effects on human health, that doctors try to avoid it if it’s possible. It only gets prescribed as a last result. After every other treatment failed.
That’s when I start my journey with this medication. I call it a JOURNEY. Because every single day for 9 months was horrific. Accutane (Oratane) dry out oil in human body glands, as a result, skin gets worth a million times at the begging for the first 6 months. Cracked lips, skin flakes, blemishes, dry eyes, hair becomes thin and fragile. If you think you have bad hair now, try to wake up on Accutane (Oratane). The hair is breaking down every night. It’s like you have a new shorter haircut every morning. I did end up with a very short Pixie cut, in the end. Everything is itching and deep dark depression surrounded me.
I have turned for the support online and start reading people’s blogs just to find a hope that I was not alone on this one and there is someone else who did go through the full course of Accutane (Oratane). That’s how I have read the first time about the benefits of the silk pillowcase. Someone shared in their personal blog that the silk pillowcase made a huge difference in their routine while being on Accutane (Oratane).
I started my research and to my big surprise, I have learned that many famous beauties including Kate Winslet, Reese Witherspoon, Gisele Bundchen, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kim Kardashian and many more are choosing to use Mulberry Silk pillowcases for their skin and hair benefits. Marilyn Monroe’s choice was Chanel No 5 and silk sheets.
Also, I have learned that silk contains two types of protein-containing 18 amino acid, it’s naturally hypoallergenic and I have found scientific articles that support all these statements. During my research, I learned that there are many different types and grades of silk. and that’s it’s easy to buy satin silk if you don’t know much difference. I really wanted to sleep on pure Mulberry Silk Pillowcase. After all this knowledge I was not going to settle for less. Therefore, I went to a few local bedding retailers, only one store had silk pillowcases. They were selling for $120 per/pillowcase it was 19 mm! I bought it.
To my big pleasant surprise after the first night sleeping on the silk pillowcase, my hair looked the same as I went to bed. The first time I could leave the house without washing my hair. This was my first little victory.
During the next few weeks, I have noticed that I started enjoying going to sleep and silk did ease my itchiness during my sleep. So, I began to look forward to going to bed every night.
A year since I finished my last pill of Accutane (Oratane). I have amazing skin and people are often complimenting me about it (I am no longer shy ). My hair slowly but surely is growing back. My confidence and joy are back in my life. I still choose to sleep on a silk pillowcase and I will do that for the rest of my life. I created Elite Silk, I work with the most beautiful Mulberry Silk pillowcases, Bedding & Bedwear.
Now, I look back and I feel so great full for all that pain because it led me to discover the benefits of Pure Mulberry Silk Pillowcase. I really hope my story will help today someone else and I just would like to say to you: If you are going through something like what I went through, please don’t give up, just keep going. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, I promise.
With all my love to you all,
Elena
Founder of the “Elite Silk”
