Satin pillowcase

Grouchomarx — Tue, 14 Jan 2020 19:12:24 GMT

Anyone have luck with these? I just ordered a couple. I have hair breakage issues around the crown and I'm convinced it's the pillowcase giving friction. I toss around a lot at night. Silk pillowcase does not help, I'm hoping satin might. They were cheap so if not, no big loss.

"I toss around a lot at night."

You would do better wearing a satin head rag at bedtime.

I have thought of that but I am one to rip things from my body and toss them aside while sleeping. Like socks and eyemasks and such. I don't think a cap of any kind will make it through the night!

I'm a true toss and turn sleeper too.

When I noticed thinning hair I talked to my Derm about it and he suggested satin pillowcases and biotin.

He said that the satin would provide more slip between my hair and the pillow. as I toss and turn.

Haha, I bought a satin nite cap, after having my hair done. My late husband laughed at me, and said "how long do you think you'll keep that on"? Well, I woke up th next morning,looked over at him, and he had it on, ruffles and all. Miss that jerk, he was fun.

@Grouchomarx Hopefully the satin pillowcases you purchased are very soft. When you mentioned that they did not cost much, I was concerned that they would not be what you wanted. I do hope they are.

@HLP Boy did that make me laugh!!!! He must have had a great sense of humor, God rest his soul.

My friend uses a satin pillowcase, never sleeps without it. She even takes it when we go on group vacations. She swears by it. I have never used one but I have pretty short hair.

Yes, it does help. Silk is preferred but satin works well. You will notice it helpful for your skin as well.

I've been using satin or silk pillowcases for about 5 years. I couldn't find a clean one the other day so I used a percale pillowcase. I had big creases on the side of my face for about an hour after I woke up! I've never had that happen with the satin or silk cases.

I buy cheapo ones at ebay or Amazon and always use them. My hair is in better condition and my skin isn't half bad either. I don't know whether I can attribute it to the satin pillowcases but whatever, I'll take it!

I move around a lot at night have tried MANY options - bonnets, satin-lined caps, buffs, etc - I can never get one to consistently stay on through the night. One might stay on 3 out of 7 nights or none of them.

I have to use a three-pronged combination:

"Pineapple" ponytail (high pony on top of head)
Buff drawn up over hair and tied at top
A silk pillowcase as the backup when the buff falls off

Yes, they work for me. Been using them since the 90s for prevention of lines from sleeping on my side. Work great for keeping hair from damage from tossing and turning. Currently using the copper one from Consult Beaute.

After having straight thick hair for most of my life it began to curl, what a surprise! I started to use silk pillow cases on the advice of my hairdresser and they work great and like another mentioned, cut out face creases. Bought one for grand daughter to ease hair fiction at least at night because as a dancer her hair was in a bun or wearing in a pony tail to much so some breakage becgan to occur. The more expensive ones work much better than the cheaper ones.

@Alison Wonderland, what is a "buff"? Maybe I'm just drawing a blank. :-)

I have a copper infused pillowcase. I do like it!

@suzyQ3 ,If you've ever seen an episode of Survivor, the buff is the weird multipurpose tube the contestants use to show which team they're on.

Turns out, they're fantastic for curly hair. Here's the Instagram video that sold me on them. It's a series of videos. The first one, she explains plopping. Click the arrow on the right side of the video to go to part two, where she puts the buff on. Videos 3 and 4 explain what to do if your hair is super long and how she pulls the ends down over her ears and eyes to sleep.

When I pull mine over my eyes like she does, it stays on pretty well. It still falls off a lot, but far less often than anything else I've tried.
