@ALRATIBA Too late now since you recycled yours, but I used iron on tape on the flat ends of each side...less slipping.

My mom did but I haven’t. I still have her purple satin pillow case and pillow even though she’s been gone 9 years. Strange.

@OKPrincess ....not strange. Sweet and sentimental. It must be comforting.

Yes it’s comforting. After reading this post I know why she had a satin pillow case.

I use silk (Crepe de Chine) and it has made a nice difference---not slippery.

yes absolutly. it keeps my hair from getting snarly, and of course it helps with wrinkles if you sleep on face or are a side sleeper.

Another satin bonnet wearer. It keeps my curls perfect and not fizzy or fattened out. I can wear go 3 days without washing my hair and it looks great. I tried sleeping on a satin pillow case but just couldn't get used to it.

I use the 100% Mulberry silk pillowcase. My Mother always used a silk pillowcase and I had one at a very young age.

I even take it when we travel. Great for your face and hair, at least for me.

The pillowcase I have doesn't slide on the bed.

@CherryHugs Did you mean silk or satin? Silk sounds wonderful but, no, I sleep on cotton.

@Katcat1, if you read through the thread, you'll excellent information on the difference betwee silk and satin.

Curly girl advice often includes not using a cotton towel to dry your hair or a cotton pillowcase. The idea is that it roughens the cuticle and causes frizz.

@Katcat1 Mine are just slippery pillow covers w/ zippers from BB&B....maybe even poly....the idea is it isn’t cotton & has ”slip”. I change mine many times during the week & not willing to spend $60+ for satin cases. These accomplish same thing.
