Frizzy hair can be the bane of your life, especially on a bad hair day. Whether it’s because you ran out of time for a blow-dry or due to the damp, misty weather that hits you as soon as you step out of the door, those messy flyaway strands are not a good look.
The natural, long-lasting frizzy hair treatment
Silk : an effective frizzy hair treatment
When you were born with a tendency to fuzzy, unruly strands of hair floating about your face like a cloud, what can you do? What is actually an effective frizzy hair treatment? Preferably one that doesn’t require hours at the salon or spent in front of the mirror, and one that is as affordable as it is low maintenance?
A silk pillowcase for frizzy hair
A silk pillowcase could be the answer to your prayers, spelling an end to those bad hair day nightmares. The good news is it can help care for your hair as you slumber, making it a dream for those who really can’t be bothered trying to tame frizzy tresses. Yet again.
Moreover, when you do just give up and tie it all back, it’s wise to think about what you’re using to do that with.

Whether you use them to tie back long hair at night or for creating a quick up-do on a busy weekday, a pack of silk scrunchies really can be one of the best weapons in your fight against frizz. Read on to discover why silk really can work wonders for frizzy hair.
Why silk works wonders for frizzy hair
Silk is different. LIke cotton, it’s an all-natural material, but that’s where the similarity ends. Cotton is rougher in texture than silk, and this applies even when we’re talking about the finest, high thread count fabrics.
So silk is softer and smoother than cotton. How about satin? Satin is also very sleek - but as man-made material it’s also prone to causing static. As anyone with frizzy hair knows only too well, static is the enemy of your tresses, and adding even more into the mix won’t improve the look or feel of your locks.
Silk is natural, like cotton, but far kinder to your hair. The long strand, grade A mulberry silk used to make the best 22 momme (that’s the silk equivalent of a thread count) pillowcases is so much smoother than cotton. Calidad Home silk scrunchies are made from the exact same fabric.
Silk fabric is also made using the Charmeuse weave technique, which results in the smoothest material with a natural sheen and an ultra sleek surface. In turn, this reduces friction as your head moves over the surface of the silk during the night. This is also the case when you run a silk scrunchie through your hair.
The result is super smooth, sleek locks less prone to frizz, flyaway strands and damage. All in return for the one-off purchase of a silk pillowcase, which costs less than the average trip to a hair salon. From then on, no maintenance is required. Simply enjoy the luxury of sleeping on silk each night, and using the pretty scrunchies when you do tie your hair back.Silk is the natural, low maintenance way to care for frizzy hair.
Which is why even the likes of Cosmopolitan and John Frieda recommend switching to a silk pillowcase.
