Silk for my Pillow

#4 Silk Pillow Cases

I am so glad i finally found some silk pillow cases; sounds extravagant to some, maybe, but it is very important, especially for women with long hair.  You see, cotton sucks all the moisture out of the hair causing it to dry and break more easily.  A silk pillow case will keep the moisture in the hair; less dryness, less damage.  Some women choose to sleep with silk scarves tied around their heads, and this works just as well, but for me I just don't like the feeling of my head being wrapper while I am sleeping. 

Surprisingly, there are very few retailers who make silk pillow cases, at least where I live, though Daisy  Fuentes bedding line at Kohls has some.  However, they are very easy to make ;) Just find a couple silk scarves that you like, try places like TJ Maxx for discounted ones, and sew them together on three sides, and viola, you've made your own custom pillow case.

A little side note; because the fabric is more delicate than cotton wash them in a laundry bag to keep them from catching on things in the washer and dryer :)

Later lovelies
