FAQ
What is the difference between satin and silk?
Satin is a type of fabric made from different materials like polyester, or nylon. Silk, on the other hand, is a natural fiber that comes from silkworms. While silk can be used to make satin fabric, not all satin is made of silk. Silk has its own special qualities, like a natural shine, breathability, and being good for sensitive skin, which may not be the same for other satin fabrics.
Is silk good to tame frizzy hair?
Yes, silk is known for its hair-friendly properties, including its ability to tame frizzy hair. Silk has a smooth surface that causes less friction and helps to minimize hair breakage, tangles, and static. When using a silk pillowcase or wrapping hair in a silk scarf or bonnet, it can reduce the friction between the hair strands and the fabric, leading to smoother, less frizzy hair in the morning. Silk also helps to retain the hair's natural moisture and prevent excessive drying, contributing to healthier-looking hair.
Is silk good for oily skin?
Unlike certain synthetic fabrics, silk is a natural fiber that is known for its breathable properties. It allows air circulation and helps to wick away excess moisture from the skin, which can be particularly helpful for individuals with oily skin. Additionally, silk is hypoallergenic and less likely to irritate or clog the pores, reducing the risk of breakouts.
Why is silk more expensive than satin?
Silk is more expensive than satin due to several factors. Firstly, silk is a natural fiber produced by silkworms, requiring a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. The silk production involves carefully harvesting silk threads from silkworm cocoons, which are then spun into yarns. This process is intricate and requires expertise. In contrast, satin can be made from various synthetic or blended fibers, which are often less costly to produce.
Let customers speak for us
Well made and a good size - easily fits my down-filled pillow even with an extra pillow case
II recieved the curl Hair brush within a few days of ordering. I was sceptical whether it would work for my thick frizzy hair.
I was stocked after the first time of using it. I sectioned out my wet hair and brushed my hair underneath and turned the brush so the hair separated into sections. I applied curl product and scrunched my hair, and I was delighted how perfectly it curled my hair, and it reduced my frizz alot. I would recommend it to anyone considering buying it.
Very happy with my pillowcases. Great quality and beautifully finished with the addition of piping and zipper. Far superior to silk pillowcases I have purchased elsewhere in the past.
Happy with my purchase, it’s quality and the personalisation/attention to detail of the note in my package:)
love this silk cap so much!! So glad I bought it it feels soo nice and is so amazing for the price ! I recommend for you to buy it it’s worth your money
I ordered a silk bonnet and some scrunchies, and the moment I opened the package I was blown away. The care, personal touches, and even the lightly scented paper made the unboxing feel special. The silk bonnet and scrunchies are absolutely beautiful — exceptional quality and attention to detail.
Truly a wonderful experience, thank you x

Amazing service and communication, product is excellent quality. Shipping was fast. 5 stars, would absolutely use this shop again!
I purchased this cap for the quality and I have not been disappointed. I feel my hair is so soft after wearing this overnight. It also smells like lavender!
I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for no more frizz or tangled hair.
Love my new curly brush & scrunchies. I saw the many videos posted online which prompted me to buy the brush but I have to say, they are actually true! I used the same method & my curls sprung up like a yoyo, just like in the videos. I have very knotty hair after washing usually and this brush glides through easily. 10/10.
Lovely quality silk sleeping cap with excellent stretch fabric tie that has a good width and length to keep the cap secure overnight. Better than others I have tried! Very happy with my purchase that supports a small women owned business x
I was sceptical seeing these brushes. But I’m glad I purchased.
Brushing my daughter’s curly hair is much easier now and the curls look amazing
not only does this brush slide through my curly knots but it styles my hair and creates beautiful waves and curls naturally. I was amazed and thought it was just a coincidence but everyone compliments my hair asking what I have done to make my curls so lovely! Very impressed!
At last! I can tie my hair back without breaking the hair/tangling the curls of losing the hair tie in the mass of hair itself! Love these.
