Cotton Sateen Pillow cases

The summer heat is here! and you still want to protect your hair while you sleep in case your head scarf or satin bonnet comes off?

I was looking for a higher thread count, but Croscill is supposed to be a good brand. I paid $11 for a two pillowcase set at a Tuesday Morning store. That's about the cost of an inexpensive satin pillowcover. So I was excited about my purchase. Satin pillowcovers can cause you to sweat during the summer. So "cotton sateen" is your next best choice during the warmer summer months.

Notice the "silky finish" on the pillowcovers? This will keep your hair ends smooth and prevent the actual cotton material from absorbing too much of your hair moisture!

Hair Cover to Avoid Shocking your Mate

Okay, beauty begins within, but . . . .

Sometimes we have bad hair "nights." Often times, if you are wearing wigs, ponytails, clip-ins, half-wigs during the day; then you do not want to destroy the glamour at night for your mate by sporting a totally different natural look.

Try a satin Bonnet with a string tie. Plait your hair around the hairline to create a barrier to avoid the bonnet from slipping off.

If your hair is too short to plait, then try to bobby pin the string tie. CrisCross the bobby pins to hold onto your top forehead. Try Bobby pinning the perimeter for support as well. The Goal is to keep the bonnet on until you are ready to put your glamour hair back in or back on.

If you go naturally kinky, you probably will need less bobby pins. Your afro should create a nice barrier from slipping off.
