  "description_short": "Both layers are 22 momme mulberry silk, the half-style band adjusts without digging in, and the roomy 13 inch bowl holds braids, curls, locs or long hair all night.",
  "description": "The problem nobody tells you about\n\nHair damage at night is quiet. There is no single moment where something goes wrong. It is just hours of your head turning on a cotton pillowcase, with every turn dragging strands across a slightly rough, absorbent surface. Multiply that by three hundred and sixty five nights and you get frizz you cannot style out, ends that look thinner than they did, and curls that have given up on their shape by morning.\n\nCotton is also thirsty. It pulls moisture out of hair and skin, which is one reason your ends feel drier at the end of the week than at the start of it, even when your routine has not changed.\n\nA silk bonnet solves the same problem a silk pillowcase does, but it travels with your head. You can roll, flip, sleep face down, share a bed, or stay at a hotel, and your hair is still sitting on silk. That is the simple reason bonnets have stayed popular for generations.\n\nWhat makes this one different\n\nTwo things, really. The silk weight and the size.\n\nStart with the silk. The inner and outer layers here are both 22 momme mulberry silk, described as 6A grade. Momme is how silk is weighed, similar in spirit to thread count. Lower momme silk, somewhere in the teens, feels thin and tends to lose its shape faster. Twenty two momme sits in the sweet spot. It has enough body to drape and hold form, without being heavy or warm on your head.\n\nThe double layer part matters more than it sounds. A lot of bonnets on the market pair a silk lining with a polyester or satin outer. That is cheaper to make, and it works until the outer layer pills, the two fabrics shift against each other, or the shell starts to feel plasticky after a few washes. When both faces are the same 22 momme silk, the whole cap behaves consistently. There is no weak layer.\n\nThen there is size. The bowl measures roughly 13 inches across. If you have ever bought a bonnet that technically fit but squashed your hair against your scalp, you already know why that number matters. A generous bowl lets hair sit rather than compress. Braids can lie without pulling at the roots. A twist out keeps some of its volume. Long hair can be coiled loosely instead of crammed.\n\nThe band is where cheap bonnets fail\n\nMost complaints about bonnets come down to the band. Too loose and it slides off at two in the morning. Too tight and you wake up with a red line across your forehead and a headache.\n\nThis one uses a half style adjustable band rather than a thick gathered elastic running the whole way around. The adjustment is the useful bit. You set it to your head once, and that becomes your setting. It should feel secure but relaxed. If you are pulling it down over your eyebrows to make it stay, the adjustment is wrong, not the bonnet.\n\nSide sleepers and stomach sleepers tend to be the hardest test for any sleep cap. The combination of an adjustable band and a bowl large enough that hair is not fighting to escape is what keeps it on through that kind of movement.\n\nWho this suits\n\nIf you have a lot of hair, by length or by density, this is the kind of cap built for you. That includes long straight hair, thick wavy hair, curls and coils, box braids, knotless braids, twists, locs, sew ins and wigs on a protective base.\n\nIt is equally useful for people with finer hair who are trying to hold onto a blow dry or a silk press into a second or third day. Less friction means less frizz, which means less reheating with tools.\n\nWhere you might want something different is if you have very short hair and no styling to preserve. The large bowl will still work, it just will not be doing much. And if your hair is very long and very heavy, gathering it loosely at the crown before you put the bonnet on will distribute the weight better than letting it all sit at the back.\n\nChoosing between a bonnet and a pillowcase\n\nPeople often ask which one to buy. The honest answer is that they do different jobs and plenty of people use both.\n\nA silk pillowcase protects whatever touches it, which includes the skin on your face as well as your hair. A bonnet keeps your hair contained, which is what you want if you have a style you are trying to preserve, or if you use oils and creams overnight that you would rather not spread across your bedding.\n\nIf you are choosing just one and style preservation is your priority, the bonnet wins. If your main concern is general smoothness and you dislike anything on your head at night, go with the pillowcase. If you are chasing the best silk bonnet for curly hair specifically, the size of the bowl is the deciding factor, more than anything else on the spec sheet.\n\nHow to wear it properly\n\nFlip your head forward and let your hair fall toward the crown. Place the bonnet over it and gather everything in, then sit up and adjust the band so it sits comfortably at your hairline. Do not stretch the band to breaking point to get it on. That is how elastics die early.\n\nIf you wear a leave in conditioner or oil, apply it and let it settle for a few minutes before you put the bonnet on, so most of it goes into the hair rather than the fabric. For braids and locs, a loose gather before you cap up stops the weight from pulling in one direction all night.\n\nLooking after it\n\nHand wash only. Cool water, a small amount of detergent made for silk or delicates, and gentle swirling rather than scrubbing. Rinse until the water is clear.\n\nNever wring it out. Press it between a clean towel to take the water out, reshape the bowl, then dry it flat somewhere out of direct sun. Radiators, dryers and hot windowsills all damage silk and degrade elastic faster than anything else you could do to it.\n\nHow often depends on your routine. Every week or two is normal. If you use heavy products overnight, wash it more often. The giveaway is texture: when the inside feels slightly coated instead of slippery, it needs a wash.\n\nIf it needs pressing, use the lowest iron setting, iron the reverse side, and put a cloth between the iron and the silk.\n\nSmall details that add up\n\nThe included travel pouch sounds minor and turns out to be the thing you use constantly. It keeps the bonnet clean in a weekend bag, stops it collecting lint in a drawer, and means you can throw it in a gym bag without thinking about it.\n\nThe pink color is just a color, but it does make the bonnet easier to spot in a dark bedroom at eleven at night, which is more practical than it sounds.\n\nThe short version\n\nThis is a large, well made silk bonnet with no shortcuts in the fabric. Both layers are 22 momme mulberry silk, so there is no cheap outer shell waiting to pill. The 13 inch bowl is the reason it works for braids, locs, curls and long hair where smaller caps flatten everything. The adjustable half style band holds overnight without pressing a line into your forehead.\n\nHand wash it, dry it flat, keep it out of the sun, and it will keep doing its job for a long time. If it turns out not to suit your hair, return it unused and unwashed within 14 days of delivery and we will sort it out.",
