So I remember reading some years ago about the benefits of sleeping on a silk pillowcase for your skin and hair. It's supposed to make your hair more silky, reduce bedhead hair, prolong blowouts and for your skin it's supposed to reduce the sleeping creases you get from your face smooshed in the pillow and it's supposed to be less likely to suck the moisture out of your skin like a cotton pillowcase. I've been sleeping on pillowcase that was made from some smooth material I picked out overseas years ago, I was after silk but I'm pretty sure it's not silk.
Anyways it's been pilling for years and just recently the pills have been feeling rather itchy so it's time for an upgrade and this time I would like to invest in real silk that's also reasonably easy to care for and not too time consuming to maintain. So I'm wondering if anyone here has been sleeping on silk and what beauty benefits did they notice if they did wake up with smoother skin and more silky hair? Any brand recommendations? What type of pillow protector will go best under a silk pillowcase so that lays smooth on the pillow and you can get the most luxurious feel out of the silk? Would love to hear about your experiences using silk pillowcases.

Silk Pillowcases for Smoother Skin and Hair - Anyone Tried One? Which Ones Do You Recommend?

Good thread, must say I've never really thought about it lol.
I have a pillow case that is half silk on one side and a cotton type on the other side. But now that you mention it, my hair does seem to be less frazzled and static when sleeping on the silky side.
Might have to go hunting for some new silk pillowcases I think, will try and do a little experiment of my own by changing the side of the pillow case etc.

I think satin is better than cotton but silk is supposed to be the best, atm. I was really impressed at how quickly my order arrived from the US. I start sleeping on real silk tonight. I'll see if it does anything. To the touch it definitely feels better than what I was previously sleeping on that was itchy from pilling.
So I've been sleeping on silk for a month now. It definitely feels nicer than the fake silk that I had before, very smooth and not cold when I roll over during the night. The pillowcase is white so it stains easily and it needs handwashing. As for facial sleep creases I didn't have much before sleeping on the fake silk, but there is a slight reduction in one fine line in regards to the side I sleep on. That being said I did start using The Ordinary around the same time and that skincare line is amazing for the price so that's what I mostly credit for skin improvements. I also haven't had as much static with my hair so far though I mostly have my hair in braids about 95% of the time rather than wearing it down and I have been using more hair oil.
So overall for the luxurious feel of silk it's worth it to me, even if it isn't doing as much for my skin and hair plus it's a one off purchase.

A friend of mine tried it and made her hair visibly smoother and shinier, feels softer and is waving more evenly. It almost looks like she blow dried it, or at least ran a straightener through it for a sec.
i know it kinda sound unreal, but the silk pillowcase rumors are true; it’s not just a marketing ploy.

I'd thoroughly recommend sleeping on a silk pillowcase! Did wonders for my hair! It's naturally quite dry and a bit damaged, but I swear by my silk pillowcase when it comes to sleeping. I wake up feeling so refreshed and my hair seems noticeably less tangled than when I sleep on cotton.
