Protect Your Hairstyle With a Blissy Silk Pillowcase
Whether you have straight, wavy, or curly hair, it should be easy to keep your locks healthy and happy!
Sleeping on a Blissy Silk Pillowcase nightly is a simple and proven way to:
- Prevent hair breakage
- Reduce frizz

The magic of silk
Silk is nearly friction-free (43% less friction than cotton). So, when you toss and turn at night on a silk pillowcase, your hair and skin will be worlds happier.
When looking for a silk pillowcase, ensure your case is made from 100% pure mulberry silk of the highest grade, 6A. Also look for a silk weight of 22-momme, which is ultra-soft yet strong enough for years of daily use.
Only use a silk pillowcase that's of superior quality and safety. Look for the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 label if you're unsure.
Prot tip: Blissy Silk Pillowcases satisfy all of the above!
