Choose from burgundy, black, and gold and enjoy softer, sleeker hair for longer.
What is satin?
Contrary to popular belief, the term "satin" actually refers to the weave of a fabric, and not the material itself. It describes fabrics that are typically glossy or shiny on one side and dull on the other.
It is this type of weave that makes for a great protective bonnet for naturally curly and afro hair. The construction of the fabric helps your delicate hair strands to glide across its surface, rather than snagging. It also is less absorbent than cotton.
Benefits of Satin
- Satin helps retain moisture in your hair, as satin fabrics are much less absorbent than cotton. So, the products that you apply to your hair to keep it hydrated, stay in your hair and not in your bonnet while you sleep. Unlike cotton, it does not absorb moisture. This means shinier and smoother hair for you, and for longer too.
- The smooth surface that satin creates helps to reduce breakage caused by friction. So, whether you choose to wear your afro or curly hair loose under your bonnet, or perhaps you're wearing a protective style – your strands and your edges will encounter much less catching, tugging, and snagging.
- Satin can also help to minimise frizz, preserving your wash and go styles for longer, or helps your mini twists, or the cornrows you wear under your wig – the possibilities are endless and truly unique to your haircare routine and preferences. Either way, it helps to maintain the natural definition of your hair and keeps your hairstyles neater for longer.
- Although it may appear to be very delicate, it is also a resistant fabric. Plus, with the additional straps, you have the potential to use your satin bonnet for much longer than your average bonnet, simply tuck the straps in until you need them, and tighten them over time.

Care Instructions
When it comes to caring for your satin bonnet, we recommend that you wash it on wash days. It is important to keep your bonnet clean, and wearing a fresh bonnet on freshly washed hair is good practice.
We advise you to handwash your satin bonnet, with lukewarm to cold water and with a gentle cleanser, rinsing well. Do not use bleach.
Do not wring or twist the fabric, but ensure that you squeeze out any excess water and leave it to air dry.
