Silk pillowcases reduce friction, helping prevent hair breakage, frizz, and tangles while minimizing sleep lines and fine wrinkles on the skin. Silk naturally retains moisture, so it can help keep hair and skin hydrated, making it ideal for hot sleepers and those with sensitive skin.

Zipper closures provide the most secure fit and prevent the pillow from slipping out during the night. Envelope closures are breathable and simple to use, while button closures offer a classic look but may come undone. Zippers are generally preferred for maintaining a smooth, elegant appearance.

Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat. Air dry or tumble dry on low, and iron on low heat if necessary. Using a mesh laundry bag in the washing machine helps protect the silk fibers.
