We all know the importance of protecting our hair from the elements to prevent drying and breakage. What some of us forget is the importance of protecting our hair while we sleep. If you are getting the recommended 8 hours of sleep every night, it’s imperative that you protect your hair from the cotton pillowcase because the cotton will rob your hair of its moisture.
One great option is using a hair bonnet, but not all bonnets are created equally. The best fabric to use on your hair is silk. Enter this Silk Bonnet with Ties from Pretty Anntoinet’s.
Benefits
According to the website, this Bonnet is 100% Habutai Silk. “Habutai” means “soft downey” in Japanese. It’s super lightweight with a smooth surface. The silk fabric protects your hair and helps to preserve your style.
My Experience
I’ve been using the bonnet for the past few weeks and I love it. The hood size is smaller than my other bonnet (pictured below), which makes it ideal for holding pin curls in place. It will also be great for keeping wrapped hair in place. The habutai fabric is lightweight which makes it ideal for the warmer climate. However, with the lighter fabric, some of the oil in my hair was able to transfer onto my pillowcase.
My favorite feature of the bonnet is the bold and fun color. Most bonnets come in the standard black color but there are several color and pattern options available from this website. Overall, I’m very happy with the bonnet and would recommend it.

The owner, Linda, was kind enough to send me the habutai bonnet to review, but I previously purchased my polka dot bonnet from her website (pictured above).
