Ah, the beloved headscarf. When worn overnight, it prevents moisture from seeping out, keeps hair and edges in place, reduces the friction caused by pillowcases and diminishes hair loss and split ends. Yet, there’s nothing more disheartening than pinning your scarf in place before bed just to wake up a mess, with it in a pile on your pillow.
When your bonnet, or headscarf, turns on you - it can feel like the biggest betrayal. The good news: we combed through the Internet to bring you the best silk scarves that are not only comfortable, but durable enough to stay in place while you sleep.
Isoken Enofe Juju Bonnet - $27
Size may be a big factor in your bonnet staying on. If your current one is too small, you might want to look into Isoken Enofe. Their bonnets are big enough for long hair, braids, or locs.
Evolve Satin Wrap Scarf - $3.99
Evolve has been a favorite of mine for years. Again, when it comes to bonnets — size matters. The long tie at the back of this scarf allows you to adjust to your comfort level for a secure hold and fit. The satin lining also promotes healthy hair growth.
SILKE London: “The Poppy” Silk Hair Wrap - $65
I know what you’re thinking — usually I’d feel the same — but the cost of this scarf is totally worth it. Made of 100% mulberry silk, this scarf claims to promote growth, hydration and thicker hair. Plus, this full coverage hair scarf doubles as a fashionable accessory.
Stay On Satin Edge Bonnet - $1.76
Walmart reviewers describe this as “the saving grace for sensitive scalps.” The comfortable elastic and satin lining won’t irritate your head or fall off.
Grace Eleyae: “The Slap” Satin-Lined Cap - $21.99
Well-behaved next day curls is a forever goal of mine, and exactly what you’ll get with this cap. Lined with satin, it will work to retain moisture while staying in place.
Evolve Satin Wide Edge Bonnet - $5.99
I would be hard-pressed to not mention another Evolve favorite. This bonnet will prevent tangles and protect edges while lengthening and hydrating hair.
Glow by Daye Extra Large Satin Bonnet - $19.99
If you tend to toss and turn while you sleep, this is the bonnet for you. Its two-layer protectors are heavy-duty and guarantee frizz-free mornings. Plus, it’s reversible, allowing you to choose the color.
