Cotton works against your hair. Satin is a step up. Silk is the real thing — here’s how the three compare, night after night.
| Cotton | Satin | Mulberry silk | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Natural plant fiber | A weave (often polyester) | Natural protein fiber |
| Friction on hair | High — snags strands | Low | Lowest — glides |
| Breakage & split ends | More | Fewer | Fewest |
| Moisture | Wicks oils away, dries hair out | Neutral | Keeps your natural oils |
| Temperature | Warms up, traps heat | Can trap heat | Breathable, sleeps cool |
| On skin | Creases & tugs | Gentler | Gentlest, hypoallergenic |
| Feel & longevity | Rougher over time | Smooth, synthetic | Soft, premium, lasts |
The upgrade your hair actually feels.
