Hairburst Mulberry Silk Pillowcase review

The Hairburst Silk Pillow is made from extremely high-quality silk, which ensures it feels luxurious to touch and sleep on and the fabric is breathable too. The smooth surface of the pillow means your hair won't suffer from as much friction like it would with a cotton pillow. This friction can often be the cause of damage, split ends and drying out your hair too.

Not only does the silk pillowcase benefit your hair though, your skin will also benefit too. The silk design helps skin maintain moisture, sleep creases are prevented, puffiness is reduced and it can also benefit rosacea thanks to the smooth surface.

Hair benefits

Lessens the chance of hair damage and fall because of all of the moving we do when we sleep we can actually damage the hair follicle, which leads us to have frizzy hair and dull locks. The silk pillowcase allows you to move easily across the pillowcase and helps to reduce the chance of breakage, split ends and hair fall out too.

The silk pillowcase also helps you to maintain the moisture levels of your hair, as it doesn't absorb the natural moisture from your hair like a cotton one would. This means there's less chance of waking with hair that looks frizzy and lifeless and is full of static too.

Skin benefits

Helps your skin retain its moisture levels as the silk won't draw moisture from the skin or your skincare products like normal pillowcases do. Using a silk pillowcase is also beneficial to helping to prevent cotton creases on your skin, and helping to reduce puffiness too.

Retains hydration – skin that lacks moisture appears dull, flaky and is prone to fine lines and wrinkles. Silk doesn’t draw moisture out of your skin or from your skincare products like pillowcases do. Silk will also prevent morning creases on your skin and will help to reduce puffiness.

Pros

Luxurious, comfortable, wake up without creases on the skin, hair feels softer, doesn’t draw out moisture

Cons

It doesn’t match our bedding, but it’s something we can definitely get over because of the benefits

Bottom line

Sleep is nature’s most powerful beauty treatment and possibly the most important hair and anti-ageing regime. In fact, alongside seven to eight hours sleep our hair, face and body products are most effective when we are asleep.

But how do you prevent that morning creased face and bed hair? It’s time to trade in that old cotton pillowcase and invest in the Hairburst Mulberry Silk Pillow – beauty sleep’s secret weapon for keeping our blow-dries perfect and our skin ultra-soft and youthful.

The HairBurst pillow might not match our current decor, it comes in a plain white design with luxuriously embroidered logo in the corner, but you’ll soon forget that when you sleep on it.

The pillow is comfortable and feels lovely on your skin, you’ll notice in the morning that your hair looks better than usual and your skin doesn’t have the tell-tale creases of sleeping on your side or your front – which we know we shouldn’t do, but it’s just a lot more comfortable.

These are a little pricey, considering you only get one pillow, but you, your hair and your skin will be happy you made the investment once you’ve put back some ZZZ’s whilst on it.
