Often times, I forget to don my satin scarf before going to bed. I’ve abandoned my satin bonnet because I wake up with headaches most mornings or it slips off my head, I only remember it when I have protective styles that involve ‘big hair’. So far, I haven’t found anywhere to buy satin pillow slips for regular-sized pillows and I keep postponing going to the market to have one sewn for me.
The next best thing is this satin pillow cover which is the easiest thing to make. Sleeping with a satin scarf/bonnet/pillow slip helps to protect your hair especially your edges from constant friction with cotton or other materials which can lead to frizz and breakage.
What I Used
- Satin scarf
- Pillow with pillow case
How To
- Drape your satin scarf over the pillow.
- Turn over and tie the two upper and lower ends into knots.
- Sleep.

This might be cheaper than buying a satin pillowcase, some cost $8-20 dollars depending on the store. Good idea!

Nice. I don’t even bother with protecting my hair with a scarf or bonnet but when I do, I throw on a very big satin skirt on my pillow before sleeping.

Smart idea! I usually just drape the scarf over the pillow, but it makes much more sense to actually tie it underneath!
