GENERAL
At SILKE London we only use the finest 100% silk, and nothing else will do. This is because, not only is the surface of silk completely smooth, to ensure your delicate hair cuticles glide safely under its protection, but it is also far less absorbent than other materials too - so it won’t strip away precious moisture and natural oils from your hair like cotton or synthetic satins will!
SILKE HAIR WRAP FAQ
STEP 1
Arrange and hold your hair in place so it's easy for you to scoop into your SILKE Hair Wrap, releasing locks into the silk cocoon as it slides on. We like to twist ours up into a bun at the crown of our head to deliver a subtle wave come morning. But there are many different ways to put your hair up so it looks great when you let it back down.
STEP 2
Be sure to tuck all your hair within your wrap so the elasticated silk edge is completely covering your hairline and the tip of your ears, this will ensure it sits tight, protecting and nourishing your locks all through the night.
A word from Maria:
“Before you invested in your SILKE Hair Wrap your hair may well have been dehydrated and gasping for love. So whilst SILKE quenches your hairs thirst; distributing hair oils evenly from root to tip, you may still experience a couple of bedhead-esque kinks.
If you do, simply run some warm air through your hair and these will easily fall out. You’ll notice that within a couple of weeks your mane will be stronger, re-hydrated and supple, with the buoyancy it needs to kick those kinks out of bed, permanently.”
The SILKE Hair Wrap is for EVERYONE. Whether your hair is short or long, curly, coils or straight, thin or thick The SILKE Hair Wrap is designed to improve the health of all hair types.

Whilst sleeping on a silk pillowcase is great for your skin, it doesn’t have the same overnight conditioning effect of The SILKE Hair Wrap. The SILKE Hair Wrap cocoons hair, encasing your precious natural forming oils rather than allowing them be lost on your pillow.

Oils are no longer concentrated at the roots, so greasy hair days are few and far between – lessening the need to wash!
