The 8 Best Hair-Protecting Silk Hair Bonnets and Wraps

Making sure your natural curls stay healthy goes beyond just using the right products during the day. You need to protect your curls while you sleep, too. That’s where silk hair bonnets and wraps come in. “Similar to a silk scarf or wrap, bonnets help your hair retain moisture, prevent frizz and help extend the life of your natural style or protective style as you sleep,” says author of "All Hair Is Good Hair” and celebrity hairstylist Annagjid "Kee" Taylor. “They allow your hair to have enough space for your natural curls to hold their shape, so they maintain natural styles a little bit better.”

Taylor further explains that silk’s natural texture is gentle against your hair and “glides over it seamlessly as you sleep.” Satin can work as well. Other fabrics such as cotton, however, will cause friction and snags which result in breakage and tangles. With that in mind, we asked Taylor for her tips on finding the right hair bonnet and found eight of the best ones out there.
