Is this real silk or silk-feel?

Real silk. 100% Vietnamese mulberry silk, crepe satin weave, 19 momme. The fabric content is on the garment label. To verify at home: pull a single thread from an inside seam and hold it to a flame. Silk burns slowly, smells like singed hair, and leaves crushable ash. Polyester melts and leaves a hard plastic bead.

What does 19 momme mean?

Momme is the density measure for silk — how much silk is woven into a square metre. 19 momme is ideal for sleepwear: heavy enough to drape beautifully and last, light enough to sleep comfortably in. Under 12 momme is delicate and prone to snagging. Over 25 starts to feel formal rather than wearable.

How do I care for it?

Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent, or machine wash on delicate in a mesh bag. Lay flat to dry — never wring, never tumble dry. Iron on the lowest silk setting with a cloth between the iron and the fabric if needed.

What size should I order?

Our silk slips run true to size. The straps are adjustable. If you're between sizes, size up — silk drapes better with a little ease.

Does silk really make a difference for sleep?

Yes. Silk doesn't strip moisture from your skin overnight the way cotton does. It creates almost no friction against your hair, which reduces breakage and frizz. And unlike polyester, it breathes — regulating your temperature instead of trapping heat against your skin.

Crepe satin combines the drape and sheen of satin with a slightly more textured surface than standard charmeuse. The result looks refined rather than shiny — more wearable, less costume-y. It's the weave used across all & moon silk slips.

Your hair, protected. Regardless of how you sleep.

A silk hair bonnet is more consistent than a pillowcase alone because it keeps your hair protected no matter which way you move during the night. It's particularly effective for protecting blowouts (a bonnet can extend a blowout by several days), braids and protective styles, and natural hair that dries out easily overnight.

The & moon bonnet is 100% mulberry silk — the same material as our pillowcases. One size fits most.

FAQ — Silk Hair Bonnet Australia

What does a silk hair bonnet do? A silk hair bonnet protects your hair from friction while you sleep. Unlike a cotton pillowcase, which creates friction that causes frizz and breakage, a silk bonnet keeps hair smooth and contained regardless of sleep position. It's particularly effective for curly, coily, bleached, or heat-styled hair.

Is a silk hair bonnet better than a silk pillowcase? They work differently. A silk pillowcase protects hair when you sleep on your back or side. A silk bonnet protects hair regardless of sleep position — better for people who move a lot during sleep, or who want to protect blowouts, braids, or natural styles. Many people use both. The Silk Haircare Set includes a bonnet, pillowcase, and scrunchie for $74.99.

Does a silk hair bonnet work for all hair types? Yes — straight, wavy, curly, coily, and natural hair all benefit from reduced friction overnight. It's especially effective for colour-treated or heat-damaged hair, which is more vulnerable to mechanical damage.

Does the bonnet stay on through the night? Yes — the elasticated edge holds through movement without being tight enough to leave a mark. Most people find it stays on reliably throughout the night.

Can a silk bonnet extend a blowout? Yes. Wrapping a blowout in a silk bonnet before sleep significantly reduces frizz and flattening. Most people find it extends a blowout by 2–3 days compared to sleeping on a cotton pillowcase.
