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.

Three silk pieces that work while you sleep.

The & moon Silk Haircare Set contains a silk pillowcase, a silk hair bonnet, and a silk scrunchie — the three points of contact between your hair and silk during a night's sleep. Used together, they significantly reduce the friction that causes frizz, breakage, and the particular kind of morning-hair chaos that takes twenty minutes to undo.

The science behind it is straightforward: cotton and polyester are rough at a fibre level, and that roughness creates friction against hair strands while you move in your sleep. Silk's smooth surface doesn't. It also doesn't absorb moisture the way cotton does, so your hair retains its natural oils overnight.

This works for all hair types. It's particularly effective for colour-treated, bleached, or heat-damaged hair, which is more vulnerable to friction damage.

What's included:

1 x silk pillowcase (51 x 66cm, zipper closure, available in champagne and cream)
1 x silk hair bonnet (one size fits all)
1 x silk scrunchie (one size fits all)

FAQ — Silk Hair Bonnet, Silk Pillowcase & Haircare Set

What is a silk hair bonnet and what does it do? A silk hair bonnet is a soft cap worn while you sleep to protect your hair from friction. Unlike a cotton pillowcase, which creates friction that causes frizz, breakage, and disrupted curl patterns, a silk bonnet keeps hair smooth and contained regardless of how you move during sleep. It's particularly effective for curly, coily, bleached, or heat-styled hair.

Is a silk pillowcase actually worth it? Yes — the difference is measurable. A 100% mulberry silk pillowcase reduces friction on hair overnight, which means less frizz, fewer split ends, and less moisture loss. The improvement is most noticeable within the first week. It also creates less friction against skin, which is why silk pillowcases are recommended by dermatologists for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Should I use a silk hair bonnet or a silk pillowcase? Both — they work differently. A silk pillowcase protects your hair when you sleep on your back or side. A silk bonnet protects your hair regardless of sleep position and keeps styled hair (blowouts, braids, protective styles) intact overnight. The & moon Silk Haircare Set includes both, plus a scrunchie, so you're covered either way.

What's included in the Silk Haircare Set? A 100% mulberry silk pillowcase, a silk hair bonnet, and a silk scrunchie. All three are made from real silk — not polyester satin. The set is $74.99 AUD, which is significantly less than buying each piece separately.

Is the silk hair bonnet one size fits all? Yes. The bonnet has an elasticated edge that comfortably fits most head sizes. It works for short hair, long hair, and natural/protective styles.

Does a silk pillowcase help with skin as well as hair? Yes. Silk creates less friction against skin than cotton, which reduces sleep lines and is gentler on sensitive or acne-prone skin. Unlike cotton, it doesn't absorb your skincare products overnight.

Is this a good gift? It presents well and has a broad audience — anyone with hair benefits from reduced friction during sleep. It works as a birthday, Mother's Day, Christmas, or bridesmaid gift. Free gift note included with every order.
