If you’ve been hanging out on my Instagram you probably saw that we basically moved into Ikea last weekend. Which, I think, is just what happens when you go to Ikea.
You’re like, “Oh, I’m just going in for those little white file holder things” {LITERALLY US} and then 2 days, a cinnamon bun and 12 Swedish meatballs later you crawl away with a new set of patio furniture and a hankering to listen to ABBA.
It all started when we decided to Spring clean our lives. I talked about a little bit in my Instagram stories and you guys were very into it so I’ll def do a post on that soon.
THIS weekend was dedicated to the Spring cleaning of my closet, which left a lot of new goodies up on my Poshmark page. But one thing I will NOT be getting rid of is…
My most recent AMAZON obsession.
It’s less than $25 and transforms your hair and skin WHILE YOU SLEEP.
Stop it right now. Except don’t.
I’ve got two words for you:
Silk Pillowcase
I have had my eyes on a silk pillowcase for a very long time. I actually got one for my sister-in-law as a gift 2 years ago because I had been hearing about all these benefits:
Benefits of Sleeping on Silk
- Can help reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles- no more sleep creases!
- Can help hair and skin retain moisture
- Reduces friction on hair and can help reduce the occurrence of split ends and tangles
- Stays cooler than cotton
- Antimicrobial properties found in silk can help reduce symptoms of acne and eczema
But the one I got her was this beauty, and while I really wanted all these benefits, it was much easier for me to spend $79 on someone else than myself. So for the last two years I have been saying “I’ll ask for one for Christmas, for my birthday, I’ll get one for XYZ” blah blah blah UNTIL THE DAY I FOUND THIS
Let me introduce you to the best silk pillowcase for babes on a budget !
This beauty has over 3,700 reviews, 4.5 out of 5 stars and clocks in at under $25 for a 100% Mulberry silk pillowcase. PLUS it’s available for Prime free one-day shipping. So you can decide to improve your life and have it improved as immediately as TOMORROW.
What. Is. Life.
Seriously, I noticed an immediate difference in my hair. My hair tangles extremely easily and, at the moment, is pretty fried at the ends.
I curl my hair most days and it was just standard for me the day after to have to wake up, brush out the kinks from sleeping, and re-curl the whole thing. With the silk pillowcase my style lasts SO MUCH BETTER. I mean, it’s not perfect and I still may redo a curl or two, but I honestly feel like this may be because my hair is damaged. It makes such a difference that if your hair is pretty healthy I think it would hold pretty perfectly.
My hair holds so much more moisture, no more frazzled fried ends. I’m actually embarrassed by how long I’m going in between hair washes now because my style holds so well lol.
I even committed the cardinal sin of going to bed with wet hair the other night (bad!) and I woke up with it looking semi-decent! On my normal cotton pillowcase that would have been a frizz. nightmare.
I am careful to sleep on my back as much as possible, so I don’t typically get skin crease lines, but I imagine as it claims that it would make a great difference there are well.
I also took advantage of the coupon they had listed for a free silk sleep mask with purchase (I can’t sleep without an eye mask) and I LOVE that too! Plus, it was free! Be sure to add the offer on the product page before adding to cart.
Audrey is literally me. And let me tell ya, the ONLY way her hair maintained that shine and her skin stayed that wrinkle free was because she was using a silk pillowcase.
Have you ever used a silk pillowcase? What did you think? Any other tips for de-frizzing hair and maintaining style longer? Let me know!

I’ve heard great things and the benefits of silk pillowcases too. I don’t have a silk pillowcase, however, I do wear a silk hair wrap at night (I wonder if the benefits still apply haha). I’ll need to invest in a silk pillowcase anyway so this one just might do. Thanks for doing this awesome post babe.

Thank you, Gorgeous! I’m sure you get the hair ebenfits form the silk hair wrap- getting the silk pillowcase will give you the skin benefits as well. <3
