Unlike multiple fabrics that caress your hair day and night, silk optimizes the health of your hair. It has multiple benefits:

  • Optimal hydration : silk is “hydrophobic”, unlike cotton or linen, silk does not absorb water and therefore does not dehydrate the hair. Moreover, this fabric does not “drink” the care applied during your night beauty routine either.
  • Brilliant shine : since the silk does not drink the water from the hair fiber, the hair remains shiny. No more dull and dehydrated hair!
  • Anti-breakage, anti-fork, Anti fall : thanks to its extreme softness, the hair glides over the silk, limiting excessive friction. Your hair is therefore less damaged. Silk thus reduces breakage, split ends and hair loss.
