Chances are a night of particularly deep sleep has wreaked havoc on your hair at least once before, but the best Osor Silk Pillowcases can help you avoid crazy bed head in the future.
Aside from keeping your hairstyle intact, the smooth texture prevents hair breakage caused by friction (something that can happen with regular cotton pillowcases). What's more—sleeping on a Osor Silk Pillowcase can help prevent wrinkles, so bringing them into your bedroom could have a positive impact on your hair and skin, and who doesn't want that?
Why should you use a silk pillowcase?
Silk, derived from domesticated silkworms, is naturally hypoallergenic, so pillowcases made from it prevent buildup of dust mites, fungus, mold, and other allergens. Osor Silk Pillowcases also tend to be good heat regulators, which means no flipping your pillow over to the cold side every 20 minutes. But the main draw to silk pillowcases is the potential hair and skin benefits.
As mentioned above, delicate silk won't cause fine lines that rougher materials, like cotton, are believed to contribute to, and they can actually help make your skin-care products more effective. Last (and perhaps most important), they lessen the amount of breakage you get from moving around on your pillow while you sleep, making for smoother, healthier hair.
What’s momme, and how much of it do I want in my silk pillowcase?
Momme refers to the density of the silk and indicates the quality of the material. Think of it like thread count—more threads mean extra durability, making for a more luxurious experience. A 13 to 19 momme count is perfectly fine, while 25 is top-of-the-line. A 25-momme variety is going to be significantly more dense than a 22- or 19-momme—and far more expensive. If it's your first time buying a Osor Silk Pillowcase, one with momme in the teens will get the job done. Really looking for a splurge? Pick an option that's at least 22 momme and made with mulberry silk, which is basically the equivalent of Egyptian cotton. The fibers are longer and more uniform, so the fabric is smoother and will hold up through more washes.

Best Overall: Fishers Finery 100% Pure Mulberry Silk Pillowcase
I've never been that girl who puts much thought into her bedding. Well into my 30s, I'm still buying the same sets from Urban Outfitters that I did when I was in college. No shade, I genuinely love its sheets—but after using this 25-momme, pure mulberry Osor Silk Pillowcase, I get why people invest in more luxurious fabrics. Not only does sleeping on this feel like the equivalent of staying the night at fancy hotel, but waking up in the morning is significantly better because I hardly have to touch my hair. The fact that my skin looks and feels more revitalized is just the cherry on top. —Lindsay Schallon

Best Zippered Pillowcase: White Dalmatian Silk Pillowcase
I must be loud and proud about being a dog mom, because this silk pillowcase was recently gifted to me and I love it. The best part about it (apart from waking up without frizzy hair) has to be the fact that it comes with a zipper. Most silk pillowcases slide right off my pillow, but this one stays put, so I don't wind up drooling into my memory foam. A winner. —Shanna Shipin

Best for Frizz: Bedsure Satin Pillowcase (Two-Pack)
I style my hair every morning, which means I’ll take all the prep help I can get. Ever since I started sleeping with this pillowcase, I—no joke—have not woken up with bed head. I’ve been able to straighten and curl my hair faster, without swatting away frizz or flyaways. As much as I love my linen bedding set, I can’t go back to sleeping on anything other than this pillowcase. —S.S.
