Satin night bonnet — wide fit, curls and braids

A bonnet in polyester satin, one size, with a wide elastic band, in black, emerald green or gold. You put it on before sleeping. It covers your hair and replaces direct contact with the pillowcase.

It is a fabric accessory. Nothing more, nothing less.

Designed for curly, tightly curled and coily hair, braids and locs, meaning the hair that suffers most from nighttime friction. It also suits long, straightened or colored hair.

If your hair goes past your shoulders, gather it into a loose bun before putting on the bonnet. The band is wide so it stays in place without squeezing your forehead.

A night is never still. Each time you change position, your hair rubs against the pillowcase. On a smooth fiber, the effect is limited. On a curly or coily fiber, whose scales are naturally more open, the friction snags, lifts the cuticle and breaks the lengths.

Cotton adds a second problem: it absorbs. Sebum, water and the treatments applied in the evening migrate to the pillow instead of staying on the hair.

Satin acts on both points. Its surface lets the hair slide instead of snagging, and polyester barely absorbs anything. It is not a treatment, it is a mechanical barrier.

Both work, and the question comes up often. Here is how to decide, honestly.

The pillowcase takes no effort: once the bed is made, you no longer have to think about it. It also benefits the skin of your face. On the other hand, it only protects what rests on it: as soon as you move, part of your hair ends up back on the sheet or hangs off the pillow. We now sell them, in French sizes 65 × 65 and 50 × 75 cm.

The bonnet follows the head. It also keeps volume and curl definition in place, which a pillowcase does not, and it costs noticeably less. Its drawback: you have to put it on every night, and some people cannot stand having something on their head to sleep.

If you are unsure, start with the bonnet. It is the smallest investment for finding out whether nighttime protection changes anything for you.

You will find a satin bonnet for five euros. The difference comes down to three things you can check on delivery: the width of the elastic band, the finish of the inner seams, and the real size of the bonnet once it is on.

The rest of the price is customer service in French that answers, and a refund with no argument if the item does not suit you.

It does not make hair grow. It does not repair anything. It does not replace any treatment.

What it does: it offers a surface that slides instead of snagging, and it keeps your products on your hair rather than in your pillow. The rest depends on your routine, not on the fabric.

• It is polyester satin. Satin is a weave, not a material. The composition is stated on the product label.
• Free delivery in metropolitan France, €3.90 elsewhere. Delivered to your door in 8 to 15 business days, with a tracking number as soon as it ships.
• One size. It suits the vast majority of adults, but not everyone. For a very large volume of hair, prefer a high bun before putting it on.
• 30-day money-back guarantee from receipt: wear it for real; if it does not suit you, we refund you without you having to send it back. Once per customer, conditions here.
• No stock counter on this site, no limited offer, no fabricated review.

• Long, voluminous hair, braided or in locs → the night bonnet, this page.
• Short cut, waves, flat braids → the long-tail durag.
• You do not want to wear anything on your head to sleep → the satin pillowcase, €29.90 for the two.
• You want satin on the whole bed, not just on the pillow → the satin bedding set, 200 × 200 cm duvet cover, from €54.90. It comes after the bonnet, not in place of it.
• Both at home, or you are undecided → the 3-piece set, at €21.90 instead of €27.80 for the bonnet and the durag bought separately.
• You also want to create curls, with no iron and no heat → the heatless curler, which is worn under this bonnet and not in its place.

No. It is polyester satin. Satin refers to a weave, silk to a material: so you can weave satin from polyester. It is cheaper, it can be machine washed, and it is written on the label. We explained the difference in this article.

Allow 8 to 15 business days in metropolitan France from the moment your payment is confirmed. You receive the confirmation immediately, then a tracking number as soon as it ships.

Because our items do not ship from a French warehouse. That is exactly what makes this bonnet possible at €13.90 rather than €30. The day we hold stock in France, the delivery time will drop and the price will go up: we chose the other balance, and we write it before you pay rather than after.

If it is placed correctly, yes. The band should rest on the nape of your neck, not too far back, and the volume should be spread in the center. If it still falls off, write to us: the size may not be right.

Yes, but it is not essential. The pillowcase covers what sticks out of the bonnet and protects the skin of your face; the bonnet holds the volume. If you can only take one, take the one that suits your hair — the section above helps you decide.

Yes. The curler gives the shape, the bonnet keeps the pillow from undoing it and stops the setup from moving during the night. The curler is here, at €10.90.

Yes. Many people use it at home after a treatment, to let it work without their hair trailing everywhere, or simply to protect a hairstyle between two outings.

Damp, yes. Soaking wet, no: satin does not absorb, so the water stays trapped against the scalp and it ends up smelling. Wring out and let it dry for the most part before covering.

Silk is a natural fiber, noticeably more expensive and more delicate to care for. On friction and absorption, both materials do the job. If you are looking for high-end, buy silk from someone who states the momme. We sell the budget option, and we say so in writing.

Not yet. The store has just opened and we will not make any up. How we collect and publish them is explained on the Our review policy page.

By hand in lukewarm water with a mild soap, or machine wash at 30 °C in a mesh bag. Air dry. Do not iron the satin directly.

You write to us within 30 days of receipt and we refund you. No lengthy form, no proof to provide, and no need to send the bonnet back: once worn, it could not be resold anyway. We would rather give a refund than have an unhappy customer who stays silent. The conditions fit in a few lines.
