How to get the best results from your bonnet
(If you haven't yet, check out the post about what to expect in the first 7 days of owning your bonnet.)
Following on that post, in order to get the maximum benefits from your bonnets:
1. Ensure your bonnet fits well
- Not too tight on the edges - too much tension can cause thinning edges.
- Doesn’t slide off easily.
- Fully covers your hair
Check out our variety of bonnet styles. If you purchase a bonnet and it doesn't suit, we offer refunds.
2. Keep your night routine simple
- Use a lightweight moisturizer (optional)
- Avoid heavy oils that can weigh hair down
- Detangle gently
- Put hair in loose braids or a pineapple if needed
I currently have short hair which is dyed black and I use a leave in conditioner to combat dryness sometimes caused by hair dyes.
3. Pair Your Bonnet With Soft Styling
- Avoid pulling edges tightly
- Use satin scrunchies instead of elastic
- Keep manipulation low during the week
4. Wash Your Bonnet Regularly
If worn nightly:
- Silk: gentle wash every 1–2 weeks
- Satin: weekly or more frequently depending on product use
With these easy care tips, your bonnet, scalp and hair will thank you.
