Zawadi Silk-Lined Cotton Bonnet – African Print

You’ve put the time into your hair. Let’s help you enjoy it tomorrow, too.

Meet Zawadi, our silk-lined cotton sleep bonnet for curly, coily, wavy and straight hair. Its smooth silk lining helps reduce the overnight friction that can leave you dealing with frizz and tangles by breakfast.

With cotton outside, silk inside and ties you can adjust yourself, Zawadi brings together a bold print and a comfortable bedtime fit. Its medium size has ample capacity, while longer hair, fuller braids and longer dreadlocks may feel more comfortable in a larger bonnet.

Are you frustrated by…

Curls that need refreshing every morning? Waves that wake up tangled? A blow-dry that loses its smooth finish overnight? Or a bonnet band that feels uncomfortable around your edges?

We hear you. And if your hair is colour-treated, thinning or fragile around the hairline, you may be thinking even more carefully about what touches it.

At Curly Comforts, we pay attention to the lining, the space inside and how the band sits. Those details matter just as much as a print you fall in love with.

What you’ll love

• Silk on the inside. Your hair rests against a smooth silk lining, helping reduce friction as you move in your sleep.

• Cotton on the outside. Enjoy a cotton outer with a colourful African print and silk tucked underneath against your strands.

• Two thoughtfully paired layers. We put just as much care into the inside of Zawadi as the outside.

• Less rubbing for your strands. Whether your hair is textured, straight or colour-treated, a smooth surface helps minimise friction overnight.

• A little extra care for yesterday’s styling. From defined curls and soft waves to a sleek blow-dry, Zawadi helps reduce the rubbing that can disturb your style.

• A fit you control. Adjust the ties to sit comfortably around your hairline. If your edges are fragile, give them a little breathing room and avoid tying the band tightly.

• Room to tuck your hair away. Zawadi’s medium fit offers ample capacity, with larger bonnets worth considering for longer or fuller styles.

• Colour worth a closer look. Red-orange shapes, olive tones and pale blue details bring personality to the dark patterned fabric.

Who it’s for

our Frizz Fighters

Wavy hair

Sleek Style Chasers
For anyone hoping to enjoy their smooth finish or fresh blow-dry a little longer.

 our Colour Care Devotees
For those who put care into their colour-treated strands and want a smooth lining against their hair at night.

Thinning hair
For anyone who wants to minimise unnecessary rubbing. Adjust the band gently so it sits comfortably without pulling.

our Edge Care Advocates
For those who need to be thoughtful about pressure around the hairline. Keep the ties comfortably loose and reposition the band if it rubs against a delicate area.

 our Style Savers
For those looking after their protective style between appointments. Choose a bonnet with enough room to hold your braids comfortably.

our Loc Journey Enthusiasts
For those wanting a smooth lining around their locs overnight. Longer or fuller dreadlocks may need a larger bonnet.

Best for

The combination of Cotton and Satin makes our bonnets breathable so if you're a hot sleeper this is the one for you.

Finding your fit

Zawadi is a medium bonnet with ample capacity. Its ties let you adjust the band for a comfortable fit around your hairline.

For longer hair, fuller braids or longer dreadlocks, consider a larger bonnet so your hair has room without being squeezed inside.

If you have thinning hair or compromised edges, prioritise a gentle fit. Loosen the ties if you notice pressure or pulling.
