I ordered these lovely, silky looking shams to use as actual pillow cases in hopes of taming my 75yr old, lower back length hair. If I don’t twistsecure on top of my head before retiring, I awake looking like I’ve been through a hurricane! I have mixed feelings as to the result. My hair IS less mussed, but the sham wrinkles really bad when used in this manner. I think they would be more suited for their original purpose dressing the bed.
