In this case, you get what you pay for.
My hair is straight and very fine. Now that I have it below shoulder length it gets tangled easily when I sleep, so I started looking at these silk caps. I get warm at night so I wanted something breathable.<br /><br />All of the other silk caps that cost less are only one layer with the shiny side out, so the less smooth layer is what is in contact with your hair. This one is double layer and it’s shiny and very smooth inside and out. It keeps my hair tangle-free.<br /><br />The less expensive caps had lots of reviews that said they were kind of small and wouldn’t hold a lot of hair. I don’t have a lot of hair but it’s long and I have room to spare with this cap. If I want to set my hair with rag curlers this will cover my head.<br /><br />There’s no elastic in contact with my hair. The cap has a silk drawstring completely covered by the casing. I can tie it tight enough so it doesn’t come off while I’m sleeping. The cap is so smooth I just slip it off in the morning. It can be a little hard to loosen the drawstring because the silk tie grips itself but I gently loosen it with my fingers or the end of a rattail comb.<br /><br />It comes with a nice silk pouch to store it in.<br /><br />Initially I balked at paying $30 for this, but then I figured I might buy three of the $10 ones and still not have something I’m completely happy with. This cap does the job and with proper care will last a long time.
