There are several ways to protect your hair without a bonnet! The first suggestion is to use a satin pillowcase. It offers all the same moisture retaining properties of a satin bonnet, without the enclosure. And it has benefits for your skin as well. Even if you are sleeping with a bonnet, we also recommend a satin pillowcase as well. Second, another option is a silk or satin scarf. Our scarves are extra large, fitting all head sizes. This helps as it is the beneficial material for your hair, being silk or satin, but you can tie it to secure to your hair.
