If you’ve ever run your hand across a real mulberry silk pillowcase, you’ll already know there’s something special about it. It’s cool, soft, and instantly soothing. MYRN Silk uses 100% 25 momme mulberry silk, which gives all our products a smooth, luxurious finish that feels beautiful on your hair and skin.
Let’s talk about the benefits of silk on hair, the benefits of silk for skin, and why MYRN silk pillowcases, scrunchies and eye masks can become part of your own personal sleep and natural well-being ritual.
Why does silk work so well for hair and skin?
With silk, it’s all about quality and texture. Pure mulberry silk has a naturally smooth surface that helps reduce the friction you get from other fabrics. Less dragging, less pulling, especially overnight when we’re moving around in our sleep.
Silk is also less absorbent than fabrics like cotton, meaning it won’t draw moisture away from your hair or skin as you sleep. Many people love this because their skin and hair feel softer and more comfortable in the morning.
And because silk doesn’t hold onto moisture in the same way as thicker, heavier fabrics, it naturally stays fresher and feels cleaner for longer — something that can make your bedtime routine feel just that bit more luxurious.
You can honestly feel the difference the first night you sleep on it.
Benefits of silk for hair
1. A smoother surface for smoother mornings
Silk helps hair glide rather than snag, reducing tangle and breakage as you sleep. Silk creates bed-hair you’ll love in the morning - it’s gentler and easier to brush through, perfect for running out of the house with little time to spare.
2. Curly hair absolutely loves silk
Curly and textured hair responds beautifully to silk because a silk pillowcase helps curls keep their natural shape while you sleep. Silk scrunchies won’t pull at delicate strands or cause friction which leads to that dreaded frizz.
3. Helps hair feel more hydrated
Silk doesn’t absorb moisture in the same way as cotton - silk supports you to retain the natural oils your hair already has. Many people find their hair feels softer in the morning.
4. Suitable for all ages
Silk works for any age. I found this to be particularly true with my daughters’ gorgeous thick hair, which would always be matted at the back in the morning. She started sleeping with silk because she loved how it felt and it did wonders for her tangles.
Benefits of silk on your skin
1. A soft, luxurious feeling against the skin
Silk pillowcases and eye masks are naturally breathable and smooth, making them a comfortable option while you sleep - MYRN Silk eye masks are filled with pure mulberry silk, ensuring maximum breathability and comfort. Silk helps regulate your temperature, keeping you feeling cool at night and feeling fresh when you wake up.
2. Helps skin feel more hydrated
Because silk doesn’t draw moisture or products away from the skin, many people find sleeping on silk to lead to more refreshed feeling skin in the morning.
3. A comfortable choice for even sensitive sleepers
Silk isn’t scratchy or heavy - it’s smooth and luxurious and can benefit people who prefer a more gentle touch or are prone to skin irritation. My son loves how silk feels and he’s always been so hard to please when finding the right pillowcase to keep him comfortable at night.
4. Feels fresh for longer
Silk doesn’t hold onto moisture in the same way thicker fabrics can, making it naturally less prone to the build-up that leads to musty scents or a “damp fabric” feeling. This makes silk pillowcases feel fresh - I’ve even noticed my hair now stays cleaner for longer.
5. MYRN Silk is free from harmful chemicals
MYRN Silk fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, which means our silk fabric and the elements used to create our products are certified as free from any harmful chemicals. Making them perfect for all the family to enjoy.
Why pure mulberry silk matters
Not all silk is equal. MYRN Silk products are made with pure 25 momme mulberry silk, which is known for its smoothness, durability, long-lasting shine and consistent quality.
You really can feel the difference the moment you touch it.
