If you’re anything like me, you will jump onto any new trend that is said to transform the hair and skin! Besides an overnight hair mask, I hadn’t heard of any other hair care that could take place overnight. So, the idea of having skin care and hair care that requires literally nothing besides a single purchase, was very intriguing! I couldn’t wait to get a silk and silver pillowcase in my hands.
I wanted to see if a cooling, frictionless silk pillowcase with anti-microbial silver would help with my hair health and acne. Here’s what I discovered.
Years of Acne and Hair Problems
I am one who has struggled with acne since being an early teen. I’ve been through what feels like every possible skin cycle. It was at its worst around puberty at 13, cleared up around 16 after taking a prescribed medication, then came back in my late teens and early twenties! It cleared up once again when I was on birth control (the “pregnancy” glow is real!), and now, one final time, it has come back with a vengeance now that I’m off hormonal therapy.
With all that being said, you’ve probably assumed I’ve tried almost every product over the years, and you are correct! From Clean and Clear in the early 2010’s to the TikTok viral La Roche-Posay, I have tried it all. And I will likely continue to do so for years to come. I always want the best treatment that’s on the market!
Then, there’s hair care! This one is significantly newer to me. I’ve only been interested and invested into hair care for around 3 years. Why the sudden intrigue you might ask? As many others have, I have gone through a couple phases of blonde as a born brunette. Both times, I went as blonde as blonde can get. Did I love it? I loved every second of it. Did I pay the ultimate price for it? I absolutely did. Maintaining blonde as a brunette meant getting my roots bleached every 6 weeks.
Over the course of 1-2 years of bleaching, my hair would get to the point of being so broken and brittle that I had to do a full chop and basically start over (I have always had long hair, so chopping my hair is not an easy decision to make). Nonetheless, it is a necessary decision if I want to have remotely healthy-looking hair. This led me to my journey of learning how to best care for my hair, whether it’s being colored or if it’s grown out of virgin hair.
Here’s What I Tried – Dosaze 100% Mulberry Silk & Silver Pillowcase
After doing the research, I found the Dosaze Mulberry Silk & Silver Pillowcase. Essentially, the Dosaze pillowcase combines the softness of silk with anti-microbial fibers. This can help hair health since there isn’t any heat or friction while I sleep. Also, silk is naturally better for your skin since it doesn’t hold on to oil in the same way that cotton or other types of fabrics do.
Dosaze uses 100% Mulberry silk, which is often considered the highest quality silk in the world (it comes from the Morus Alba tree).
Here is what I liked so much about it:
- Cooling
- Hypoallergenic
- Good for skin & hair
- Silver infused fabric
- 60-night sleep trial
- First-time discount
- 3-year warranty
- Free shipping
- Hidden zipper closure
- High thread count
The Verdict: Healthier Hair, Less Breakage & Frizz
I definitely noticed a difference after sleeping on my new silk and silver pillowcase. The biggest thing I was expecting was less tug on the hair and skin, and on that it delivered! I toss and turn all night long so usually I have a lot of hair that has been pulled out of the low ponytail that I sleep in.
Tugging on the hair like this often leads to breakage, so I was ecstatic when I noticed a significantly reduced amount of hair that was pulled out of my ponytail. The picture on the left is my hair after a full night’s sleep on my cotton pillowcase, and on the right was my first night using my silk and silver pillowcase after a full night’s sleep. I literally couldn’t believe it!
The Verdict: A Noticeable Skin Difference
I also loved the feeling of the pillowcase on my skin. After long term use, I could see how this would help with anti-aging as my skin didn’t bunch up and wrinkle when I laid on my side (I’m a chronic side sleeper). I also noticed that my skin didn’t stick to the pillow after applying my nightly skincare. This gave me the peace of mind knowing that the Dosaze pillowcase wasn’t soaking up all my product or even the bacteria that would build up on my face overnight.
As far as my acne, can I say this pillowcase was the cure to my acne? Of course not, not yet at least, as any avid skincare user knows that it takes months to see final results from new products that you introduce. But, I did notice my skin was slightly clearer! I can’t wait to see what months of using this pillowcase will do.
My Conclusion
A silk and silver pillowcase seemed like the perfect addition to my routine as it is passive care that takes place all night, every night! Before silk and silver pillowcases became a thing, I had no idea that my cotton pillowcase had the potential to wreak so much havoc on my skin and hair. Healthline shares that “The friction from cotton on pimple-prone skin can create more inflammation, making acne worse.
Cotton also sops up the natural oil and bacteria from your face and hair, and that grime accumulates on your case night after night, creating a petri dish out of your pillow.” These were the words of an actual nightmare to me. I have extremely oily skin, so oily you could probably see your reflection in my face after a night of sleep. So the thought of all that building up in my pillowcase over multiple nights was a horrifying realization.
My recommendation would be, if you have any interest in hair care or skin care, give the Dosaze pillowcase a try! My hair seems smoother and less damaged and my skin is starting to clear. This, all with only two weeks of using my silk and silver pillowcase. At this rate, I’ll have transformative results in just a few weeks to come!
I highly recommend that everyone try the Dosaze Silk & Silver Pillow!
