Mulberry Silk Bonnet for Hair Silk sleep trio / Black
Waking up, with or without a silk bonnet
No bonnet
With the bonnet
Drag the slider. On the left, a night without a bonnet: frizz and tangles. On the right, a night in the silk bonnet: curls keep their shape.
Why sleep in a silk bonnet?
At night, your hair rubs against the pillowcase. Cotton catches the fibre and absorbs some of the moisture in your hair: when you wake, it is tangled, dry or flattened.
Silk is smooth: hair glides over it instead of rubbing. The bonnet keeps it gathered while you sleep, without crushing curls or a blow-dry.
Silk sleep bonnet: which hair types?
One size, ribbons to tie at the nape: you adjust it to your head and your night-time hairstyle.
Curly and coily hair
Gathered in a pineapple under the bonnet, curls are less flattened when you wake.
Afro hair, braids and locs
The bonnet is roomy: it holds braids and locs. For the longest ones, make a low bun first.
Long, straightened or coloured hair
A loose plait or a low bun under the bonnet: fewer tangles when you wake and a blow-dry that lasts longer.
Short hair, for her and for him
The ribbons adjust the bonnet to short hair as well as long; it suits women and men alike.

Satin is a weave, most often in polyester. Mulberry silk is a natural fibre: smooth like satin, it breathes like cotton.

Caring for silk
A few simple steps keep silk soft and lustrous.
Do
- Hand wash at 30 °C maximum, with a silk detergent or a mild shampoo.
- Rinse in cold water, then press the bonnet in a towel.
- Dry flat, in the shade.
- A wash every one to two weeks is enough.
Avoid
- Tumble dryers and bleach.
- Twisting or wringing silk.
- Drying in direct sun: it dulls the colours.
- A hot iron: if needed, use the silk setting, inside out.

Silk bonnet: frequently asked questions
Is it good to sleep in a silk bonnet?
Is it good to sleep in a silk bonnet?
Yes. The bonnet keeps your hair gathered, away from the cotton pillowcase that catches the fibre. On silk, hair glides: fewer tangles when you wake, less flattened curls and a blow-dry that lasts longer.
Silk or satin bonnet: which to choose?
Silk or satin bonnet: which to choose?
Satin is a weave, most often in polyester: it is smooth, but breathes poorly and can feel hot at night. Mulberry silk is a natural fibre, soft and breathable. Satin costs less; silk is nicer to wear every night.
How do you recognise real silk?
How do you recognise real silk?
To the touch, silk is soft and warms up quickly in your hand. The burn test on a thread settles it: silk smells of burnt hair and leaves an ash that crumbles; polyester melts into a small hard bead and smells of plastic. The label gives the composition: look for “mulberry silk”.
Does the bonnet stay on all night?
Does the bonnet stay on all night?
The wide band and the ribbons hold it in place. First gather all your hair inside, then tie the ribbons at the nape with a double knot, not too tight. A well-fitted bonnet moves less.
Is it suitable for curly, coily, afro hair or braids?
Is it suitable for curly, coily, afro hair or braids?
Yes. Gather curls in a pineapple on top of your head, or braids in a loose bun, then put on the bonnet. For very long braids or locs, make a low bun first.
How do you wash a silk bonnet?
How do you wash a silk bonnet?
By hand, at 30 °C maximum, with a silk detergent or a mild shampoo. Rinse in cold water without wringing, press it in a towel, then dry it flat in the shade. No tumble dryer or bleach. A wash every one to two weeks is enough.
Can men wear a silk bonnet?
Can men wear a silk bonnet?
Yes. The bonnet is unisex, one size, and adjusts with the ribbons: it suits short hair as well as long or curly hair.
How long does delivery take?
How long does delivery take?
About 2 weeks in France, with tracking. Delivery is free from 49 € spent in France and the European Union, so from the bonnet alone. The trio, or the bonnet ordered with the pillowcase or the mask, may arrive in several parcels, a few days apart.
What size bonnet should I choose?
What size bonnet should I choose?
The ORVOVA bonnet is one size. Its wide band and ribbons let you adjust the hold without compressing your head. It suits short and long hair alike, and can be worn on straightened, curly or braided hair. If you are hesitating, choose the colour that goes with your pillowcase.
Does a silk bonnet make you sweat?
Does a silk bonnet make you sweat?
Mulberry silk is a natural fibre, more breathable than a synthetic weave. The bonnet stays light and does not cover the face. If you get very hot at night, wear it without tightening the ribbons and air the room.
Can I sleep in a silk bonnet every night?
Can I sleep in a silk bonnet every night?
Yes, that is what it is made for. Wear it every night so your hair always rests on the same smooth material. Wash it by hand every one to two weeks, at 30 °C maximum, and leave it to dry flat in the shade.
Does a silk bonnet damage hair?
Does a silk bonnet damage hair?
No. Mulberry silk is smooth: hair glides over it instead of rubbing against the cotton of the pillow, which catches the fibre. It is this friction that creates knots and breaks the ends. The bonnet limits this friction, provided you do not tighten the ribbons and do not pull on your hair when taking it off.
How do I wear the bonnet with long hair?
How do I wear the bonnet with long hair?
Gather your hair loosely, in a soft braid or a low bun, then slip it into the bonnet. Tie the ribbons at the nape of the neck, without compression. The bonnet should stay in place without leaving marks. When you wake up, take it off gently, without pulling, so as not to break the lengths.
Mulberry silk, satin or cotton: what changes at night
| Criterion | Mulberry silk (ORVOVA) | Satin | Cotton |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type of material | Natural animal fibre | A weave, often polyester | Plant fibre |
| Glide on hair | Yes, the fibre is smooth | Yes, the weave is smooth | No, the fibre catches |
| Knots and breakage in the morning | Limited by the glide | Limited by the glide | Encouraged by friction |
| Breathability | Good, natural fibre | Variable, often low when synthetic | Good |
| Feeling of warmth | Light, pleasant in summer | Warmer in synthetic versions | Neutral |
| Care | Hand wash, 30 °C maximum, dry flat in the shade | Often machine wash, more forgiving | Machine wash, very forgiving |
| Entry price | 49 € the bonnet | Generally cheaper | The cheapest |
| Recommended use | All night, daily use | Occasional use | At night, but rubs the hair |
Satin and cotton remain valid alternatives. ORVOVA chose mulberry silk for its three night pieces: a natural, smooth and breathable fibre, designed for daily use.
Choosing your silk bonnet
One size, three colours, one bonnet for every head of hair
The ORVOVA bonnet is one size. Its wide band and ribbons let you adjust the hold without compressing your head. It suits short and long hair alike. Three colours: black, the most understated; champagne, a luminous beige; dusty pink, a discreet pink. These shades also come on the eye mask and the pillowcase, to make up a matching set.
Mulberry silk: how to recognise it
The bonnet is made of mulberry silk, a natural fibre. To tell it apart from a synthetic weave, read our guide mulberry silk: how to recognise it, and our comparison silk or satin.
With the pillowcase and the mask
To complete the night, the 50 × 70 silk pillowcase brings mulberry silk under your head. The blackout silk eye mask can be worn at the same time as the bonnet, in matching colours.

Silk bonnet for hair: what is it for?
The silk bonnet protects your hair at night. It keeps it gathered and away from the cotton pillowcase, which catches the fibre. On silk, hair glides instead of rubbing: it tangles less and keeps its shape until morning. It suits curly, long, straightened or coloured hair. Breakage and shedding are not the same thing: our article brittle hair or hair fall helps you tell the difference.
How to choose a silk bonnet
Look at the material first: “mulberry silk”, not just “satin”. Silk weight is measured in momme: the higher the number, the denser the fabric. Next comes the fastening: ribbons adjust to every head, where an elastic can squeeze or mark the forehead. Finally the volume: a round, roomy bonnet holds short hair as well as long; for very long braids or locs, make a low bun first.
Silk satin: what the word means
Satin is a weave, not a material. A silk satin is woven from silk threads: it is silk, with the sheen of satin. A bonnet sold simply as “satin” is most often polyester. The Orvova bonnet is made of mulberry silk.
