These 7 Silky Headpieces Are So Pretty, You'll Want To Wear Them Everywhere

Sleeping on a silk pillowcase or covering your tresses with a silk wrap or bonnet is a must to keep the hair hydrated, frizz-free, and the split ends away. This practice is especially important for natural hair depending on your hair type because breakage and snapping ends can run rampant without moisture and the right nighttime headgear.

As I was prepping to write this article, I thought to myself: I can't remember not wearing a bonnet or a scarf to bed. My sister still has her green printed scarf from our cheerleading days in the 90's. I guess it's safe to say our wraps and bonnets become more than just a means to keep our hair protected or our hairstyle from budging — they're a security blanket, too.

While scarves and bonnets are exclusively known for being worn in the house (at least in my household), designers are finding ways to normalize the wearing of headwraps, scarves, and even bonnet-esque turbans beyond our bedrooms.

They are offering up options in everything from traditional African print to gold lamé.

For many, it is a stretch to wear fabric on our heads outside of the home. Black women are criticized for wearing our culture proudly until it becomes in vogue when white celebrities and fashion designers send it down the red carpet or runway. So, I understand the apprehension.

But, hey, even if you aren't quite ready to rock a fly wrap out on the town, who says you can't wake up from your slumber feeling like a queen. This collection of wraps and bonnets will keep your hair healthy and in style.
