Bamboo Pillowcases

A bamboo pillowcase gives your hair and skin a smoother surface to rest against for roughly a third of every day. Cotton draws moisture out of your strands and creates friction every time you move in your sleep, and that is where a lot of overnight frizz, tangling and breakage begins.

Every BetterBe pillowcase is made from 100% bamboo fabric and handmade in Berlin. We chose bamboo as a vegan alternative to silk: naturally smooth, breathable, plant-based, and far easier to look after than silk.

Bamboo or silk for a pillowcase?

Silk is the traditional recommendation and it does reduce friction, but it is animal-derived, delicate to wash and expensive. Bamboo is just as smooth against hair, regulates moisture rather than simply resisting it, and stays breathable on warm nights. It is also naturally hypoallergenic, which matters if your skin reacts easily.

Who a bamboo pillowcase is for

A bamboo pillowcase suits you if you wake with frizz or flattened curls, if your ends feel dry and rough, if you get sleep creases on your skin, or if you sleep warm and find silk stifling. It works for curly, wavy, textured, fine, long and colour-treated hair.

Build the full sleep ritual

A pillowcase protects your hair on the nights you skip a bonnet, or when a bonnet slips off while you sleep. For the most protection, pair it with a bamboo bonnet and a bamboo scrunchie.
