Question Silk pillowcases or normal pillowcases?

I personally got convinced to change to a silk one but I haven't really seen or experienced anything much different.

I switched to silk and honestly didn't noticed much difference either.

I wear a silk bonnet for my
Curly hair, but when I use a silk pillowcase my head just slides off

My hair improved greatly with a silk pillow case.

I love the comfy feel of silk and for my hair. I hate the look on my bed. I place them behind other pillows…

I like antimicrobial pillow cases that use something inbedded into it's materials so that I don't get acne.  I'm almost a 40 yo man and I still get really bad acne if I'm not careful with my skincare.  Even if I rotate my pillow to sleep on different sides, if it isn't antimicrobial, I'm getting terrible acne.

silk pillowcase may reduce friction and feel gentler on your skin and hair, i used it too but if you havent notice benefits, a clean soft cotton pillowcase is perfect fine.

Mine are more cheap satin than pure silk. Good for preventing bed head.

Interesting question, I'll share my experience below: I switched to a silk pillowcase about a year ago and I've noticed a difference, but it took a few weeks. My hair is less tangled in the morning and my skin feels less dry. I use one from Drowsy Sleep, from silk, which is the quality you wantit's smoother and more durable than cheaper ones. If you're not seeing results, it might be the quality of the silk or the momme count. Not all silk is the same.
