This is more important to some than to others.  I admit there are probably advantages to using satin pillowcases, etc..(this would apply to anyone, not just AA).  Personally though, I would be too hot if I used satin pillowcases, even silk satin.  I happily use cotton.  Also, I do not give a second thought to wearing cotton, wool, hats, etc...

I think some ppl avoid them like the plague b/c of their rough texture, which has a tendency to snag or pull the hair as well as absorb any moisture from it.  (at least, that's what I heard)

I guess the snagging can get kinda bad when you're sleeping, tossin' and turnin'.

But hey, I still sleep on my cotton sheets.  Don't have much of a choice, silk and satin can cost a pretty penny.

Oh, and when it comes to hats, I don't think it's such a bad thing.  It's not like you're rubbing your head up against it like you were sleeping.

I sleep on whatever...however i cut off a velcro piece off of my coat today. It was in the hood area...to keep the hood tucked into the coat. I had to cut that mug off...when I was relaxed it grabbed my hair and recently (with a head wrap on) it found some hair to grab on to. So off the velcro piece went!

Only 5 bucks, huh?      Hmm.... I guess I'll have to keep that in mind. Thanks Twinkle!

The only sad thing is, I can't sleep on a pillow. lol, guess I better learn, huh?

I like the ones from Bed Bath and Beyond because they zip shut so you don't have to worry about your pillow coming out.  I paid only $5 and I only use one.
