I just bought 2 new silk scarves to add to my one lol,, i was just wondering,, is it good to wear a silk scarf all the time or just for bed,, becuz ive read thats its good to let the scalp breathe,, also ive noticed that mine get a little rough right after i wash them and dont soften u till theyve been on my head for a while... ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends! I am hair OBSESSED |

I sleep on satin pillowcases, but when I wear a scarf I wear silk. They are a little hard after you wash them, because silk is dry clean only. I prefer silk scarfs over satin because I sweat less with silk, I don't think it makes much difference though.  ------------- Life is a journey, Enjoy the ride. |

I wear scarves and headwraps...i don't think any of them are satin. I just recently, started using my satin pillowcase again. But I don't notice a difference my hair grew either way and I never noticed breakage. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

I think either satin or silk is fine. Both are gentle on your hair. I wouldn't wear them ALL the time though because the constant friction of them being tied around your edges and nape will eventually wear in those areas and cause breakage. ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~
