Consider using a buff, neck gaiter, or bonnet to maintain curl definition.

🛏️ Silk vs. Satin Pillowcases
Both materials help reduce tangles and facial lines by keeping the hair's cuticle layer closed:
-
Silk: Natural, breathable, hypoallergenic, and ideal for fine hair or menopausal women.
-
Satin: Synthetic, more affordable, and still effective.
For silk pillowcases, consider Dharma Trading Company in San Rafael, CA.
