satin vs. silk: what’s better for hair?

Satin and silk are often mentioned together in hair care conversations, but they are not the same. Understanding the difference can help you choose the best option for your hair.

What Is Silk?

Silk is a natural fiber made from silkworm cocoons. It is luxurious, breathable, and smooth, but often expensive and delicate.

What Is Satin?

Satin is a weave, not a fiber. It can be made from synthetic or blended materials and offers the same smooth surface as silk at a more accessible price point.

Hair Benefits Comparison
