Prices are in South African rand.", "source": "general", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contact/" }, { "question": "Is it real mulberry silk?", "answer": "Yes. Every product we list is described by its maker as mulberry silk, and the product page states the silk content. Where part of a product is not silk, such as an elastic, a zip or a mask filling, the page says so. We do not sell polyester satin.", "source": "general", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contact/" }, { "question": "What does momme mean?", "answer": "Momme is the weight of silk fabric. One momme is about 4.3 grams per square metre, so a higher number means a denser, heavier cloth. Most silk pillowcases are 19 to 25 momme.", "source": "general", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contact/" }, { "question": "Is silk the same as satin?", "answer": "No. Silk is a natural fibre. Satin is a weave, and most low-priced satin is woven from polyester. If a label says satin and does not say silk, assume it is a synthetic.", "source": "general", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contact/" }, { "question": "Can I return it if it is not right?", "answer": "Yes. Return it within 14 days of delivery, unused, unwashed and in its original packaging, and we refund the price you paid including standard delivery.

A higher number means more silk in the same area, so 22 momme is denser and has more drape than the lighter 16 or 19 momme silks you often see.

Silk is a long smooth filament, so strands slide across it with much less friction.

It is double layered with mulberry silk used for both the inner and the outer layer.

It reads as a light, muted tone rather than a bright yellow. In most bedroom lighting it looks closer to a warm ivory.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will it fit my head?", "answer": "It is sold as one size that suits most adults.

The smooth silk surface means less catching at the cuticle as you turn over. Pineappling your curls on top before putting the cap on gives the most room.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it over braids or locs?", "answer": "Yes. The crown has enough space for braids, twists and locs, and a silk cap for braids is a common way to keep the parting and edges neat overnight. For long or heavy braids, gather them loosely at the crown before pulling the cap on.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "What if I have very short hair?", "answer": "Short hair benefits too, mainly by keeping a fresh cut or a wrap from being scuffed against the pillow. It also keeps dust off while you sleep. The cap will simply sit closer to the head with less bulk underneath.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will it work for straight hair and blow-dries?", "answer": "Yes. Straight hair tends to show frizz and flyaways from pillow friction, and a silk cap reduces that rubbing.

Smaller rollers, flexi rods and pin curls fit comfortably. Put the cap on gently rather than pulling it down hard over the set.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Is it hot to wear?", "answer": "Silk breathes well and this cap is light, so it is generally cooler than a thick synthetic or fleece-lined cap. The double layer adds a little body but not much warmth. Most people find it comfortable year round.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Does it make noise or feel slippery?", "answer": "Silk at 22 momme has enough weight that it feels soft and settled rather than slithery. It is quiet, with none of the rustle you get from synthetic satin. The hand feel is one of the clearer differences between real silk and polyester satin.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent made for delicates, press out the water without wringing, and hang to dry away from direct sun. A cold, gentle machine cycle inside a mesh bag also works.

Avoid steaming directly onto the silk at high heat. In most cases hanging it to dry leaves it smooth enough that ironing is unnecessary.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Every week or two is a reasonable rhythm for most people. If you use a lot of oils, creams or leave-in products, wash more often, because product build-up dulls the fabric. Washing gently and often is kinder than leaving it until it is heavily soiled.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will hair products stain the champagne colour?", "answer": "Light colours show oils and pigmented products more readily than dark ones. Rinsing out heavy products before bed, or washing the cap a little more often, keeps it looking fresh. Treat marks promptly rather than letting them set.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it during the day?", "answer": "Yes. It is light enough to wear while doing housework, cooking or relaxing, which keeps hair tied back and away from dust.

This one is mulberry silk, which is a natural protein fibre. Silk has a different hand feel, breathes better and generally sits more comfortably against the skin.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Do I still need a silk pillowcase if I wear this?", "answer": "Not necessarily, though many people use both. The bonnet handles your hair, while a silk pillowcase also helps where your face and neck touch the fabric. If you only want one, the bonnet targets hair more directly.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can two people share one?", "answer": "Physically yes, since it is one size, but a bonnet sits directly against the scalp and hair products, so most households keep one each. It is also an easy item to buy as a pair. Hygiene is the main consideration.", "source": "Champagne 22 Momme Double Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/champagne-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Does it come with anything else?", "answer": "It is sold as the bonnet on its own.

Loosen or tighten it night to night as your hair volume changes.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Why choose ties over elastic?", "answer": "Elastic gives you one fixed tension that can press on the forehead or slip off once it relaxes. Ties let you pick the tension and keep giving the same hold months later. For a lot of people that is the difference between wearing a bonnet and giving up on it.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "What head sizes does it fit?", "answer": "It is made for head measurements of about 51 to 58 cm, which is roughly 20 to 23 inches.

Most adults land inside that range.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Will it fit over thick or voluminous hair?", "answer": "The crown has room for hair with body, and the ties let you ease the fit if you need more space. Curls, coils and twists sit inside without being pressed flat. If you have very long hair, gather it loosely first so it tucks in rather than bunching at one side.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Is this suitable for curly and coily hair?", "answer": "Yes. Hair with a lot of texture tends to catch on cotton weaves, so a smooth silk surface is particularly welcome. The bonnet also keeps curls grouped rather than spread across the pillow.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it over braids or locs?", "answer": "You can, as long as the length fits inside the crown comfortably.

The ties make it easier to secure around a larger shape than a fixed band would.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Does it work for straight or fine hair?", "answer": "It does. Fine hair tangles easily and a smooth surface reduces the pulling that comes from turning over at night. It also keeps hair from ending up across your face.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "What colour is this one?", "answer": "This is the green version of the bonnet. The shade is described in plain terms as green, and the maker does not state a specific colour name beyond that.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "What is the momme weight of the silk?", "answer": "The maker does not state the momme weight. What is stated is that both layers are mulberry silk rather than a blend or a silk-faced construction.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "What are the exact dimensions of the bonnet?", "answer": "Specific flat measurements are not stated by the maker. The fit range given is 51 to 58 cm (20 to 23 inches) around the head, which is the figure to go by when choosing.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "How heavy is it?", "answer": "The item weight is not stated. Silk bonnets of this type are very light, which is part of why they are easy to wear all night.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Where is it made?", "answer": "The country of origin is not stated by the maker.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash only, in cool water with a mild detergent made for delicates. Swirl it gently rather than scrubbing, rinse, then press out the water without twisting. Dry it flat, away from direct sun and heaters.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Can I put it in the washing machine?", "answer": "No. The care instruction is hand wash only. Machine agitation and spin cycles are hard on silk fibres and will shorten the life of the bonnet.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Every one to two weeks suits most people, sooner if you use heavy oils or leave-in products. If you notice product build-up on the inner surface, that is the signal. Washing is quick once it becomes a habit.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "If it needs pressing, use the lowest iron setting and work on the inside of the fabric. Better still, smooth it with your hands while damp and let it dry flat, which usually removes creases on its own.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Will it slip off during the night?", "answer": "That is what the ties are there to prevent. Set them firm enough to hold and the bonnet should stay put through normal movement. If it does shift, tie a little tighter the following night.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Is it comfortable enough to sleep in every night?", "answer": "Silk is light and breathable, and the tie closure means no band pressing on your forehead. Most people stop noticing it after the first few nights. Adjust the tension until it feels like nothing.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it during the day?", "answer": "Plenty of people do. It keeps hair off your face while you do skincare, apply make-up, clean or work around the house. It is just as useful as a daytime hair wrap as it is in bed.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Can I use it after washing my hair?", "answer": "Wait until your hair is at least mostly dry. Putting a bonnet over soaking hair traps moisture against the scalp and leaves the silk wet for hours, which is not good for either.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Does it replace a silk pillowcase?", "answer": "It covers your hair but not your face, so the two do different jobs. Some people use both, some choose one. A bonnet is the more portable option if you travel.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Is this a good travel item?", "answer": "Yes. It folds down small, weighs very little and means you are not relying on whatever pillowcase a hotel provides. Many people keep one in their bag permanently.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Does it make a good gift?", "answer": "It does, particularly for someone who takes care of their hair or who has mentioned wanting a better night routine. The wide fit range means you do not need to know their exact head size. It presents well without needing much wrapping.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Will it fit a teenager or a child?", "answer": "The fit range starts at 51 cm, so measure first. Older teenagers usually fall within range, younger children often do not. The ties give a little flexibility but the crown size is fixed.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it with hair products in?", "answer": "You can, though oils and creams will transfer onto the silk and mean washing more often. If you use a heavy product, consider applying it earlier in the evening so it has time to absorb.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "How long will it last?", "answer": "That depends on how often you wear it and how gently you wash it. Hand washing in cool water and drying flat makes the biggest difference. The tie closure helps too, since there is no elastic to lose its stretch.", "source": "Green Double-Layer Silk Bonnet with Ties", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/green-double-layer-silk-bonnet-with-ties/" }, { "question": "How is delivery handled?", "answer": "Delivery is tracked and goes to every province, usually within 10 to 20 working days.

There is no cotton or polyester lining mentioned. The fabric is described as medium weight with no stretch.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "What does 22 momme actually mean?", "answer": "Momme is the traditional way silk weight is measured, a bit like thread count is used for cotton. A higher momme number means a denser, heavier silk fabric. At 22 momme this sits in the range most people associate with bedding-weight silk rather than a thin scarf silk.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Is the silk on the inside as well as the outside?", "answer": "Yes. Both faces of the bonnet are mulberry silk, so the surface touching your hair is the same material as the surface you can see. Some bonnets use a cheaper outer shell, and this one does not.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How does a silk bonnet help with hair?", "answer": "Silk is a smooth fibre, so hair slides across it with less friction than it does over cotton. Less friction means less tugging as you move during the night. We make no claims beyond the physical nature of the fabric.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "What size is it?", "answer": "Laid flat it measures 28 x 23 x 2 cm, which is roughly 11 x 9 x 0.8 in. The buckle and drawstring let you adjust the opening to your own head. Measure around your head at the hairline if you want a reference before ordering.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will it fit my head?", "answer": "The closure is adjustable, so there is a range rather than one fixed size. If your head measurement is close to average adult size you should be able to set it comfortably. The maker notes it is not ideal for very thick or voluminous hair.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Is this the best silk bonnet for sleeping if I have a lot of hair?", "answer": "If you have a very large volume of hair, this particular bonnet may not be the right pick, because the maker says it is not ideal for thick or voluminous hair. The flat size of 28 x 23 cm gives you a sense of the internal room. A roomier style would suit better in that case.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Does it stretch?", "answer": "No. The fabric is listed as having no stretch, which is normal for woven mulberry silk. All of the fit adjustment comes from the buckle and the drawstring rather than from the fabric itself.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How does the closure work?", "answer": "There is a buckle plus a drawstring. You pull the drawstring to gather the opening, then the buckle holds the setting so it does not loosen while you sleep. Once you find your setting you can usually leave it alone.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will it stay on overnight?", "answer": "That is what the adjustable closure is for. Set it snug enough that it does not shift when you turn, but not so tight that it leaves a mark on your forehead. Most people find their setting within the first couple of nights.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "What colour is it?", "answer": "It is a solid pink with no pattern or print.

There is only the one colourway for this item.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can men wear it?", "answer": "Yes. It is listed for adults rather than for one gender, and the shape is a simple beanie form. The colour is pink, so that is the thing to consider rather than the cut.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Is this a good silk bonnet for curls?", "answer": "Many people with curls use a bonnet so their hair is not dragged against the pillow all night. The smooth silk surface and the adjustable opening are the relevant features here. Just keep the volume note in mind if your curls are very full.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Does it work for braids?", "answer": "A bonnet is a common choice for people with braids, and the adjustable closure helps you gather the length in. Whether it is the best silk bonnet for braids for you depends on how much length and bulk you need to fit inside the 28 x 23 cm flat size. Measure what you need to tuck in before ordering.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it over a fresh blow-dry?", "answer": "Plenty of people do, because the smooth surface means less friction against the hair than a cotton pillowcase. Make sure your hair is fully dry first. Silk and damp hair are not a great combination for the fabric.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it with wet hair?", "answer": "We would not recommend it. Putting a silk bonnet over wet hair traps moisture against the fabric and the silk takes a long time to dry out. Let your hair dry first.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Is it breathable?", "answer": "The maker lists breathable as a feature, and silk in general is a light, airy fibre. At 22 momme it has some body but it is not a thick, insulating fabric. It is listed as suitable for all seasons.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will it be too warm in summer?", "answer": "Silk is a light fabric and this one is described as breathable and all-season. It sits on the head rather than wrapping the whole face or neck. Most people find a silk sleep cap more comfortable in heat than a cotton or fleece one.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash only, in cool water with a mild detergent made for delicates. Fasten the buckle before washing so the hardware does not snag the silk. Do not bleach and do not wring it out.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can I put it in the washing machine?", "answer": "The care instruction is hand wash only, so we would stay with that.

Do not iron over the buckle or the drawstring. Most of the time a flat dry is enough to keep it neat.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "That depends on your hair products and how much you use. Once a week is a common rhythm if you apply oils or creams before bed, and every two weeks for drier hair. Washing it too often will wear the fabric faster than it needs to.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Is it water resistant?", "answer": "No. It is listed as not water resistant, which is expected for a woven silk fabric.

A pink silk bonnet is an easy present for a birthday, an anniversary or a Christmas stocking, and the adjustable closure means you do not need to know someone's head size. Just factor in the note about very thick hair.", "source": "Pink 22 Momme Adjustable Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-22-momme-adjustable-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How is it delivered and how long does it take?", "answer": "Delivery is tracked to every province and takes 10 to 20 working days.

You pull it on over your hair at night, or wear it during the day as a wrap. The print is a pink floral pattern.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Why would I wear a silk bonnet instead of just using a pillowcase?", "answer": "A pillowcase only protects the hair that is touching it. A bonnet keeps the whole head covered no matter how you roll, which is why people with curls or braids usually prefer one. Many people use both.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How does silk actually help my hair?", "answer": "Silk has a smooth fibre surface, so hair slides across it with less friction than it does across cotton. Less dragging means less of the mechanical roughing-up that leads to frizz and tangles overnight. That is a physical property of the fabric, nothing more complicated than that.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "What size head does it fit?", "answer": "It is made for head sizes between 51 and 58 cm, which is 20 to 23 inches. Measure around your head just above the ears and across the forehead to check. Most adult heads fall inside that range.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Is it one size only?", "answer": "Yes, it is a single size cut to the 51 to 58 cm range.

There is no small or large option in this style.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "What does double-layered mean here?", "answer": "There are two layers of mulberry silk in the construction rather than a single panel. This gives the cap more structure so it holds its shape, and it means silk faces both inwards and outwards. It is not a lined bonnet with a different fabric on the outside.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "What momme weight is the silk?", "answer": "The maker does not state the momme weight.

The maker does not give a precise colour name or code beyond the print description.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will it leave a mark on my forehead?", "answer": "It is cut with a relaxed, non-tight silhouette specifically so it does not press hard into the skin. There is no stiff elastic band pulling it in. If you prefer a very snug fit, this one will feel loose by comparison.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Is this a good silk bonnet for curly hair?", "answer": "Curls are one of the hair types it is designed around, along with waves and braids. The roomy shape means curl clumps are not crushed flat against the scalp. For a very large curl volume, check that your hair is not already filling a big bonnet to its limit.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will it work for braids?", "answer": "Yes, it is built with braids in mind, which is part of why the fit is loose rather than compressive. Longer braids may need to be gathered or coiled to sit comfortably inside. Very long braids might be more than this cap can hold.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "What if I have very thick or very long hair?", "answer": "Very long or extra-thick hair may exceed the capacity of this bonnet. If you already use a large or jumbo bonnet and it is full, this is probably not the right size for you. Medium hair volume is the sweet spot.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Does it suit short hair?", "answer": "It will fit, but it will sit loosely because there is less hair inside to fill it out. Some people like that and simply tuck the edge under. Others with pixie-length hair prefer a smaller cap.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can men wear it?", "answer": "There is nothing about the construction that is gender-specific, though the print is a pink floral so it reads as feminine. The fit range of 51 to 58 cm covers most adult heads. Anyone who wants less friction on their hair at night can use one.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it during the day?", "answer": "Yes. Plenty of people wear a bonnet like this for a skincare routine, a hair treatment, housework, or a morning at a desk at home. Folded and tucked, it works as a turban wrap.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will it stay on while I sleep?", "answer": "The gathered edge is designed to hold it in place without squeezing. If you are a very active sleeper you may find it shifts occasionally, which is true of most relaxed-fit bonnets. Tucking the hair in fully before you lie down helps.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it on damp hair?", "answer": "You can, though silk takes longer to dry than cotton and damp hair against any fabric for hours is not ideal for the hair itself. If you do, let the bonnet air out properly afterwards. Fully dry hair is the simpler option.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can I use it over a hair treatment or oil?", "answer": "Many people do use a bonnet to keep oils and treatments off their bedding. Be aware that oils will mark silk and need washing out, so you may want to keep one cap for treatment nights. Hand wash it after each oily use.", "source": "Pink Floral Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-flower-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash only, in cool water, with a mild detergent made for delicates.

Wash it sooner if you have used oils, treatments, or heavy styling products.

A bonnet keeps the whole head of hair enclosed, including the parts that move around as you turn over. Plenty of people use both, and that is the best silk hair wrap setup if you want the full effect.", "source": "Purple Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/purple-double-layer-mulberry-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "What does double layer mean here?", "answer": "The cap is built from two layers of silk rather than one.

There is no cotton lining.", "source": "Purple Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/purple-double-layer-mulberry-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How does it stay on?", "answer": "It closes with long drawstring ties that you knot yourself. You decide how snug it sits, which is why many shoppers rate a tie closure as the best adjustable silk bonnet style.", "source": "Purple Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/purple-double-layer-mulberry-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will it have an elastic band that leaves a mark on my forehead?", "answer": "No. The fit comes from the ties, not from a tight elastic band.

Curls sit inside the cap with room to breathe and are not pressed flat by a band.

A machine cycle, even a delicate one, puts more strain on silk seams and ties than hand washing does.", "source": "Purple Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/purple-double-layer-mulberry-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Can I tumble dry it?", "answer": "No. Heat is hard on silk.

The solid purple is plain enough to wear out the door if you like.", "source": "Purple Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/purple-double-layer-mulberry-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will it stay on all night?", "answer": "Tied properly it generally does. If you are a very restless sleeper, tie the knot lower at the nape rather than at the crown and it will hold better.", "source": "Purple Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/purple-double-layer-mulberry-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How does it compare to a satin bonnet?", "answer": "Satin describes a weave, and most cheap satin bonnets are polyester. This is silk, a natural protein fibre, which breathes better and feels cooler against the skin.", "source": "Purple Double-Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/purple-double-layer-mulberry-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Does it come boxed?", "answer": "Yes, it arrives in a box, so it is ready to give without extra wrapping.

That means less tugging on strands as you turn over during the night. It is a surface difference, nothing more complicated than that.", "source": "Silver 19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleep Cap with Adjustable Band", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silver-19-momme-silk-sleep-cap-adjustable/" }, { "question": "What size is it?", "answer": "It is sold in one adult size.

Loosely gather long hair and tuck it up inside before you pull the cap on, rather than leaving it hanging out of the back. A silk bonnet for long hair works best when the ends are contained too, since the ends take the most friction.", "source": "Silver 19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleep Cap with Adjustable Band", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silver-19-momme-silk-sleep-cap-adjustable/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for curly or coiled hair?", "answer": "Many people with curls and coils use a silk sleeping cap for curls as part of a nightly routine. Gather the hair gently on top or at the crown rather than flattening it, then pull the cap over. The double-layered shape leaves a little room for volume.", "source": "Silver 19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleep Cap with Adjustable Band", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silver-19-momme-silk-sleep-cap-adjustable/" }, { "question": "Does it work over braids or locs?", "answer": "It depends on the bulk. Shorter or finer braids usually tuck in without trouble. Thick, long or heavy locs may need a larger bonnet, since this is a one-size cap rather than a jumbo one.", "source": "Silver 19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleep Cap with Adjustable Band", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silver-19-momme-silk-sleep-cap-adjustable/" }, { "question": "What colour is it?", "answer": "Silver, which reads as a pale soft grey with the natural sheen that silk has. It is a plain solid colour with no pattern or print.", "source": "Silver 19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleep Cap with Adjustable Band", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silver-19-momme-silk-sleep-cap-adjustable/" }, { "question": "Is the inside silk too, or is it lined with something else?", "answer": "It is silk on both faces. The maker lists the inner material as silk and the construction as double-layered, so your hair is against silk and the pillow side is also silk.", "source": "Silver 19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleep Cap with Adjustable Band", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silver-19-momme-silk-sleep-cap-adjustable/" }, { "question": "Why is double-layered better than single-layered?", "answer": "Two layers share the strain of stretching and washing, so the cap holds its shape longer than a thin single layer would. It also keeps a slightly rounder form over the hair instead of flattening down.", "source": "Silver 19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleep Cap with Adjustable Band", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silver-19-momme-silk-sleep-cap-adjustable/" }, { "question": "Will the elastic leave a mark on my forehead?", "answer": "The elastic sits along the back edge and is covered in silk, which is softer against skin than bare elastic.

Some people wear a silk hair wrap for bed only, others pull one on while doing housework or during a treatment.

The cap looks after your hair while the pillowcase gives your face a smooth surface. If you are buying a pillowcase too, measure your pillow first, since a standard South African pillow is about 45 x 70 cm while many silk pillowcases are cut to American sizes.", "source": "Silver 19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleep Cap with Adjustable Band", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silver-19-momme-silk-sleep-cap-adjustable/" }, { "question": "What if it is not right for me?", "answer": "You have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, as long as the cap is unused and unwashed.

This one is made from mulberry silk and closes with a drawstring.

A higher number means a heavier, denser weave. At 22 momme, this sits above the thinner 16 and 19 momme silks commonly used in sleep accessories, so the fabric feels more substantial in the hand.", "source": "Sky Blue 22 Momme Double-Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/sky-blue-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Is the inside silk too, or just the outside?", "answer": "Both sides are mulberry silk. The bonnet is built as a double layer with silk as the shell and silk as the lining. That matters because the lining is the surface your hair touches all night.", "source": "Sky Blue 22 Momme Double-Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/sky-blue-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Why does silk help hair compared to cotton?", "answer": "Silk has a smoother surface, so hair slides across it with less friction than it does across cotton. Less dragging means less tangling and less of the roughing up that leads to frizz. It is a simple mechanical thing rather than anything clever.", "source": "Sky Blue 22 Momme Double-Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/sky-blue-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will this work on curly hair?", "answer": "Yes, curly and natural hair is one of the main uses described for it. The double layer gives the cap enough body to sit over volume without flattening everything immediately. Medium to thick curly hair is the sweet spot.", "source": "Sky Blue 22 Momme Double-Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/sky-blue-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "My hair is very long and very thick. Will it fit?", "answer": "Possibly not comfortably. The maker notes it may not suit hair that is both long and thick at the same time.

The drawstring lets you adjust the tension so the cap holds without squeezing.", "source": "Sky Blue 22 Momme Double-Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/sky-blue-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "How does the drawstring work?", "answer": "There is a cord you pull to tighten the opening, and it holds at the tension you set. It is more adjustable than a fixed elastic band, which either fits or does not. If it loosens overnight you can simply pull it a little tighter next time.", "source": "Sky Blue 22 Momme Double-Layer Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/sky-blue-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will it leave a mark on my forehead?", "answer": "The band is wide and soft, which spreads pressure rather than concentrating it in one thin line. That is usually the fix for the mark problem.

A common South African pillow is around 45 x 70 cm, while this case is cut to 66 x 50.8 cm, the American standard.

Cotton has a dry surface with a bit of grip to it, while silk is smooth, so hair and skin slide across rather than catch.

Because the strands are long and consistent, the woven cloth is smoother and stronger than silk made from mixed or shorter fibres. It is the standard fibre used for the best mulberry silk pillowcase ranges.", "source": "Grey Mulberry Silk Pillowcase Queen 19 Momme", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/grey-mulberry-silk-pillowcase-queen-19-momme/" }, { "question": "What does Grade 6A mean?", "answer": "Grade 6A is the top tier in the common silk grading scale, which runs from A up to 6A. The grade describes the length, evenness and cleanliness of the raw filament.

Pillowcases usually sit between 16 and 25 momme, so 19 is comfortably in the middle. It gives the fabric enough body to drape well without feeling heavy or stiff.", "source": "Grey Mulberry Silk Pillowcase Queen 19 Momme", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/grey-mulberry-silk-pillowcase-queen-19-momme/" }, { "question": "Is both sides real silk?", "answer": "Yes, this case is double-sided pure mulberry silk.

If you want a tight, tailored fit, measure first. Pillows that are deeply filled or oversized may be a squeeze.", "source": "Grey Mulberry Silk Pillowcase Queen 19 Momme", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/grey-mulberry-silk-pillowcase-queen-19-momme/" }, { "question": "How do I measure my pillow properly?", "answer": "Lay the pillow flat without compressing it and measure edge to edge along the length and the width.

You slide the pillow in, zip it closed, and the zip sits tucked away so it does not show on the bed.

The momme weight of 19 tells you more about how substantial it will feel. Use both figures together when comparing a 19 momme silk pillowcase against others.", "source": "Grey Mulberry Silk Pillowcase Queen 19 Momme", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/grey-mulberry-silk-pillowcase-queen-19-momme/" }, { "question": "How many pillowcases come in the pack?", "answer": "One.

A higher momme means more silk per square metre, so the fabric feels heavier and hangs better.

You unzip along the open edge, slide the pillow in and zip it closed.

We do not make claims about hair growth or hair health. If reducing friction is your goal, the best silk pillowcase for hair is simply one with real silk on both faces.", "source": "Navy Mulberry Silk Pillowcases Queen 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/navy-mulberry-silk-pillowcases-queen-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Does it feel cool or warm?", "answer": "Silk tends to feel cool and smooth when you first lie down.

The zip is positioned so it sits away from your face.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Why do people choose a mulberry silk pillowcase over cotton?", "answer": "Silk fibres sit flatter and smoother than cotton fibres, so hair and skin slide across the surface with less friction. Cotton has a slightly more textured weave that can tug at hair. It is a surface difference rather than anything more than that.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Will it help with bed head?", "answer": "A smoother surface means hair drags less as you turn over, which is why many people with long or curly hair prefer silk. Whether that makes a visible difference depends on your hair and how you sleep. We cannot promise a particular outcome.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Is it cool to sleep on?", "answer": "Silk at this weight tends to feel cool to the touch and is listed as breathable.

In a hot room it will still warm up over the course of a night.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Can I use it on a latex contour pillow?", "answer": "Yes, if the latex pillow has a similar wave profile and similar measurements. The cover does not care what the foam inside is made of, only what shape and size it is. Measure first.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Does the pillow come with it?", "answer": "No. The listing includes one pillowcase only, with no pillow inside.

Keep bleach and fabric softener away from it.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Can I tumble dry it?", "answer": "Only on the coolest setting. Hanging it to dry is better for the fibre and keeps the shaped panels from distorting. Dry it out of direct sunlight.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Yes, on the lowest heat setting and while the silk is still slightly damp.

Iron on the reverse side where you can.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Once a week suits most people, a little more often if you use hair products or go to bed with damp hair. Having a second cover in rotation makes this much easier. The foam pillow underneath stays cleaner as a result.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Will it shrink?", "answer": "Washing cold and drying away from heat is the way to avoid shrinkage with silk. Hot water and hot dryers are what cause problems. Follow the cold and cool routine and the cover should hold its shape.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Why does silk feel slippery at first?", "answer": "The fibre surface is very smooth, so there is less grip than a brushed cotton case. Some people love it straight away, others take a few nights to get used to it. The pillow itself does not move because the zip holds it in place.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for someone who sleeps on their side?", "answer": "Contour pillows are often chosen by side sleepers, since the higher ridge fills the gap between the shoulder and the head. This cover is simply the silk layer over that pillow. It does not change the support the foam gives.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Does it work on a travel-size contour pillow?", "answer": "Probably not, as travel contour pillows are usually smaller than 50 x 30 cm. The cover would hang loose and the shaping would not line up. Check your measurements against the figures given.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Is the fabric weight going to feel flimsy?", "answer": "Nineteen momme is a practical mid-weight for bedding, not a thin lining silk. It has enough body to sit on the pillow properly. Lighter silks tend to be used for scarves rather than pillowcases.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Does it come in other colours?", "answer": "The colour listed for this cover is white.

The pattern is solid with no print.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "Is it a good gift?", "answer": "It works well for anyone who already sleeps on a contour or cervical pillow, since those owners usually struggle to find a case that fits. A plain white silk cover suits most bedrooms.

We will sort out a return. The most common cause of a poor fit is a contour pillow that is longer or taller than the figures listed, so measuring first saves everyone trouble.", "source": "Contour Memory Foam Pillow Silk Pillowcase", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/silk-pillowcase-for-contour-memory-foam-pillow/" }, { "question": "What exactly is included?", "answer": "One pillowcase, in queen size, in taupe.

A higher momme means more silk packed into the same area, so the fabric is heavier and denser. At 25 momme this sits at the substantial end of what is used for bedding.", "source": "Taupe 25 Momme Mulberry Silk Pillowcase, Queen, Envelope Closure", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/taupe-25-momme-silk-pillowcase-queen-envelope/" }, { "question": "Is it real silk all the way through?", "answer": "Yes, it is described as 100% mulberry silk with silk on both faces of the case.

A figure of 700 points to a dense, finely woven cloth, which is part of why the surface feels so even. With silk, momme weight and thread count together tell you more than either number alone.", "source": "Taupe 25 Momme Mulberry Silk Pillowcase, Queen, Envelope Closure", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/taupe-25-momme-silk-pillowcase-queen-envelope/" }, { "question": "How heavy is the pillowcase?", "answer": "The listed item weight is 0.24 lb, which is roughly 0.11 kg.

It also lets the case be used as a sham.

A higher number means a denser, heavier cloth.

At 600, this is a dense weave, which is part of why the surface feels smooth and closed rather than open.

If you prefer to use a dry cleaner, choose one who handles silk regularly and tell them the scarf has a brushed finish so they use a gentle process.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf, Grey and Black Geometric Weave", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-black-geometric/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Less often than you might think. Scarves sit over clothing rather than against skin all day, so airing it out between wears is usually enough. Wash it when it picks up perfume, make-up or a spill.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf, Grey and Black Geometric Weave", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-black-geometric/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Use a cool iron on the reverse side, ideally with a thin cloth between the iron and the silk. Avoid steam blasts directly onto the brushed face. Hanging it in a steamy bathroom often drops creases without any ironing.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf, Grey and Black Geometric Weave", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-black-geometric/" }, { "question": "How should I store it?", "answer": "Fold it loosely or roll it and keep it in a drawer, or hang it over a soft rail.

Keep it out of direct sunlight.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf, Grey and Black Geometric Weave", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-black-geometric/" }, { "question": "Will the colour fade?", "answer": "Keep it out of prolonged direct sun and away from bleach and strong stain removers, and the grey and black should stay even. Drying flat in the shade rather than on a sunny line makes a real difference.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf, Grey and Black Geometric Weave", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-black-geometric/" }, { "question": "Does it come gift wrapped?", "answer": "It arrives in a gift box, so it can be handed over as is.

That gives the fabric a soft, slightly matte handle instead of the slick shine of a plain satin weave. It feels warmer against the neck and looks more muted under a coat.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "What is mulberry silk?", "answer": "Mulberry silk comes from silkworms raised on mulberry leaves, which produce long, even filaments. Those long fibres are what make the finished cloth smooth and strong. It is the type of silk most commonly used for good quality scarves and bedding.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "How long is the scarf?", "answer": "It measures 180 cm long by 30 cm wide, which is roughly 71 by 12 inches. That is a long, narrow rectangle rather than a square. The extra length is what lets you loop it twice at the neck and still have ends to hang.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "What colour is it?", "answer": "It is a soft grey blue, a muted mid tone that shifts a little depending on the light. It is not a bright or saturated colour. That is what makes it easy to wear with clothes you already own.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "Will it go with my coat?", "answer": "A grey blue sits comfortably with navy, charcoal, black, camel, cream and denim. If your coat is one of those, the scarf will work. It is one of the reasons a neutral is often the best everyday silk scarf to start with.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "Is it warm enough for winter?", "answer": "The brushed surface traps a thin layer of air, so it is noticeably warmer than a plain thin silk square. It will not replace a thick wool scarf in very cold wind. It is best thought of as a warm layer for cool mornings, cold offices and evenings out.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "Is it too warm for autumn?", "answer": "No. Because it is light and breathable, it works across autumn and into spring as well. Many people find a brushed silk scarf is the one they reach for when wool feels like too much.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "Can men wear it?", "answer": "Yes. The colour is neutral and the long narrow cut is a classic men's scarf shape. Worn under a coat collar with a simple loop, it reads as smart rather than decorative.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "How do I tie it?", "answer": "The simplest method is to fold it in half lengthways, drape it around the neck, and pull the loose ends through the folded loop. You can also wrap it twice for warmth, or leave it hanging open down the front of a coat. All three work with this length.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "Does it work as a shawl?", "answer": "At 30 cm wide it is a scarf rather than a shawl. It can sit over the shoulders for a light cover indoors, but it will not wrap fully around the upper body. If you want shoulder coverage, look at a wider wrap.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it indoors?", "answer": "Yes, and many people do. Air conditioned offices and restaurants are exactly where a light silk layer earns its keep. It keeps the draught off your neck without making you overheat.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "How should I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, or have it dry cleaned.

Agitation and spin cycles are rough on silk fibres and on the brushed surface. Hand washing takes only a few minutes.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "If it needs pressing, use the lowest setting and put a clean cloth between the iron and the silk. Never press a dry silk scarf with a hot plate directly. In most cases hanging it for a few hours removes light creases on its own.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "Will the brushed finish wear off?", "answer": "Gentle handling keeps the nap in good condition. Harsh washing, hot water, tumble drying and rough friction are what flatten a brushed surface. Treat it the way you would treat a good knit and it holds up.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "How should I store it?", "answer": "Store it flat in a drawer or loosely rolled. Avoid hanging it on a thin hook for long periods, because the weight can pull the fabric out of shape at one point. Keep it away from damp and direct sunlight.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "What is the momme weight?", "answer": "The maker does not state a momme weight for this scarf. Momme is the usual measure of silk density, and without a stated figure it is better to go by the described brushed finish and the feel in hand.", "source": "Brushed Mulberry Silk Scarf in Grey Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brushed-mulberry-silk-scarf-grey-blue/" }, { "question": "What percentage silk is it?", "answer": "The exact fibre breakdown is not stated by the maker.

Mulberry silk is made from long, even fibres, which is why it drapes softly and feels smooth rather than papery. The maker does not state a momme weight, but the cloth is a lightweight weave rather than a heavy one.", "source": "Lightweight Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 70cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/lightweight-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-70cm/" }, { "question": "Is the pattern printed on both sides?", "answer": "No, the design is printed on a single side. The reverse carries a softer, paler shadow of the same pattern, which is normal for printed silk.

A 70 cm square folds into a bias band for a headband, or opens out to cover the whole head as a wrap.

The common ones are a flat neckerchief, a bias-rolled choker, a triangle over the shoulders, a headband, a hair wrap, a handbag handle tie and a thin belt through loops. The square shape is what makes it flexible.", "source": "Lightweight Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 70cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/lightweight-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-70cm/" }, { "question": "Will it work as a neck scarf for the office?", "answer": "Yes, and that is one of its most common uses. Fold it into a narrow band and knot it to one side of the neck for a tidy finish over a shirt or a blazer.

Roll it on the bias into a long strip and tie a double knot or a bow around the handle. It is a quick way to change the look of a plain bag, and the silk sits flat rather than bulking out.", "source": "Lightweight Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 70cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/lightweight-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-70cm/" }, { "question": "Is 70 cm big enough to wear over the shoulders?", "answer": "It covers the shoulders lightly when opened into a triangle, but it is not a shawl. For full shoulder coverage you would want a 90 cm or 110 cm square.

The ribbon cut means the length does most of the work and the width stays slim on purpose.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Is this big enough to wear as a neck scarf?", "answer": "It can be tied as a thin choker-style band or a loose neck tie, but it is far too narrow to work as a wrap or a square neckerchief. If you want a scarf that covers the shoulders, look at a square or oblong scarf instead. This one is built for knotting.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Can I use it as a handbag handle scarf?", "answer": "That is one of its main uses. Wrap it around the base of a handle or the ring hardware and tie a bow, and 90 centimetres leaves enough length for neat tails. It suits tote handles, top-handle bags and the straps on a shoulder bag.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Will it fit a thick handbag handle?", "answer": "On a thick or padded handle you will get one wrap and a bow rather than a long coiled wrap. On a thin handle you can coil it several times before tying. Either looks intentional, so it comes down to taste.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Does it work as a hair ribbon?", "answer": "Yes. It ties around a ponytail, winds along a plait, or knots around a bun. Being a smooth silk twill, it slides over hair with less drag than a cotton ribbon when you tie and untie it.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Will it hold a ponytail on its own?", "answer": "It is best used over an elastic rather than instead of one. Silk is slippery, so a knot in the ribbon alone can loosen through a busy day. Put a plain elastic in first, then tie the ribbon over it to hide the band.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it as a belt?", "answer": "You can thread it through jean loops or tie it over a dress waist as a soft scarf belt. It is decorative rather than structural, so do not expect it to hold up heavy trousers. On a mid-rise jean with a tucked shirt it looks neat.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Is dark blue easy to match?", "answer": "It is one of the easier colours to live with. Dark blue sits well against black, tan, cream, grey and denim, and it does not fight with gold or silver bag hardware. If you own mostly neutral clothes it will blend in without disappearing.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "What does the print look like?", "answer": "It is a printed twill in dark blue tones. Because it is a 5 centimetre strip, you see a slice of the pattern rather than a full motif, so it reads mainly as colour and texture with detail up close.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "What is silk twill and why does it matter?", "answer": "Twill is a weave with a fine diagonal structure, used on classic scarves for a long time. On a ribbon this slim it adds a bit of body, so bows keep their shape instead of going limp, and knots sit firm.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "How heavy is the silk?", "answer": "The momme weight is not stated by the maker. What is known is that the fabric is 100% mulberry silk in a twill weave. If exact weight matters to you, treat it as a mid-weight scarf silk rather than a heavy upholstery silk.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Where is it made?", "answer": "The country of manufacture is not stated by the maker.

Do not soak it, wring it or rub the fabric against itself. Press the water out with a towel and dry it flat, away from direct sun.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Can it go in the washing machine?", "answer": "No. Even a delicate cycle puts twisting force on a narrow silk strip, and the edges are the first thing to suffer. Hand washing takes about two minutes for a ribbon this small.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Use the lowest heat setting with a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the silk, and keep moving. Never press a hot iron straight onto silk. Most creases fall out if you hang the ribbon in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Only when it needs it. A hair or handbag ribbon that has not been near food, perfume or sweat can go a long time between washes. Airing it overnight handles most of what it picks up in normal wear.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Will the colour run?", "answer": "Wash it on its own in cool water the first few times, as you would with any dark printed silk. Do not leave it sitting in water, and do not wash it with pale items. Dry flat rather than in bright sun.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Can I tie it on a suitcase handle?", "answer": "Plenty of people do, as a way to spot their bag on a carousel. Just be aware that luggage handling is rough and a thin silk ribbon can snag on belts and trolleys. A sturdier tag is a safer bet for travel.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for a teenager?", "answer": "Yes. The ribbon shape is popular for ponytails and plaits, and the dark blue is easy to wear with a school or weekend wardrobe. There is nothing about the sizing that limits it by age.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Does one scarf fit everyone?", "answer": "It does, which is part of why it works as a present. There are no sizes to get wrong, and the uses span hair, bags and belts, so the person receiving it can choose how to wear it.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Is it a good gift?", "answer": "It is a sound choice for a small, considered gift. It is useful, it takes up no space, and it suits people who already own a bag or two they wear often. Among silk accessory gifts, a narrow ribbon is easier to buy for someone else than a large patterned square.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Can I buy more than one?", "answer": "Yes, and many people do. A second ribbon in a different tone means you can switch the look of the same handbag without buying another bag. Two is also a tidy gift pair.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "Will it snag?", "answer": "Silk is strong for its weight, but any fine fabric can catch on rough edges, split nails, zips and velcro. Tie it away from rough bag hardware and it holds up well. Avoid pulling a knot tight over a sharp corner.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "How long will it last?", "answer": "With hand washing and sensible knotting, a silk twill ribbon lasts for years of regular wear. The usual wear points are the ends, so untie knots gently rather than yanking them loose.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Twill Handbag Scarf in Dark Blue", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-twill-handbag-scarf-dark-blue/" }, { "question": "How is it delivered in South Africa?", "answer": "Delivery is tracked and goes to every province, taking 10 to 20 working days.

Keep it in its packaging until you are sure, and get in touch to start the return.

The pattern is printed on one side. It is designed to be tied at the neck, worn in the hair, or used as a trim on bags and hats.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "How big is 53 x 53 cm in practice?", "answer": "Lay it flat and it is a little wider than a sheet of A3 paper. Folded corner to corner it gives you a triangle with a long edge of roughly 75 cm, which is enough to wrap around most heads and knot at the back. It is a small square, not a shawl.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Is this a true mulberry silk scarf?", "answer": "Yes, it is described as 100% pure mulberry silk. Mulberry silk comes from silkworms fed only on mulberry leaves, which produces long, even filaments and a smooth surface. That smoothness is what gives the scarf its soft handle and its light sheen.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "What is the momme weight?", "answer": "The maker does not state it. Momme is the standard weight measure for silk, and small printed squares in this size are usually made in a lighter weight so they knot without bulk, but we will not quote a number that has not been given.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Is the print on both sides?", "answer": "No, it is printed on one side only. The reverse will show a softer, paler version of the same design. Most square scarves are made this way, and in normal wear the back is barely visible.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "What colour is it?", "answer": "Colour and print vary by design and are shown in the product images rather than stated as a code. Look at the photos on this page for the exact pattern and palette you will receive.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it as a hair scarf?", "answer": "Yes. Fold it corner to corner into a triangle, lay the long edge across your hairline and knot at the nape, or roll it narrow and tie it as a headband. Silk is smooth, so hair slides over it with less friction than cotton or linen.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Will it work as a neck scarf under a collar?", "answer": "It will. The silk is light and the square is small, so a knot sits flat and tucks neatly under a shirt collar or a blazer lapel without the lump you get from thicker fabrics. This is one of the more flattering ways to wear it.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Can I tie it on a handbag?", "answer": "Yes, and it is a popular way to use a scarf this size. Roll it into a narrow band and tie it around a handle or loop it through the hardware with a simple bow. Just be aware that constant rubbing against a buckle will wear silk faster than wearing it at the neck.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for men?", "answer": "Yes. A 53 cm square folds into a neat ascot-style knot or a simple band at the throat, and the size works well under an open collar. The pattern will decide whether it suits a particular wardrobe more than the cut does.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Is silk warm or cool to wear?", "answer": "Silk is light and breathable, so a thin square like this feels cool against the skin in warm weather while still taking the chill off a bare neck. It is more of a finishing touch than a winter scarf.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash it on its own in water below 30 degrees Celsius with a mild detergent made for delicates. Do not use a washing machine and do not bleach. Press the water out gently rather than wringing, then dry flat or on a hanger away from direct sunlight.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Can I dry clean it instead?", "answer": "Yes, dry cleaning is listed as an approved method. If the scarf has a dense multi-colour print or you are worried about handling it yourself, dry cleaning is the safer route. Tell the cleaner it is pure silk.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Iron on a low setting only. The easiest approach is to iron on the reverse side while the silk is still slightly damp, with no steam blasting directly onto the print. Never let a hot plate sit on the fabric.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Will the colours run in the wash?", "answer": "Printed silk can release a little surplus dye the first time it meets water, which is why the care guidance says to wash it alone. Use cool water, keep the wash short, and rinse until the water runs clear.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Will the print fade?", "answer": "Washed cool, kept out of bleach and dried out of direct sun, a digital print on silk holds its colour well. The main things that dull a print are hot water, harsh detergent and long spells in strong sunlight.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Can I put it in the tumble dryer?", "answer": "No. Heat and tumbling are hard on silk fibres and will dull the surface.

If a fold line sets in, a quick press on low while slightly damp will take it out. Rolling the scarf rather than folding it in storage keeps creasing down.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "How should I store it?", "answer": "Roll it loosely rather than folding along the same lines each time, and keep it somewhere dry and dark. A drawer, a small pouch or a scarf hanger all work. Keep it away from rough velcro, jewellery clasps and anything with a hook.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "What if it snags?", "answer": "A pulled thread on silk can usually be eased back. Work the fabric gently between your fingers from either side of the snag so the thread draws back into the weave, and never cut it. Keep rings and rough nails in mind when you tie it.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Is this the best silk neckerchief for everyday wear?", "answer": "For daily use it is a sensible size, because small squares knot quickly and do not get in the way. If you want something you can also drape over your shoulders, you would want a larger square instead.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "What size scarf should I buy if I want to cover my shoulders?", "answer": "Not this one. At 53 x 53 cm it is a neck and hair scarf. Shoulder coverage generally starts at around 90 x 90 cm, and a wrap needs to be larger again.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Does it come gift wrapped?", "answer": "Gift wrapping is not included as standard. That said, a silk square packs flat, weighs almost nothing and photographs well, so it is easy to slip into a card, a box or a gift bag yourself.", "source": "Printed Mulberry Silk Neckerchief 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-mulberry-silk-neckerchief-53cm/" }, { "question": "Is it a good gift?", "answer": "It is one of the easier gifts to get right, because a scarf has no size to guess and suits a wide age range.

A 70 cm square is a classic that works on a teenager tying it in a ponytail and on someone who has been wearing silk squares for decades.

Silk squares at this size commonly carry a rolled hem, but we will not claim a detail that has not been confirmed.

Folded on the diagonal into a band it gives you enough length to tie once at the neck or around a ponytail.

Twelve momme is a mid-light weight, airy enough to tie small and fluid, but not so sheer that it loses its shape. For a small square scarf it is a sensible middle ground.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "Is this real silk or a silk blend?", "answer": "It is 100% mulberry silk, not a blend and not polyester satin. Mulberry silk is produced from silkworms raised on mulberry leaves, which gives a long, even filament and a smoother cloth. The weave is a crepe satin.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "What is a crepe satin weave?", "answer": "Satin describes how the threads float across the surface, which is what gives silk its shine. Crepe refers to a slight springiness and fine texture in the cloth. Put together you get a face with soft lustre and a body that drapes well and holds a knot.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "What colour is it?", "answer": "The scarf carries a cat print pattern.

The pattern and colours stay the same. Small placement differences are normal for printed scarves rather than a fault.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "How heavy is it?", "answer": "Twenty two grams.

Larger squares look wonderful but take more effort to arrange.

Tuck the ends under or let them sit over the collar.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it in my hair?", "answer": "Yes, that is one of the common uses. Fold it into a band and tie it over the crown for a headband look, or wrap and knot it around the base of a ponytail or bun with the ends left loose. It is also long enough to tie around a short bun.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "Does it work as a bandana?", "answer": "It does. Fold it into a triangle, place the long edge across the forehead and knot the two ends at the back under the hair. The 53 cm size is close to a classic bandana square, so the proportions work.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "Can I tie it onto a handbag?", "answer": "Yes.

A small silk square knotted at the open collar of a shirt is a long-standing menswear look. Whether the cat print suits you is a matter of taste rather than sizing.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "What age does it suit?", "answer": "A small printed square works across a wide age range because the size keeps the pattern in proportion. Younger wearers tend to use it in hair or on a bag, while others favour the neck knot. The silk itself does not read as young or old.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "Is silk warm or cool to wear?", "answer": "Silk is a natural protein fibre that sits comfortably against the skin in both warm and cooler air. At this size and weight it adds very little warmth, so it is more of a style layer than an insulating one. In warm weather it tends to feel pleasant rather than stifling.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it in summer?", "answer": "Yes. A 12 momme square is light and breathable, and it takes up almost no room if you want to carry it instead of wearing it.

A double knot, or rolling the folded edge before tying, helps it stay put. Tying it over a shirt collar or a textured fabric also gives the knot something to grip.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "How should I wash it?", "answer": "Dry clean it, or hand wash it alone in cool water with a detergent formulated for silk.

Machine agitation and spin cycles are hard on fine silk and can dull the surface or pull threads. Hand washing takes a couple of minutes and is the safer route.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Yes, on the lowest silk setting. Iron it on the reverse side while it is still slightly damp, and avoid resting the iron in one place.

Never wash it with lighter items. If you are unsure, dry cleaning removes the question entirely.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "Is it a good gift?", "answer": "A small printed silk square is one of the easier gifts to get right, because there is no size to guess and no fit to worry about.

The usual causes of early wear are machine washing, hot irons and snagging on jewellery. Treat it kindly and it holds up well.", "source": "Printed Square Mulberry Silk Scarf 53cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/printed-square-mulberry-silk-scarf-53cm/" }, { "question": "Where is it made and who makes it?", "answer": "The maker does not state a brand or a country of origin for this scarf.

Twelve momme is a light-to-mid weight that drapes softly and knots easily.

Fold it into a long band and tie it as a headband, or wrap it around a ponytail or bun.

A silk square suits almost anyone, it does not depend on clothing size, and it folds flat enough to post or tuck into a card envelope sized box.

It can be worn over the head, wrapped around a bun or ponytail, or tied at the neck. The square shape is what makes it flexible, since it folds into a triangle, a wide band or a narrow strip.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "How big is 68 x 68 cm in practice?", "answer": "Folded corner to corner it gives you a triangle with a long edge of roughly 96 cm, which is enough to cover a full head of hair and still leave tails to knot. Rolled into a band it is long enough to wrap twice around most ponytails. It is a mid-size square, bigger than a bandana and smaller than a shawl-style scarf.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "What is mulberry silk?", "answer": "Mulberry silk is the long, fine filament produced by silkworms fed on mulberry leaves, and it is the fibre used for most fine silk accessories. The long filaments give a smooth, even surface and the soft shine people associate with silk. The maker does not state a momme weight for this scarf.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Is this the best silk hair scarf for sleeping?", "answer": "It is a sensible choice for overnight wear because it is light, breathable and large enough to cover the whole head. Tie it at the nape or at the crown, whichever holds better for your hair length. If you move a lot in your sleep, a wider fold and a firmer knot will stay put better than a thin band.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Will it stay on all night?", "answer": "That depends on how you tie it and how much you move. A triangle fold with the knot tucked under at the nape tends to hold longer than a knot at the front. Many people find a second, looser knot or tucking the tails back under the wrap keeps it in place until morning.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Why do people prefer silk over cotton on their hair?", "answer": "Silk has a smoother surface, so hair slides over it instead of catching. Cotton is more textured and more absorbent, which is why it tends to grip strands. That is the whole reason a silk hair wrap gets reached for instead of a cotton one.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Does it work on curly hair?", "answer": "Yes, it is commonly used that way. For a silk scarf for curly hair, fold it wide so curls are not compressed into a narrow band, and tie loosely so the shape is held rather than flattened. Wrapping over a pineapple or loose top knot is the usual approach.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it over braids or twists?", "answer": "Yes. A 68 cm square covers most shoulder-length braid styles when folded to a triangle, and for longer braids you can gather them first and then wrap. It is a practical silk scarf for braids because the fabric is light and does not add weight to the style.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "What colour is it?", "answer": "The maker does not state the colour or print for this scarf.

Momme is the unit used to describe how heavy a silk fabric is, and heavier fabrics tend to drape more firmly while lighter ones feel more fluid. What is stated here is that the fabric is light and breathable.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Is the hem rolled or machine stitched?", "answer": "The maker does not state the hem type. Hand-rolled hems are a traditional finish on fine silk squares and give a slightly rounded edge, while machine hems sit flatter. Either way, treat the edge gently when washing.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash only, in cool water with a mild detergent made for delicates. Swish it rather than scrubbing, rinse until the water runs clear, then press the water out in a towel. Do not wring it and do not soak it for long periods.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can I put it in the washing machine?", "answer": "Care instructions say hand wash, so a machine is not recommended. Even a delicate cycle moves fabric around more than silk likes, and a drum can snag the edges. Hand washing takes a couple of minutes and keeps the surface smooth.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "How should I dry it?", "answer": "Dry it flat on a towel or hang it in the shade with good airflow. Keep it out of direct sun and away from heaters or a tumble dryer, since heat is hard on silk. It usually dries quickly because the fabric is so light.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Yes, on the lowest silk setting, on the reverse side, while the scarf is still slightly damp. Do not use steam bursts directly on the face of the fabric. If you are unsure, place a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the silk.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Will hairspray or perfume damage it?", "answer": "Alcohol-based sprays can mark silk, so spray before you put the scarf on and let everything dry first. The same goes for perfume, which is best applied to skin away from the fabric. If something does land on it, wash the scarf by hand rather than spot rubbing it.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "How many ways can I actually tie it?", "answer": "Plenty. The common ones are a head covering with a back knot, a turban-style wrap with the tails twisted and tucked, a narrow band around a ponytail, a neck scarf at the throat, and a bow on a bag handle. Because it is square, the folds stay even no matter which you pick.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Is it big enough to use as a neck scarf?", "answer": "Yes. Folded to a triangle or rolled into a strip, 68 cm sits comfortably at the throat for most adults. It is one of the reasons a square works well as a best silk neck scarf option, since it suits both a loose drape and a tight knot.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can I use it as a hair tie?", "answer": "You can roll it narrow and tie it around a bun or ponytail instead of an elastic. Silk is smooth, so it does not grip and tug the way a rough band can. Just tie it firmly enough to hold without pulling hard on the roots.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for a protective style at night?", "answer": "Many people use a silk head covering exactly for that. Wrap the style loosely so it is held rather than crushed, and knot where it will not press into your head while you lie down. The light fabric means it does not get hot under a duvet.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Does it travel well?", "answer": "It folds down very small and the packaged weight is only 50 g, so it slips into a handbag pocket or a passport wallet. That makes it a handy travel silk scarf for flights, windy beach days or covering unwashed hair at an airport. Roll it rather than creasing it hard if you want to avoid fold lines.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Will fold lines come out?", "answer": "Usually yes. Hanging it in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes relaxes most creases, and a cool iron on the reverse side takes care of the rest. Storing it rolled or loosely folded rather than pressed flat under other items helps avoid them in the first place.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Does silk shrink?", "answer": "Silk can tighten up if it is washed in hot water or dried with heat. Cool water and air drying avoid the issue. Stick to the hand wash instruction and the scarf should keep its 68 x 68 cm size.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Is it a good gift?", "answer": "It is an easy one, because it suits most hair types and does not need a size. A square silk scarf gift works for a birthday, a thank you, or a small present that still feels considered. It also packs flat, so it posts easily inside a card-sized parcel.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can men wear it?", "answer": "Yes. Worn as a neck scarf, a bandana fold, or tied over the head under a cap, it is not style-specific. The size suits most adults either way.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Is the colour likely to run?", "answer": "Wash it on its own the first time, in cool water, and check the rinse water before you add anything else. That is standard practice with any dyed silk. Avoid leaving it damp and bunched against other fabrics.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "How much does it weigh?", "answer": "The packaged weight is listed as 50 g, and the package measures 24.5 x 18.8 x 2.1 cm. The scarf itself is lighter than that figure since it includes packaging. In the hand it feels close to weightless.", "source": "Square Mulberry Silk Hair Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/square-mulberry-silk-hair-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "How long does delivery take?", "answer": "Delivery is tracked and goes to every province, taking 10 to 20 working days.

Silk is a smooth fibre, so hair slides over it with less friction than over cotton or a bare band. That is the main practical reason people look for the best silk hair ties.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 6 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/black-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-6-pack/" }, { "question": "Will these leave a dent in my hair?", "answer": "A soft scrunchie leaves far less of a ridge than a thin elastic because the pressure is spread over a wider, padded band. If you want the smallest mark possible, keep the ponytail a touch looser and use one fewer wrap.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 6 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/black-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-6-pack/" }, { "question": "Are they strong enough for thick hair?", "answer": "Yes. With thick hair most people find two loops hold well, and the gathered silk sits as a soft cuff at the base of the ponytail. Many shoppers with heavy hair rate scrunchies among the best scrunchies for thick hair for this reason.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 6 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/black-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-6-pack/" }, { "question": "Will they hold fine or slippery hair?", "answer": "Fine hair usually needs three loops rather than two, which tightens the grip without adding pressure in one spot. Twisting the ponytail once before the final loop also helps it stay put.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 6 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/black-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-6-pack/" }, { "question": "Are they suitable for curly hair?", "answer": "Curly hair tends to do well with a wide soft band because there is no hard edge pressing into the curl pattern. Looped loosely, they work for a pineapple, a half-up or a low puff.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 6 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/black-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-6-pack/" }, { "question": "How stretchy are they?", "answer": "They use a covered elastic band with normal scrunchie stretch, so they open comfortably over a hand and over a full ponytail. The maker does not state an exact stretched measurement.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 6 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/black-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-6-pack/" }, { "question": "What size are they?", "answer": "The pack measures 10.2 x 9.6 x 1.9 cm (4 x 3.8 x 0.7 in) as it is packed.

It is the easy choice for everyday wear because it reads neutral against dark, light and grey hair alike.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 6 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/black-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-6-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I wear them to sleep?", "answer": "Many people do. Loop one around a loose plait or a high bun so the hair is contained without being pulled tight, which is why they are often picked as the best scrunchies for sleeping.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 6 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/black-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-6-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I wear them on my wrist?", "answer": "Yes, and the soft band is comfortable there all day. A scrunchie on the wrist is less likely to leave the deep red line a thin elastic can.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 6 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/black-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-6-pack/" }, { "question": "Are they good for the gym?", "answer": "They hold a ponytail or bun through normal training and the wide band does not dig in under a cap or headband. Rinse and dry them after a sweaty session so the silk stays fresh.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 6 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/black-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-6-pack/" }, { "question": "Will they survive swimming?", "answer": "Chlorinated and salt water are hard on both silk and elastic, so keep a cheap band for the pool.

Looping once or twice instead of three times reduces it further.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Do they work for thick hair?", "answer": "Yes. On thick or very long hair you will usually get two wraps rather than three, which is a comfortable everyday hold. If you want the best hair ties for thick hair, two firm wraps with a scrunchie this size is a sensible pairing.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Are they strong enough for fine hair?", "answer": "Fine hair can usually take three wraps, which tightens the hold nicely. The silk cover stops the tie slipping straight out the way a loose plain elastic sometimes does. Many people shopping for the best silk hair ties for fine hair prefer a smaller scrunchie like this one.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I use them on curly hair?", "answer": "Yes, the maker lists all hair types including curly. Curls tend to catch on textured fabrics, so the smooth silk surface is a help when you take the tie out. Loosen rather than yank, and the curl pattern stays more intact.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I sleep in them?", "answer": "Plenty of people use silk scrunchies overnight for a loose bun or a pineapple. A loose single wrap is more comfortable than a tight one when you are lying down. These are often shopped for as the best sleep scrunchies for that reason.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Will they hold during exercise?", "answer": "The inner band is a high-elasticity type, so a double wrap will usually hold through a gym session or a run. For heavy, bouncy movement some people add a second tie lower down the ponytail. Having four in the pack makes that easy.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Do they fit on the wrist?", "answer": "Yes, at about 6 cm flat they sit close to the wrist rather than bunching up. That makes them easy to carry under a sleeve or a jacket. They are a common pick when people look for the best wrist scrunchies.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "What shade of brown is it?", "answer": "The colour is described simply as brown, and all four pieces in the pack share it. Exact shade and finish can read slightly differently under daylight versus indoor lighting. Treat it as a mid-tone brown that works across brunette and chestnut hair.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Will the brown match my hair colour?", "answer": "Brown blends well with brunette, chestnut, auburn and darker blonde hair, where the tie more or less disappears in a ponytail. On light blonde, silver or grey hair it reads as a visible accessory instead. Either look works, it just depends what you want.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Is the whole scrunchie silk?", "answer": "The outer cover is silk. Inside is an elastic band, which is what gives the stretch and the hold, and that part is not silk on any scrunchie of this type. The maker does not state the exact elastic composition.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Is there a momme weight listed?", "answer": "No, the maker does not state a momme weight for the silk. Momme is a weight measure usually quoted for silk pillowcases and sheeting. For a scrunchie the practical thing is the smoothness of the surface and the strength of the inner band.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "How do I wash them?", "answer": "Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, swish gently and rinse well. Press the water out between your hands or a towel rather than wringing, then reshape and dry flat. Keep them out of direct sun and away from heaters.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can they go in the washing machine?", "answer": "Hand washing is the safer route for silk and for the elastic inside. If you must machine wash, use a mesh laundry bag on a cold delicate cycle and accept some extra wear. Never tumble dry them.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I iron a silk scrunchie?", "answer": "Do not iron the silk directly. The gathered shape will relax on its own once the scrunchie is dry and worn a few times. Heat is the main enemy of both the silk and the elastic.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash them?", "answer": "Every week or two for a tie in daily use, and sooner if you wear it after the gym or with hair products. Rotating between the four in the pack means each one gets a rest. That rotation is part of why a multi pack lasts longer than a single.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "How long will they last?", "answer": "That depends on how hard you stretch them and how often they are washed. Elastic in any hair tie relaxes over time, and silk wears faster if it is snagged on velcro, pins or rough clips. Gentle washing and careful storage extend the life considerably.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can they snag my hair?", "answer": "Silk is smooth, so a tie in good condition should not catch. The risk comes from a pulled thread in the fabric, usually caused by a sharp clip or velcro. Check the surface now and then and retire any piece with a rough patch.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Are they suitable for children?", "answer": "They work on children's hair the same way they work on adult hair, with a softer pull on removal. Supervise small children with any elastic accessory. For very fine young hair, a single or double wrap is usually plenty.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can men use them?", "answer": "Yes. A brown scrunchie on a man bun or a short ponytail is about as low key as a hair tie gets. The hold and the smooth surface work the same regardless of who is wearing it.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Do they make a good gift?", "answer": "A four pack of silk scrunchies is an easy small gift, a stocking filler or an add-on to a bigger present. Brown is a safe colour that suits most people. If you want the best silk gift set for her without guessing a size, hair accessories are a good bet.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Are they good for travelling?", "answer": "They weigh almost nothing, the pack is 14.5 grams in total, and they squash flat into any pocket of a bag. Taking a couple means you still have one if the other goes missing on the road. They are a sensible pick for the best travel hair ties slot in a packing list.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I wear them in the pool or the sea?", "answer": "Chlorine and salt water are hard on silk and on elastic. If you swim, use a cheap elastic for the water and keep the silk ones dry. Rinse in cool fresh water straight away if they do get wet.", "source": "Brown Mulberry Silk Hair Ties, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/brown-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "What are the delivery options?", "answer": "Delivery is tracked and goes to every province, with an expected 10 to 20 working days.

It is the type most commonly used for silk bedding and hair accessories. The maker states these scrunchies are 100% mulberry silk.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "How big are they?", "answer": "These are the large size. The band stretches from roughly 10 cm to 22 cm, which is about 3.94 to 8.66 inches. That range is wide enough to hold a thick ponytail in one or two turns.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Will they fit thick hair?", "answer": "Yes. The large size and long stretch range are the reason this set suits thick hair well. Most people with a full ponytail will find one or two wraps is enough, which is less pull than winding a small elastic four times.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Are they any good for fine or thin hair?", "answer": "They work for fine hair too. The wide silk band adds visual bulk, so a small ponytail still looks full rather than swamped. The maker lists the scrunchies as suitable for straight, curly, thick and thin hair.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Do silk scrunchies really leave less of a dent?", "answer": "A wide, soft band spreads the pressure over more hair than a thin elastic does, so the crease it leaves is much gentler. Many people find they can wear one overnight and shake their hair out in the morning. It is physics, not magic, so a very tight ponytail worn for twelve hours will still show a little.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Why are silk scrunchies better than ordinary elastics?", "answer": "The main difference is friction. Silk has a smooth surface, so strands slide across it rather than catching, while a bare elastic or a rough fabric grabs. That matters most when you take the tie out.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Can I sleep in them?", "answer": "Yes, plenty of people use these as sleeping scrunchies. Wind your hair into a loose bun or pineapple on top of your head and keep the tie slack rather than tight. This is one of the best uses for a large silk scrunchie.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "What are the three colours like in real life?", "answer": "Black is a true dark neutral. Apricot is a warm, soft peach. Champagne is a pale, slightly golden neutral that sits between cream and beige. Screens vary, so expect small differences in tone.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Do the colours match standard hair shades?", "answer": "Black tends to disappear in dark hair, while champagne blends well with blonde and light brown. Apricot reads as a deliberate accent on most hair colours. The three together cover both the hide-it and show-it approaches.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "What is inside the scrunchie?", "answer": "A stretch elastic band, wrapped in silk fabric. The elastic does the holding and never touches your hair directly, which is the whole point of the design.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Will the elastic go slack over time?", "answer": "All elastic relaxes with use, so a scrunchie worn hard every single day will loosen eventually.

If you do machine wash, use a mesh laundry bag, cold water and the gentlest cycle, then dry flat. Hot water and a tumble dryer are the two things most likely to ruin silk.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Can I iron a silk scrunchie?", "answer": "If it needs pressing, use a cool iron on the silk only, with a cloth between the iron and the fabric.

Most of the time hanging or laying it flat to dry is enough.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash them?", "answer": "Every week or two for everyday wear is a reasonable rhythm, and more often if you use styling products or wear them to the gym. Hair oils transfer to fabric, so a quick wash keeps the silk looking fresh.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Are they suitable for curly hair?", "answer": "Yes. The maker lists curly hair among the suitable types, and a low friction band is particularly welcome on curls because it is gentler on the curl pattern when you take it out. Many people with curls rate these among the best silk scrunchies for pineappling at night.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Can I use one on a wet or damp bun?", "answer": "You can, but silk dries slowly, so take it off once and let it dry flat rather than leaving it damp in a drawer. A damp scrunchie left bunched up for days can develop a musty smell.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Will they work in a man's hair or long beard?", "answer": "There is nothing gendered about a hair tie. The large size holds shoulder length and longer hair easily, and the black one is the obvious pick if you would rather it not stand out.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Are these suitable for children?", "answer": "The age range listed by the maker is adult, mainly because the large size is sized for adult ponytails. An older child with long, thick hair would still get on with them, but small children will find the band oversized.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Can I wear one on my wrist?", "answer": "Yes, that is half the appeal of a wide scrunchie. Silk sits comfortably against the wrist and does not dig in the way a thin elastic does. It also looks more like an accessory than a spare hair tie.", "source": "Large Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 3 Pack (Black, Apricot, Champagne)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/large-silk-scrunchies-3-pack-black-apricot-champagne/" }, { "question": "Is this a good gift?", "answer": "It is a safe, easy gift.

Mulberry silk is a smooth, finely woven fibre, which is why hair slides over it instead of snagging.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack/" }, { "question": "How wide is the band?", "answer": "About 1 cm (0.4 in), which is why they are described as skinny or slim scrunchies.

With fine hair you simply wrap the band three or four times instead of once.

A 19 momme fabric has more silk per square metre than a 16 or 12 momme fabric, so it feels denser and drapes rather than floats. It is the single most useful number when you compare silk masks.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Is this real silk or a silk blend?", "answer": "It is 100% mulberry silk, which is the long-fibre cultivated silk most often used for bedding and masks. There is no polyester blend in the face fabric.

That is a standard adult coverage across the brow, eyes and the top of the cheekbones. It folds flat, so the packed size is about the same as a postcard.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "How heavy is it?", "answer": "Around 45 g in total. That is light enough that most people stop noticing it within a minute or two of putting it on, which is the point of a silk mask rather than a padded one.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "What colour is it?", "answer": "Solid black with no pattern or print. A plain dark face is the practical choice for a mask because there is nothing to fade in the wash and nothing to show marks the way a pale colour would.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Why twin straps instead of one?", "answer": "One strap has to carry all the tension, so it tends to press into a single line and slip when you move. Two straps sit apart on the back of the head and share the load, which keeps the mask flatter against the face. Both of these straps adjust.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Will it fit a small head or a large one?", "answer": "The straps are fully adjustable, so the fit range covers most adult head sizes. Set it so the mask sits flush without pulling on the temples.

The mask is thin and the twin straps hold it steady, so it is far less likely to be shoved out of place when your face presses into the pillow.

No soft mask forms a perfect seal at the nose, so a thin sliver of light can sometimes reach the lower edge. Adjusting the strap position usually sorts that out.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it on a flight?", "answer": "It is a sensible thing to pack for one. It weighs 45 g, folds flat and does not take up meaningful room in a carry-on, so it is often picked as the best silk eye mask for flights. It works the same on a long bus or train trip.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Does silk feel hot to wear?", "answer": "Silk breathes well and this mask has no thick foam padding, so it does not trap heat the way a moulded blackout mask can. It is a reasonable choice in warm weather. If you run very hot, keep the straps loose enough for a little air movement at the edges.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent or a gentle soap. Swirl it gently, rinse, and press the water out rather than wringing or twisting. Lay it flat or hang it to air dry out of direct sun.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I put it in the washing machine?", "answer": "The stated care is a hand wash with a mild detergent and air drying, so that is what we would stick to. A machine cycle puts twisting stress on the straps and the seams. Hand washing a mask this small takes under two minutes.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I tumble dry it?", "answer": "No. Air dry only. Heat is hard on silk fibres and on elastic, so a dryer shortens the life of both the fabric and the straps.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Every week or two is a good rhythm for something worn against the face nightly. Wash it more often in hot weather or if you apply anything to your face before bed. It dries quickly, so it is easy to keep on top of.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "If it needs smoothing, use the lowest iron setting on the reverse of the silk, and keep the iron away from the elastic straps. Most of the time hanging it to dry is enough and no pressing is needed.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Will the black colour run in the wash?", "answer": "Wash it on its own the first couple of times in cool water, which is standard practice for any dark dyed fabric. Cool water and a mild detergent are the safest combination.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for children?", "answer": "It is described for adults. The sizing is cut to an adult face, and we would not recommend a strapped mask for young children. For an older teen it will generally fit fine since the straps adjust.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it come in a set or on its own?", "answer": "It is sold as a single mask, one count per pack.

At 19 momme the fabric has more body, sits more smoothly against the skin and generally holds up better to repeated washing. It is the main reason people hunting for the best mulberry silk eye mask look at momme first.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Will it crease my face?", "answer": "Silk is a smooth fibre and skin slides over it with less friction than cotton, so there is less dragging at the edges. A mask strapped too tightly will still leave a pressure line, so set the straps so the mask rests rather than clamps.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it good for shift workers?", "answer": "Daytime sleeping is exactly where a mask earns its keep, which is why it often comes up as the best silk mask for shift workers. Pair it with curtains if your room gets strong afternoon sun, since no soft mask replaces a dark room entirely.", "source": "19 Momme Mulberry Silk Sleeping Mask with Twin Adjustable Straps", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/19-momme-silk-sleeping-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I use it for a nap at a desk?", "answer": "Yes.

A higher momme number means a denser, heavier silk. At 22 momme this sits at the heavier end of what is commonly used for sleep masks and pillowcases.", "source": "22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Why is a contoured mask different from a flat one?", "answer": "A flat mask rests directly on your eyelids, so you feel it every time your eyes move. A contoured mask has moulded cups that arch over the eye sockets, leaving an air space in front of each eye. Many people find that more comfortable for long wear.", "source": "22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Can I open my eyes while wearing it?", "answer": "Yes.

How dark it is for you depends on your face shape, since every nose and brow line is slightly different. Adjust the strap until the bottom edge of the mask seals against your cheeks.", "source": "22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Is it good for shift workers sleeping in daylight?", "answer": "That is one of the main uses for a blackout mask. Daytime sleep is usually broken by light rather than noise, and a mask that seals around the nose makes a bigger difference than curtains alone in most rooms.", "source": "22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Will it fit a smaller face?", "answer": "The strap is adjustable, so the fit can be pulled in. The moulded shell itself is one size, so the cups will sit a little wider on a very small face.

Tummy sleepers generally find the same thing.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Mulberry Silk Eye Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-silk-eye-mask-black/" }, { "question": "How do I adjust the fit?", "answer": "Open the hook-and-loop strap, place the mask over your eyes with the nose pad seated on your nose bridge, then pull the strap to a snug but relaxed tension and press it closed. You want it firm enough to seal and loose enough that you forget it is there.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Mulberry Silk Eye Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-silk-eye-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Will it fit a large head?", "answer": "The hook-and-loop strap adjusts across a wide range, which is why this style works for most adult head sizes. It is an adult mask, so very small children are not the intended user.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Mulberry Silk Eye Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-silk-eye-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Can men wear it?", "answer": "Yes.

Black is the usual choice for a blackout sleep mask because dark fabric reflects the least light back towards the eye.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Mulberry Silk Eye Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-silk-eye-mask-black/" }, { "question": "What size is it?", "answer": "It arrives in packaging measuring roughly 24.2 x 13.6 x 1.9 cm (9.5 x 5.4 x 0.7 in). The mask itself folds flat inside that and weighs around 60 grams in total.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Mulberry Silk Eye Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-silk-eye-mask-black/" }, { "question": "How heavy is it on the face?", "answer": "Very light.

The cushioned band keeps direct pressure off the eye itself.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Mulberry Silk Eye Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-silk-eye-mask-black/" }, { "question": "How is it delivered?", "answer": "Delivery is tracked to every province and usually takes 10 to 20 working days.

A silk eye mask gift suits new parents, frequent flyers, light sleepers and anyone sharing a room with a night owl, and the black colour avoids the guesswork of picking someone else's palette.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Mulberry Silk Eye Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-silk-eye-mask-black/" }, { "question": "What if it is not right for me?", "answer": "You have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, as long as the mask is unused and unwashed.

The band is also wide and cushioned rather than a thin strap.

How complete the darkness is depends on your face shape and how snugly you set the band. Nobody can promise total blackout on every face, but this shape is designed for it.", "source": "22 Momme Silk Sleep Mask for Side Sleepers", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/22-momme-silk-sleep-mask-for-side-sleepers/" }, { "question": "Does the fabric touch my eyelids?", "answer": "No. The contoured cups leave space over the eyes, so you can blink and open your eyes inside the mask.

Silk is a smooth, continuous fibre, so skin slides over it with less friction than over woven cotton.

That means the surface touching your eyelids is silk, not a lining fabric. It is one of the things worth checking when you compare any mulberry silk sleep mask, because some masks use silk only on the outer face.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "How does the strap adjust?", "answer": "The strap uses a buckle. You slide it to shorten or lengthen the band, then it holds that setting until you change it again. This is different from a plain sewn elastic, which is fixed at one length.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "Will it fit a larger head?", "answer": "The buckle lets you let the strap out, so the range is wider than a fixed band.

In practice, how much light reaches you also depends on your face shape and how snugly you set the strap. A looser strap leaves more of a gap along the nose.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "Is this a good blackout sleep mask for shift work?", "answer": "It is designed for exactly that kind of use, sleeping while the world outside is bright. Many people pair a mask with heavy curtains or a blind for daytime sleep.

A flat mask sits closer to the face and packs smaller, while a contoured mask leaves more space in front of the lashes. Which you prefer is personal.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "Will the mask press on my eyelashes?", "answer": "Because it is a soft flat silk panel, it will rest lightly against the lashes if your strap is tight. Loosening the buckle a notch usually solves it. Anyone who wears lash extensions tends to prefer a looser setting.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it on my side?", "answer": "Yes. A flat silk mask is one of the easier styles for side sleepers because there is no rigid frame to dig in when your face meets the pillow. The buckle sits on the back of the head, so turn it slightly off-centre if you feel it against the pillow.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "Does the buckle catch on hair?", "answer": "A buckle sits flat against the head and does not have the velcro hooks that are the usual hair-snagging culprits. Lifting the strap over your hair rather than dragging it down also helps. Long hair tied loosely before you put the mask on is the simplest fix.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "Can two people share the pair?", "answer": "That is one of the obvious uses of a two pack. Each person takes a colour and sets their own strap length, so neither has to readjust every night. It also makes the set a practical gift for a couple.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for travel?", "answer": "It is light, flat and comes with its own storage bag, so it slips into a carry-on or handbag without taking real space. Many buyers choose a silk sleep mask for travel specifically because it weighs almost nothing and does not crush.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash only, in cool water with a mild detergent made for delicates.

A machine cycle, even a delicate one, puts more strain and friction on silk than it needs. Hand washing takes a couple of minutes and keeps the surface smooth.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "It depends on your routine. If you apply night cream or sleep in warm weather, washing every week or two is sensible. If the mask only goes on for flights, washing after each trip is enough.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Silk creases can usually be smoothed by hanging the mask in a steamy bathroom or laying it flat while damp. If you do iron, use the lowest setting with a cloth between the iron and the silk, and keep the iron away from the strap and buckle.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "Will the colours fade?", "answer": "Keeping the masks out of direct sun while drying is the main thing. Strong detergents and hot water are the other common causes of colour loss in dyed fabrics. Cool water and a gentle wash keep navy and pink looking as they should.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "Are these the same as a silk pillowcase?", "answer": "They are the same kind of fabric used for a different job. A pillowcase covers the whole pillow, while a mask covers only your eyes and blocks light. Plenty of people use both, since the mask handles light and the pillowcase handles the rest of the face.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "Does the mask smell of chemicals out of the pack?", "answer": "The maker describes the mask as having no chemical smell. If anything lingers from packaging, airing the mask for a day or giving it a gentle hand wash before first use usually settles it.", "source": "Adjustable Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Navy and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/adjustable-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-navy-pink/" }, { "question": "What size is the actual mask?", "answer": "The maker publishes packaging dimensions of 23.19 x 11.71 x 2.59 cm but does not state the finished dimensions of the mask panel itself.

The buckle is positioned at the back of the head.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is this suitable for side sleepers?", "answer": "The buckle sitting at the back rather than at the side is the main reason people call this one of the best sleep masks for side sleepers. There is no hard fastener pressed between your temple and the pillow. The mask itself is flat and light, so it does not create a pressure point on the cheekbone.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will it fit a larger head?", "answer": "The strap is adjustable, which is how the mask covers a wide range of head sizes with a single size. Set the length so the mask sits snug but not tight. The maker does not publish an exact strap range.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What are the mask's own dimensions?", "answer": "The maker gives package dimensions of 23.19 x 11.99 x 1.09 cm (about 9.1 x 4.7 x 0.4 inches). The mask itself sits inside that footprint. A separate measurement for the mask alone is not stated.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How heavy is it?", "answer": "The package weight is listed as 32 grams, so the mask is extremely light. That is a big part of why it suits long flights and daytime naps. You stop noticing it quite quickly.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What colour options are there?", "answer": "This one is Original Black, a solid colour with no pattern. Black is the easy choice if you want something that does not show up under a reading light or clash with anything. Other colourways are not part of this product.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is there any padding or a gel insert?", "answer": "No. The design is minimalist, built from silk and cotton layers rather than foam cups, bead fill or gel. That keeps the weight down and the profile flat.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I wash it at home?", "answer": "The care instruction from the maker is dry clean only, so home washing is not recommended. If you want a mask you can rinse out often, a dry clean only silk piece is probably not the right pick. Keeping creams off it reduces how often cleaning is needed.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How do I keep it clean between cleans?", "answer": "Let it air out somewhere dry after a warm night instead of shutting it straight into a bag. Wipe nothing onto it. Apply eye cream well before bed so it has absorbed by the time the mask goes on.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will the black colour fade?", "answer": "Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from strong cosmetics and the colour should stay even. Sun is harder on dyed silk than normal wear is. Storing it flat in a drawer or pouch is enough.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it good for travel?", "answer": "Yes, and it is one of the better travel sleep mask options for exactly that reason. At 32 grams and barely a centimetre thick packed, it fits a jacket pocket. There is nothing rigid in it to get crushed.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it work for daytime sleeping?", "answer": "Shift workers and anyone napping in the afternoon are a natural fit for this kind of mask. It is a simple black fabric mask designed to sit over the eyes and keep light off them. How dark it is for you depends on your face shape and how you set the strap.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for men?", "answer": "Yes. It is a plain black mask with no print, no trim and no decoration, which is usually what people are after when they look for the best silk eye mask for men. The strap adjusts, so it is not sized small.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can children use it?", "answer": "The maker lists the age range as adult, so it is designed and sized for adults. A child would likely find the strap too long even at its shortest setting. For young children, choose something made for that age group.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will it crush my eyelashes?", "answer": "The mask is flat rather than contoured, so it does rest lightly against the lashes. Setting the strap a little looser gives more room. Some people who want zero lash contact prefer a moulded cup style instead.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it get warm?", "answer": "Silk and cotton are both breathable natural fibres, and there is no foam layer to trap heat. Compared with a thick padded mask, this one sits cooler. It is a light fabric mask, not an insulated one.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Who do I contact with a question about this product?", "answer": "Email theteam@mulberrysilk.co.za with the product name and, if you have already ordered, your order number. A real person replies, usually within one working day.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is the silk graded by momme weight?", "answer": "The maker does not state a momme weight for this mask. The material is described as a silk outer with a cotton inner, with the material features listed as natural and organic. Beyond that, no grading figure is given.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How many masks come in a pack?", "answer": "One. The unit count is listed as 1 count, pack of 1. If you want a spare for travel, order two.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it come with a storage pouch?", "answer": "The listing covers the mask only, with a unit count of one. A pouch is not listed as included. Any small drawstring bag will do the job for storage.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Would this make a good gift?", "answer": "It is a common choice as a silk sleep mask gift because it is small, plain and useful, and the single adjustable size removes the guesswork. Black suits most people. It also posts easily in a card-sized box.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How long does delivery take?", "answer": "Delivery is tracked and goes to every province in 10 to 20 working days.

Orders are not split across shipments.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What does delivery cost?", "answer": "Delivery is R250 on orders under R1800 and free on orders of R1800 and above.

No other payment methods are offered.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I return it if I change my mind?", "answer": "Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, provided the mask is unused and unwashed. Keep the packaging so it travels back safely.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What if it arrives damaged?", "answer": "Contact us with your order number and a photo of the problem and we will sort it out. Do not use or wash the mask if you are reporting a fault. Faults are handled separately from the 14 day change of mind window.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How does it compare with a cheap elastic band mask?", "answer": "The two differences you feel are the fabric and the fastening. A buckle holds its setting where a thin elastic band tends to stretch, and silk against the skin feels smoother than a synthetic lining. Whether that is worth it depends on how often you actually wear a mask.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What if this one is not right for me?", "answer": "Send it back within 14 days of delivery, unused and unwashed, and cancel the order for a refund. If the fit was the issue, tell us what did not work and we can point you at a different style in the range. Nobody should be stuck with a mask they do not wear.", "source": "Classic Black Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/classic-black-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What makes this a no pressure silk sleep mask?", "answer": "Inside the mask is a moulded foam insert that forms two shallow cups over the eye area. The silk shell sits on the brow and cheekbone instead of resting on your eyelids. You can open and close your eyes under the mask without feeling fabric against your lashes.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Will it actually block light?", "answer": "The shape is designed to close the gap beside the nose, which is where most light sneaks into a flat mask. The raised nose curve follows the face contour so you do not have to pull the strap tight to get darkness. Light blocking also depends on your own face shape, so results vary a little from person to person.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "How big is the mask?", "answer": "The mask measures 12.7 x 12.7 x 1.78 cm (about 5 x 5 x 0.7 in) when packed. The strap extends from there and adjusts with hook and loop. The cup depth is what gives it the 1.78 cm height.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "How heavy is it?", "answer": "About 17 g, or roughly 0.6 oz. That is light enough that most people forget they are wearing it after a few minutes. It is one of the reasons it works as a best travel sleep mask for long flights.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "What is the mask made of?", "answer": "The face fabric is silk, with a moulded foam insert inside creating the eye cups. The strap closes with hook and loop. The maker does not state the silk momme weight or the exact blend of the backing and strap materials.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "What colour is it?", "answer": "Black, with a letter print on the outer face. Black is a practical choice because it hides make-up marks and looks discreet when you are wearing it on a plane or in a waiting lounge.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for side sleepers?", "answer": "Yes. The closure is hook and loop rather than a bulky buckle, so there is no hard part to press into your head when your face is against the pillow. Many side sleepers rate this style as the best contoured sleep mask for that reason alone.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it with eyelash extensions?", "answer": "The eye cups are designed so the fabric does not sit on the lashes, which is the main thing people with extensions look for. It is often chosen as the best sleep mask for eyelash extensions on that basis. Take normal care when putting it on and removing it.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Will it work with contact lenses in?", "answer": "The mask does not touch the eye, so there is nothing pressing on a lens. Most eye care professionals suggest removing lenses before sleeping, so follow whatever advice you have been given. The mask itself does not change that.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Is the strap elastic?", "answer": "It closes with hook and loop rather than relying on stretch. That means you set the tension you want and it stays there, instead of loosening over months the way elastic does. It also fits a wider range of head sizes.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "How tight should I set the strap?", "answer": "Snug enough that the mask does not shift when you turn over, loose enough that you cannot feel it gripping. Start a little looser than you think you need and tighten by a centimetre at a time. A mask that is too tight will leave a line across your forehead by morning.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Does it leave marks on your face?", "answer": "There is no piping or stitched trim sitting against the skin, which is where most masks leave an indent. Silk also slides rather than drags. If you do see a line in the morning, the strap was set too tight.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Can I wear make-up under it?", "answer": "You can, but the silk will pick up foundation, eye cream and mascara. If you wear it over make-up, plan to wash it more often. Washing is easy, so this is more about habit than difficulty.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Machine wash on a gentle cycle inside a lingerie bag, or hand wash in cool water with a mild liquid detergent. Close the hook-and-loop strap first so it cannot snag the silk. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "How do I dry it?", "answer": "Press the water out in a towel without wringing, reshape the eye cups with your fingers, then dry flat away from direct sun and heaters. The foam insert holds water a little longer than the fabric, so give it a full day. That makes it one of the easier masks to live with, and a fair pick for the best machine washable sleep mask.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Only if you really need to, on the lowest silk setting, on the fabric side, and never over the moulded cups. Heat can change the shape of the foam. In practice the mask comes out of a flat dry looking fine.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Every week or two for most people. More often if you wear it over skincare or make-up, less often if you put it on with a clean face. Having two masks in rotation makes this painless.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Will it suit a small face?", "answer": "The hook-and-loop strap adjusts down as well as up, so it works across a wide range of head sizes. The cup spacing is fixed, so people with very narrow faces may find the cups sit slightly wide. Most adults find it fits comfortably.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for children?", "answer": "The age range is listed as adult. The fit and cup spacing are sized for an adult face, so it is not the right choice for a small child.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Can I use it for daytime naps?", "answer": "That is one of its best uses. Daytime light is much brighter than night light, so the shaped nose curve matters more. People who nap after a night shift or during a load shedding gap often call it the best sleep mask for load shedding naps.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Does it work for shift workers?", "answer": "Yes. Sleeping during daylight hours is the hardest sleep to protect, and a mask that blocks light without pressing on your eyes makes it easier. Combine it with a quiet room and a consistent wake time for the best result.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Will it stay on all night?", "answer": "With the strap set correctly, most people keep it on through the night. Very active sleepers sometimes push any mask off. The contoured shape and non-slip silk help, but no mask can promise it.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Is silk better than cotton for a mask?", "answer": "Silk is smoother, so skin and hair slide over it with less friction than over cotton. It also feels cooler against the face for most people. Cotton is a bit more absorbent, which some people prefer and others do not.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Is there any smell when it arrives?", "answer": "Any faint packaging smell fades within a day or two of airing. If you want it gone immediately, give the mask a gentle hand wash and dry it flat. The dye used is described as non-toxic.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Does it come in a box?", "answer": "It arrives in a wrapped box, which makes it tidy to hand over as a gift without extra wrapping. The box is slim enough to post or slip into a gift bag.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "Is it a good gift?", "answer": "It suits new parents, frequent flyers, students in shared housing and anyone who complains about the streetlight outside their window. It is one size adjustable, which removes the usual sizing worry with gifts. A black mask is also easy to give to anyone.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "How long does delivery take?", "answer": "Delivery is tracked, to every province, in 10 to 20 working days.

If you have already worn it and something has gone wrong, tell us what happened and send a photo, and we will sort it out. We would rather fix the problem than argue about it.", "source": "Contoured No-Pressure Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/contoured-silk-sleep-mask-no-pressure-black/" }, { "question": "What exactly comes in the pack?", "answer": "You get two children's sleep masks in mulberry silk. Both are blue with printed designs in an exploring theme, one starry astronaut and one dinosaur. Each mask has its own adjustable elastic strap.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "How big is each mask?", "answer": "Each mask is roughly 18 x 9 cm (7 x 3.5 in), which is a children's size rather than a scaled down adult one. That width covers the eyes and brow with a little overlap at the sides. The height is enough to reach from the brow bone to just under the eye socket.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "What age is this suitable for?", "answer": "The mask is suggested for children around 3 to 10 years old. Older children with smaller faces may still get a good fit because the strap adjusts. For very young toddlers, use your own judgement about whether a face covering is appropriate at night.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Is it real silk?", "answer": "The material is listed as silk, specifically mulberry silk, on both faces of the mask. The momme weight and weave are not given, so we cannot quote those numbers. What we can say is that silk is a fine, smooth fibre that slides over skin with less friction than cotton.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Why does silk on both sides matter?", "answer": "Many cheaper masks use silk on the outer face only and a synthetic lining against the skin. Here both faces are silk, so the surface touching the child's eyelids is the smooth one. It also means the mask behaves the same way if it gets turned inside out in the wash.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Does it actually block all the light?", "answer": "It is described as a complete blackout mask, and the shape is cut to sit close over the nose and brow where light usually leaks in. How total the blackout feels depends on the fit on your child's face. A properly tightened strap makes a big difference.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "How does the strap adjust?", "answer": "The elastic strap runs through a buckle that you slide to shorten or lengthen the loop. Set it so the mask sits flat without pressing, then leave it. You can readjust as your child grows.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Will the strap pull hair?", "answer": "A flat elastic strap is gentler than a knotted cord, but any strap can catch hair if it is twisted. Lift the hair out from under the strap when you put the mask on. For long hair, settle the strap above the ponytail rather than through it.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Is it too tight around the head?", "answer": "It should not be. The point of the buckle is to let you set a fit that holds the mask in place without squeezing. If you can slide two fingers under the strap at the back, it is about right.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Can my child take it off themselves in the night?", "answer": "Yes. A simple elastic strap pulls off over the forehead with one hand. Children usually manage this from around three years old without any help.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Is this a good travel sleep mask for kids?", "answer": "It is well suited to it. At 50 grams for both masks and packing completely flat, it fits in a seat pocket or a small bag. It works for flights, long drives, hotel rooms with thin curtains and camping.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Will it work for daytime naps?", "answer": "That is one of the better uses for it. Afternoon light through a curtain is often what keeps a child from settling for a nap. A blackout mask handles that without you having to black out a whole room.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Does it put pressure on the eyes?", "answer": "The design sits over the eye socket and rests on the brow bone and cheek rather than pressing on the eyeball itself. Children can blink underneath it. If the mask is strapped very tightly it will feel more present, so err on the looser side.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Is silk better than a cotton mask for children?", "answer": "Silk is smoother and finer, so there is less drag against skin and eyelashes when a child turns over. Cotton is a bit more absorbent and heavier. Neither is a health product, the difference is how it feels.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Can both of my children use one each?", "answer": "Yes, and that is a common reason people buy the two pack. Each mask has its own adjustable strap, so you can set different fits.

Do not bleach, do not soak for long and do not put them in the tumble dryer.

If you must use a machine, use a mesh laundry bag on the coldest, gentlest cycle, and accept that silk will wear faster this way. Heat and agitation are what damage silk fibres.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Will the printed design fade?", "answer": "Any printed fabric fades with harsh washing, hot water and direct sunlight. Keep the water cool, skip the bleach and dry the masks in the shade and the prints will hold their colour much longer.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash them?", "answer": "Every week or two for regular night use is a sensible rhythm, and sooner if the child has been unwell or the mask gets marked.

Keep the iron off the elastic strap entirely. Most of the time, drying flat removes the creases on its own.", "source": "Kids Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/kids-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack/" }, { "question": "Is there a momme weight listed?", "answer": "No. The maker does not state a momme weight for this mask.

Some find a mask comforting because it is their own small, controlled darkness that they can remove at will. Others would rather see the room.

The material is listed as silk with both faces made the same way, so the surface touching your skin is the same as the one facing out. That avoids the common problem of a smooth front with a rougher lining underneath.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "What size is the mask?", "answer": "The listed pack dimensions are about 23.98 cm long, 13.49 cm wide and 1.57 cm deep, which is roughly 9.4 by 5.3 by 0.6 inches. The exact cut of a single mask flat on a table is not stated separately, so treat the pack figure as a guide to overall width.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "Will it fit my head?", "answer": "The strap is adjustable, so you can set the length to suit you rather than relying on one fixed size.

The strap sits low enough at the back that it is not usually in the way. If you move a lot, set the strap slightly firmer so the mask does not slide.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "Does it block all light?", "answer": "It covers the eye area and sits across the nose bridge to cut out most ambient light. Total blackout depends on your face shape and how snug you set the strap, so a small amount of light can still come in at the bridge on some people. The maker does not state a light blocking percentage.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "What is mulberry silk?", "answer": "Mulberry silk is silk from silkworms fed on mulberry leaves, which produces long, even fibres and a smooth, fine surface.

Momme weight and weave are not stated.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "Is it the best silk sleep mask for travel?", "answer": "It is a sensible travel choice because it is light, folds flat and takes up very little bag space. Having two in the pack means one can stay in your luggage permanently. For flights, set the strap a little looser so you can lift the mask quickly for cabin service.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "Can men use it?", "answer": "Yes, it is an adult mask with an adjustable strap and no gendered sizing.

Machine agitation is hard on fine silk and on elastic. Hand washing takes about two minutes and keeps both the fabric and the strap in better shape.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Every one to two weeks is reasonable for nightly use, and sooner if you use night creams or wear make up to bed. Washing more often is fine as long as you stay with cool water and a gentle detergent. Having a second mask in the pack makes a rotation easy.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "How long does it take to dry?", "answer": "Pressed in a towel and laid flat, silk usually dries in a few hours in a warm room. Keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators or heaters, which make silk brittle over time. Never tumble dry it.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "If it creases, use the lowest setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and the silk. Keep the iron away from the elastic strap entirely. In most cases hanging or laying it flat after a wash is enough.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "Will it crush my eyelashes?", "answer": "The mask lies flat rather than domed, so lashes do rest against the fabric. Silk is smooth, so there is less drag than with a cotton mask. If you want more lash clearance, set the strap one notch looser.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "Does it press on the nose?", "answer": "The panel is cut to sit over the bridge without clamping it, and there is no rigid nose wire. How it feels depends on your nose shape and strap tension. Loosening the strap slightly is usually enough if you feel pressure.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for daytime naps?", "answer": "Yes, and it is one of the better uses for it. A lightweight eye mask for flights or a midday nap helps your brain treat a bright room as a dark one. Keep one at the office or in the car for this.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it for meditation or quiet time?", "answer": "Many people do. Cutting out visual input helps some people settle more quickly whether they are meditating, doing breathing work or just resting with a podcast. The adjustable strap means you can wear it sitting up without it sliding.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "Does it work with glasses or over contact lenses?", "answer": "Take glasses off before wearing it, as the mask sits directly on the face. With contact lenses, standard advice is to remove them before sleeping, which is between you and your optometrist. The mask itself does not press hard on the eyeballs.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "Is it hot to wear?", "answer": "Silk is a fine, light fibre and the mask is a single thin panel, so it is one of the cooler options compared with padded foam masks. Some people find any mask warm in high summer. A looser strap setting helps air move around the edges.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "What colour is the pink one?", "answer": "It is a plain solid pink with no print or pattern.

Some people split the pack and give one mask to each of two people. It also works well added to a small sleep or travel bundle.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "What is the pack weight?", "answer": "The listed weight is 850 g for the pack as supplied. That figure includes packaging, so the masks themselves are far lighter in the hand.

Shorten it as needed rather than replacing the mask. Keeping the strap out of hot water and off the ironing board slows this down considerably.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, 2 Pack in Black and Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-2-pack-black-pink/" }, { "question": "What if it is not right for me?", "answer": "If the fit, feel or light coverage is not what you hoped for, return it within 14 days of delivery unused and unwashed and we will sort it out. If it is just the strap tension, try adjusting it over two or three nights first, because most comfort complaints come from a mask that is slightly too tight.

A higher number means a denser, heavier fabric. At 19 momme this silk has real body to it rather than feeling papery.", "source": "Pink 19 Momme Mulberry Silk Eye Mask with Gift Box", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-19-momme-silk-eye-mask-gift-box/" }, { "question": "Is both sides silk, or just the outside?", "answer": "Both sides are 100% mulberry silk at 19 momme.

The size is generic and the strap adjusts, so it is not cut specifically for one or the other.

No soft mask seals perfectly against every face shape, so a little light may reach the edges depending on your nose bridge.", "source": "Pink 19 Momme Mulberry Silk Eye Mask with Gift Box", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/pink-19-momme-silk-eye-mask-gift-box/" }, { "question": "Is it good for travel?", "answer": "Yes, it is one of the easier things to pack.

It closes with a hook-and-loop tab so you can adjust the fit, and it comes in solid black.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "How is a wide band sleep mask different from a normal one?", "answer": "A normal mask holds on with a thin elastic cord or a narrow strap. This one uses a broad band that carries on from the eye shade across the sides of the head, so the pressure is spread out instead of concentrated on one line.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Why does the band matter for side sleepers?", "answer": "When you lie on your side, a thin strap gets pressed between your ear and the pillow, which starts to ache after a while. A wide band spreads that contact over more surface, which is why many people looking for the best sleep mask for side sleepers end up with this style.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Does it block light completely?", "answer": "It is cut larger than a standard slim eye shade and has a shaped nose area to limit light at the bridge, which is where most masks leak. How dark it gets depends on your face shape and how you set the closure, so take a minute to adjust it.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "What is the mask made of?", "answer": "The material is listed as silk, with a natural material finish.

The flat face measurement is not stated by the maker.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Will it fit a small head or a large one?", "answer": "The closure is a long hook-and-loop tab rather than a fixed elastic, so you set the circumference yourself. That is the main reason it suits a wide range of head sizes.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "How does the closure work?", "answer": "One end of the band has a hook-and-loop tab that presses onto the band itself. You pull it to the tension you want and press it down, then peel it off in the morning.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Will the hook-and-loop catch my hair?", "answer": "Press the tab flat and sit it above the hairline at the back of the head rather than in the middle of loose hair. If you have long hair, putting it up first makes the mask easier to position.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it with earplugs?", "answer": "Yes, and the wide band is one of the reasons people pair the two. Because the band covers the ear, it helps keep plugs seated rather than letting them work their way loose overnight.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Does it block sound?", "answer": "The band covers the ears, so it takes a small edge off room noise.

It also feels cool when you first put it on.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Will it crease my face?", "answer": "Any mask can leave a light mark if it is strapped on very tightly. Because the closure is adjustable, set it firm enough to stay in place and no tighter, and the marks are usually minimal.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Does it press on the eyes?", "answer": "The eye panel is flat rather than contoured, so it rests on the face rather than cupping the eye sockets. If you prefer a mask with raised domes over the eyes, this is a different style.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it with lash extensions?", "answer": "Many people choose a silk face precisely because lashes glide over a smooth fibre instead of catching.

Do not put it in the washing machine and do not scrub it in the basin, as that can mark the silk and damage the closure.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "What if it gets a small mark on it?", "answer": "Dab gently with a barely damp cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat, then take it for dry cleaning when convenient. Avoid soap, bleach and stain removers on silk.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "How should I store it?", "answer": "Lay it flat or fold it loosely in a soft pouch or a drawer. Close the hook-and-loop tab onto the band so the rough side does not snag the silk while it is stored.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Silk does not like heat, and this mask contains a closure that can be damaged. Smooth it with your hands instead and let it hang out any creases.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "How many masks come in the pack?", "answer": "One.

A black silk mask suits most people, the adjustable closure removes the sizing guesswork, and it slots neatly into a travel or bedtime gift set alongside a silk pillowcase.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask in Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-black/" }, { "question": "How is it delivered?", "answer": "Delivery is tracked and goes to every province in 10 to 20 working days.

The eye shade is larger than a typical mask and the strap is a wide adjustable band rather than a thin cord.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Why is the mask bigger than a normal eye mask?", "answer": "A larger shade puts the edges further from your lashes and cheekbones, which reduces the gaps light can slip through. It also means the mask does not press directly on your eyelids when you blink.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "What makes the wide band different from a normal elastic strap?", "answer": "A thin elastic cord concentrates pressure in one narrow line, usually right across the top of the ear. This band is broad where it passes the ears, so the same holding force is spread over a wider area.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Is this a good silk sleep mask for side sleepers?", "answer": "The wide band is the reason many side sleepers prefer this style. There is no narrow cord trapped between your ear and the pillow, so there is less to press in when half your face is on the mattress.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Does it really block out light?", "answer": "The larger cut and the shaped nose section are designed to limit light leaking at the edges. How complete the darkness feels still depends on your face shape and how you set the strap tension.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "What is the nose cut for?", "answer": "It is a shaped notch at the bridge of the nose. It lets the mask sit closer along the nose, which is normally the spot where light sneaks in on a flat, unshaped mask.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Can I adjust the fit?", "answer": "Yes. The closure runs along a long section of strap, so you can set it tighter or looser and leave it there. Most people set it once in the first week and never touch it again.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Will it fit a small head or a large head?", "answer": "The adjustable range is generous, which is the point of the long closure. Set it so the mask is held without pressure on the eyes, then test it by turning your head side to side.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "What size is the mask?", "answer": "The maker lists the packaged size as 24.31 x 13.59 x 1.9 cm (9.6 x 5.4 x 0.7 in). The exact dimensions of the eye shade on its own are not stated.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "How heavy is it?", "answer": "The packaged weight is about 68 g. That is light enough that you stop noticing it on your face after a few minutes.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "What is it made from?", "answer": "The material is listed as silk, described as a natural material. Momme weight, weave type and the precise silk grade are not stated by the maker.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "What does momme mean and why is it not listed here?", "answer": "Momme is the weight measure used for silk fabric, a bit like thread count for cotton. The maker does not state a momme figure for this mask, so we cannot quote one.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "What colour is it exactly?", "answer": "It is a soft, muted light plum. Think a gentle dusty purple rather than a bright violet, in a plain solid with no pattern.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Is there a pattern or print?", "answer": "No. The pattern is listed as solid, so the whole mask is one colour.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Why do people choose silk over cotton for an eye mask?", "answer": "Silk is a fine, smooth fibre, so it slides over skin and hair with less friction than cotton. For a mask that sits right on your face for hours, that smoother surface is the main appeal.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash only, in cool water with a mild detergent made for delicates. Do not wring or bleach, and do not put it in a tumble dryer.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Can I machine wash it on a delicate cycle?", "answer": "The care instruction is hand wash only, so we would not recommend a machine. The agitation and the drum can be hard on both the silk and the elastic in the band.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "How should I dry it?", "answer": "Press it gently between a clean dry towel to lift the water, then lay it flat to dry. Keep it out of direct sun and away from heaters, which can make silk brittle over time.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "If you iron at all, use the lowest setting with a cloth between the iron and the silk, and keep well away from the elastic. In most cases a flat dry is enough and creases fall out on their own.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Every one to two weeks is reasonable for everyday use, more often if you wear face products to bed. Washing before first use is also a good habit with any new fabric item.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Will it help with earplugs?", "answer": "The band covers the ear area, so it can help stop earplugs working their way out while you move. It is not a seal and it is not a substitute for proper plugs, it just keeps them where you put them.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Does it reduce noise?", "answer": "The band sits over the ears, so it can muffle sound slightly. It is a fabric band, not a noise-blocking product, so treat any quietening as a small bonus.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Is this a good travel sleep mask?", "answer": "Yes. It folds flat, weighs very little and takes up almost no room in a carry-on or handbag, which is what you want from a travel eye mask.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it with glasses or contact lenses on a flight?", "answer": "Take glasses off before putting the mask on, since the arms will press on your temples. For contacts, follow your optometrist's advice about wearing them while sleeping.", "source": "Wide Band Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask (Light Plum)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.co.za/wide-band-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask-light-plum/" }, { "question": "Is one size suitable for teenagers?", "answer": "The age range is listed as adult, but the adjustable strap means many older teenagers will get a comfortable fit.
