Why bonnets come off

Why does your hair look so good right before bed?

Because the night hasn't happened yet. By morning the bonnet is on the pillow, or it has squeezed all night. The band decides which.

Read this before you go to bed tonight

A woman with a 4c twist-out checks her hair in the bathroom mirror at night.

A band with only one setting

A woman with 4c coils sits up in bed at night, one hand at her bare hair, the other feeling across the pillow beside her.

The most common bonnet complaint in the curl community is that it slips off. The band is part of why. It has one setting, picked at the factory for no head in particular. Too loose, and it creeps a little every time you roll over.

“I have never found a bonnet that stays on my head.”

The line on the forehead at breakfast

A woman with 3c curls sits on the side of her bed at night, fingertips resting on her forehead.

The obvious fix is a tighter band, or a smaller bonnet. It trades the slip for pressure. A band tight enough to hold presses on your forehead all night, so the line it leaves is still there at breakfast. For some people, so is a headache.

“It left a dent on my forehead and gave me a headache all day.”

A band you tie to your own size

The satin bonnet laid flat on satin, its long tie band fully extended.

You tie the band at the nape, then knot it at the front or the side. You choose how snug it sits, and you can retie it any night. Fair warning: tying takes a moment longer than pulling a band on. The bonnet in the Moonkeep Night Kit is a satin bonnet with a long, adjustable tie band. Ties to fit. It's double-layer satin.

Bonnet gone by 2am? You're still on satin.

A woman with 4a coils sleeps in the satin bonnet on a satin pillowcase by lamp light.

Bonnet on your hair, satin pillowcase under your head. If the bonnet comes off in the night, you're still sleeping on satin. That's why the pillowcase pair is in the kit. Satin is a weave with a smooth surface and a lustrous face.

A morning-proof routine, in one kit

The night kit on a satin pillowcase by lamp light: the satin bonnet, the pillowcase pair and six scrunchies.

The kit holds the satin bonnet, the satin pillowcase pair in Queen size and six satin scrunchies to pineapple or band. It comes as two kits with the same pieces. Pineapple your hair? Pick Waves + Curls, 2c to 3b. Band or twist it in sections? Pick Curls + Coils, 3c to 4c. Black Friday early access is the way to get either one with free gifts, in dawn rose or sage.

Satin all night, bonnet on or off.

However the night went.

Untie the band and slide the scrunchies out. That's it.
