Greasy Roots That Come Back Fast: Why Cotton Is to Blame
Cleanse my roots →Cotton, the Hidden Accomplice of Your Greasy Roots
You wash your hair every two days but your roots are already greasy the very next morning? The real culprit may not be your shampoo, but your pillowcase. Cotton, a highly absorbent fiber, soaks up sebum from your scalp overnight then redistributes it along your lengths with every head movement, soiling your roots before you even wake up.
Silk: A Surface That Doesn't Hold Onto Sebum
Mulberry silk has a smooth, non-absorbent protein structure. Unlike cotton, it doesn't soak up sebum or redeposit it onto your hair. Your roots stay clean longer and your lengths are no longer contaminated by overnight sebum.
| Pillowcase Type | Sebum Absorption | Impact on Roots |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton & Linen | High | Greasy roots by the next day |
| Synthetic Satin | Moderate | Redeposits sebum onto lengths |
| Pure Silkhouse Silk | Zero | Roots stay clean longer |
An Easy Cycle to Break
No need to pile on dry shampoo or stretch out washes at the cost of an uncomfortable scalp. By simply switching your pillowcase, you break the cycle that soils your roots every night. The Oeko-Tex certified pure Silkhouse silk pillowcase is a simple habit for hair that stays clean longer.
