9 Hair Bonnets to Wear While Sheltering in Place

If you have naturally kinky or coily hair, there’s a strong chance you have encountered (or at least heard of) the illustrious world of hair bonnets. Usually made of satin or silk, the bonnet is meant to protect your hair from the overnight snags and tangles that cotton pillowcases can cause.

Under normal circumstances, you might sleep with your silk hair bonnet or sleep cap, greet the morning with a smile, and—after getting ready—rip that thing off of your head so your tendrils can radiate in all their glory.

But now that many of us are staying at home most of the time, and social distancing measures are in place, our hair bonnets, scarves, and sleep caps might become ceaseless companions. And while the standard black satin hair bonnet that you find at your beauty supply store is serviceable, it doesn’t necessarily look great during WFH Zoom calls. Plus, even if video calls aren’t your concern, we could all use a bit of brightness and cheer, and a colorful bonnet might make you smile. Below, we’ve rounded up a few really cute satin and silk hair bonnets (and other headwear) to protect your hair and your sense of style.
