Let’s talk hair science, bestie. Because not all fabrics are created equal, especially when it comes to caring for your natural hair.
Who knew there was a formula for healthy natural hair care? If you’re like most of us, the goal growing up was to have the cutest Chinese sticks styled in the perfect “X,” or a sculpted hump that defied gravity—bobby pins and all. If you know, you know. But now, with natural hair routines finally taking up space on our feeds (and in our hearts), we’re learning how to truly care for our crowns. From the LOC method (liquid, oil, cream) to choosing the best protective styles—and yes, even understanding the right hair accessory fabrics—we're getting smarter about our strands.
Let’s break down the big one: satin vs. cotton.
Cotton might be breathable for clothes and cozy for sheets, but when it comes to curly or coily hair? It’s a trap. Cotton absorbs moisture—meaning it pulls hydration straight from your strands. It also creates friction, which leads to frizz, breakage, and thinning edges over time. If you've ever wondered why your twist-out didn't survive the night, your pillowcase (or that old cotton scrunchie) might be the reason.
Satin, on the other hand, is where softness meets science. Our Roots & Reign satin scrunchies and bows are made from high-quality satin designed to glide over your hair, not pull on it. They help:
-
Reduce friction and tension
-
Lock in moisture and shine
-
Extend the life of your hairstyle
Whether you're stretching a silk press, protecting a twist-out, or pulling your curls into a puff before bed, satin works with your hair—not against it.
So no, a scrunchie isn’t just a scrunchie. It’s:
-
The difference between frizz and flourish
-
Between breakage and bounce
-
Between starting over and styling confidently
And when it’s made with intention, in colors that reflect your beauty and texture? It’s not just an accessory.
It’s your crown.
