Slip is the pillowcase that started the silk pillowcase habit, and it is still the one stylists name. It is 22 momme mulberry silk on both sides, which is heavier and more durable than the thin silk in cheaper cases, and the point is friction: hair slides instead of snagging, so there is less frizz and breakage, and the face does not wake up with sheet lines.
It is a Valentine's, Mother's Day or anniversary gift that feels indulgent and gets used every single night. For a sister or girlfriend with long or curly hair it is the thing she has seen online and not bought for herself.
Queen size with an envelope closure so the pillow stays put. Hand wash or a delicate cycle in a mesh bag, air dry. The price is the price of real silk at this weight; the knock-offs at a third of the cost are the thin ones that pill.
