FAQs
Our hair wraps are hand made in India from 100% pure 19 momme high grade mulberry silk. It is the finest, high quality silk produced and momme is a unit of measurement used for silk.
Mulberry silk contains a natural amino acid and protein called sericin, popularly known as Silk protein. Sericin strengthens the hair and helps to fill in between the hair cuticles, making hair more resistant to breakage. It also has great moisture-binding capabilities, helping your hair retain moisture for longer periods of time. Not only is the surface of mulberry silk smooth, ensuring your hair strands glide over its surface, but it’s also less absorbent than other materials. Hence, it doesn’t strip away the naturally nourishing oils from your hair. By completely cocooning your hair, Esmé Luxury’s Mulberry Silk Hair Wrap provides a barrier between your head and the pillow, acting as a natural conditioner by preventing excessive breakage and reducing the production of sebum that makes hair greasy. Similarly, if you add a silk pillowcase or a silk scrunchie, along with your hair wrap, that can also help with keeping your hair and skin hydrated big time, ensuring your complete beauty routine works effectively overnight.
Our cute hair wrap is made of 100% pure mulberry silk, so we advise dry clean only as a precautionary measure. However, many of our clients successfully hand wash their hair wraps in cold water with gentle detergent. Rinse well, squeeze out surplus moisture by rolling in a towel and hang to dry. Never soak, boil, bleach or wring silk or leave it crumpled in a towel. We strictly advise against machine washing.

The difference between naturally spun silk and factory-produced synthetic satin extends beyond the simple contrast of feel and comfort. Silk is used by acclaimed cosmetic surgeons and beauty clinics worldwide as the material for facial and hair beauty owing to the fact that it contains a rich amount of nutrients in its fibers. The amino acids present in silk fibres are essential to human hair and body as they help replenish lustre and the lock in natural moisture from your hair and skin. Silk insulation properties keep the temperature around your body optimal providing not only comfort, but the perfect environment for your hair to thrive in. Satin, on the other hand, is man-made. As you may know, synthetic fabrics often cause static. The leads to friction - which is bad news for both skin and hair.
Friction is to blame for all kinds of evils, such as frizzy hair and pillow creases on the face. Polyester satin fails in comparison in this regard, although it's cheaper, but silk is a long-term investment. The most obvious difference between silk and satin that people are most drawn to is the price, as satin is cheaper than silk. Both mulberry silk and satin are known for their smooth textures. Because polyester satin is made from plastic, it can feel more coarse and brittle. A single thread of silk is approximately 1/10 th of the width of a human hair strand, which means these tightly woven silk threads make the fabric light and soft to the touch.
During the day:
STEP 1
Start with slightly damp hair (90% dry) by either allowing it to dry after a shower or lightly dampening it with a spray bottle.
STEP 2
First brush and detangle your hair. Then start brushing all your damp hair in any one direction and start taking them towards the back.
STEP 3
Continue brushing your hair in one direction till the time all your hair is completely wrapped around your head. You can tuck the hair pin at the ends to hold your hair.
STEP 4
Put on your hair wrap now and keep it firmly there until your hair gets fully dry. Drying time will vary based on the length and thickness of your hair.
STEP 5
Take a selfie, tag @esmeluxurysilk and post on your Instagram account to get featured! The process to wrap your hair takes less than 3 minutes.
During the night:
STEP 1
Arrange and hold your hair in place so it's easy to scoop into your hair wrap, releasing locks into the silk as it slides on. We like to twist ours up into a bun at the crown of our head to deliver a subtle wave come morning. But how you put your hair up is totally up to you.
STEP 2
Be sure to tuck all your hair within your wrap so the elasticated silk edge is completely covering your hairline and the tip of your ears. This will ensure it sits tight, protecting and nourishing your locks all through the night.
With continued use of our mulberry silk hair wraps, you will see a marked difference in the texture of your hair and less occurrence of damage. We’ve had clients see results on day 1 and others after a couple of weeks. The time can vary between various hair types. We encourage you to take before and after photos because we have no doubt that you will FEEL the difference.
