Can sleeping on a satin pillowcase change your life? Probably not. Can it reduce stress on your hair, help it retain moisture and prevent breakage? YES. Traditional cotton pillowcases are still just that - cotton. Cotton's rough fibers absorbs moisture and can wick precious moisture from vulnerable curly hair. Hair glides effortlessly across smooth satin which has no "catch" factor to to snag delicate hair, preventing tangles, knots and frizz.
I'm a little obsessed with coconut oil right now. I've been using it as a "pre-conditioner" in the salon , I melt anywhere from 2 tablespoons to 1/2 cup of coconut oil (depending on how much i need to really saturate the hair from root to end, then apply it to dry hair. If you do this at home, you can do it hours before you plan to wash it - I sleep with it in my hair and wash it out with Loreal Professional Delicate Color Sulfate Free Shampoo the next morning. If you're a no-poo-er, I suggest using the Ouidad Cleansing Oil instead. You can condition your hair as usual, or, for extra awesomeness, follow with an apple cider vinegar rinse use up to half acv to half water, or try using 2 parts water to 1 part acv. Let that site for at least 2 minutes, RINSE WELL. Be SO careful not to get it in your eyes, it burns like a BITCH . It's not harsh on your hair, though - the acidity of the vinegar is actually very gentle on the cuticle helping to close it...
