About Strands of Silk

Here at Strands of Silk, we celebrate all women (and men) and love the lustre, beauty and diversity of our natural hair. We both grew up in tropical north Queensland with naturally curly hair. Something about the rainforest humidity meant that we struggled with frizz and bed hair through our teenage years. Unfortunately this meant we spent a lot of that time hating our hair. We turned to a daily dose of heat, and unfortunately damaged it in the process. After we did some digging, we discovered the benefits of hair wrapping and silk. After trying silk sleeping caps and pillowcases, we were amazed by the results on our natural curls and skin, and we wanted to help others be able to embrace and love their natural hair. We also discovered that hair wrapping has a rich history dating back centuries in many cultures, and likewise, that silk fabric has been used in many cultures for centuries. We acknowledge that these many cultures have recognised the significance of both silk and hair wrapping, and wish to share and celebrate the benefits.Read their story
