So I went to the BSS today and was excited because I saw they had "satin" pillow cases so I bought one for 4.95 and some other stuff I love BSS:grin:. Well I get home and run to put it on my pillow, look at the package and it says 100% polyester. Im like :perplexed. And I noticed my "satin bonnet" is 100% polyester I think my scarf is silk. But still whats up with the false advertisement and can polyester harm out hair?

satin refers to the finish of the fabric and not the type. satin can be polyester, silk or any other type of fabric and or blend.

I bought a satin bonnet today and was too mad when I saw that on the outside it said "100% satin" but the tag (once you open it!) says "100% polyester." I just looked it up and found that satin can be polyester. I thought it was silk--I guess it used to just refer to silk but now horizons have been broadened.

Oh well I guess it's what I've always been using and it still protects my hair well enough.
