Hair Clips / Silk Hair Ties

This is considered the highest quality silk available for hair ties. Produced by silkworms that are fed only mulberry leaves, it is exceptionally smooth, durable, and hypoallergenic. Its refined texture and rich color make it a popular choice for luxury hair accessories.

Known for its lustrous sheen and elegant drape, Charmeuse silk is often used in high-end hair ties. Its smooth surface reduces friction, making it a great choice for maintaining hair health.

While not as smooth as Mulberry or Charmeuse silk, Tussah silk is valued for its robustness. It's produced by wild silkworms and has a slightly coarser texture, which can be beneficial for thicker hair types.

Sometimes referred to as 'China silk', Habotai is a lightweight, glossy silk that is often used in affordable hair ties. Although not as durable as some other types of silk, it's still gentler on hair than traditional elastic hair ties.

Each of these silk types offers its own blend of luxury, durability, and hair protection, making silk hair ties a versatile accessory suitable for different hair types and styles.

Silk hair ties should be washed gently by hand, using cold water and a mild detergent specifically designed for silk. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the silk fibers and affect the hair tie's quality and lifespan. Start by filling a basin with cold water and adding a small amount of silk-friendly detergent. Submerge the tie in the water, gently agitating it to remove any dirt or residue. Rinse thoroughly under cold running water until all the soap is removed.

Proper storage of silk hair ties is crucial to maintain their longevity and quality. After washing and drying, store your silk hair ties in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the silk to fade. Avoid keeping them in damp or humid areas, as this can lead to the growth of mold or mildew on the silk. A jewelry box or a special compartment in your drawer could be a perfect place to store them. If you're traveling, consider using a small silk pouch to carry your hair ties, as this will protect them from damage and dirt. It's also a good idea to untie any knots before storage to prevent the silk from stretching and deforming.

Maintaining the elasticity of your silk hair ties is essential to ensure they continue to hold your hair effectively. Overstretching can lead to a loss of elastic feature and shorten their lifespan. To avoid this, refrain from pulling the ties too tightly when securing your hair. It's also a good idea to rotate between different hair ties to prevent overuse of one. If you notice a silk tie is losing its elastic feature, give it a 'rest' by not using it for a few days. This allows the material time to regain its natural elastic feature. Heat can cause silk to lose its elastic capacity, so avoid exposing your hair ties to high temperatures, such as hot water, hair dryers, or direct sunlight.
