Have you ever wondered about how often you should wash your satin-lined bonnets?
It really depends on how often you wear your silk bonnets, and also the amount of oil/ hair products you use. You should protect your hair with satin or silk every day. If you wear your bonnet nightly, then two weeks should be a good time frame to give it a good wash.
How to wash your Regal Ivy Afrochic Bonnets:
Hand-washing is ALWAYS best, but delicate machine wash is also okay.
To Hand wash:
Fill a medium sized basin or sink halfway with cool water. Add some gentle cleaning detergent, we used baby detergent.
Turn your bonnet inside out and soak in sudsy water for about 5- 10min
Squeeze bonnet continuously in the sudsy water to help release accumulated dirt and hair oil.
Once bonnet is clean, pour out sudsy water and replace with clean cold water.
Soak bonnet for about one minute, then squeeze out excess water.
Lay your bonnet in a clean towel, wrap in towel and roll to soak up excess water.
Hang to dry in natural sunlight.
To Machine wash:
Turn bonnet inside out.
Place bonnet and scarves inside the washer with like colors, then add some gentle cleaning detergent.
Wash in a delicate cycle with cool water.
Dry in little to no heat.
