I love the material of this scarf! I use it as a wrap to cover my hair at night so it won't get too frizzy and dry (I have curly hair). It's MUCH softer/smoother than the standard silk and satin pillow cases. It's pretty huge, so if you have longer hair (I have shoulder length hair when it's curly; armpit length hair when it's straightened), this will definitely have all your hair covered! I love it so much I bought another more for my mom and friend, and they love it too!
