Luna

Will hair products damage my Luna?
We wouldn’t recommend adding any wet styling products to your hair immediately before wearing your Luna such as creams, oils, or deep conditioning products as they can compromise the fabric.
Can men wear Luna?
Absolutely. If you have hair on your head, you can use our product. 
Can I wear my Luna with my hair wet?
Your hair should be at least 80% dry before using your Luna.
Is Luna safe for chemotherapy patients?
Yes, absolutely. Your Luna will help to protect the regrowth of your hair against the friction from cotton after undergoing treatment.
How often should I replace my Luna?
How long your Luna will last vary depending on how often you wear it and how you take care of it. We would recommend replacing your Luna every 9 months to see the best results continuously.
Can I wash my Luna?
You can hand wash your Luna hair wrap in cold water using a PH neutral detergent. Click here for more details.
Does Luna work for hair extensions?
Luna is the perfect solution for prolonging the life of your hair extensions.
Do I need to tie my hair up before putting on my Luna?
You may find that if you have very long hair you may prefer to loosely chignon your hair into the wrap. Additionally, if you have very long braids or locs you may find it easier to fit Luna over your hair if you gently secure it either with a braid/loc or a very loose band.
What is my Luna made from?
Luna is made from 100% pure 22m silk. The jersey band is constructed of high-grade 140gm Jersey silk to allow for stretch over your hair.
How soon will I see the results from my Luna?
This all depends on the condition of your hair. It can take a few weeks to see a noticeable difference, but from the first night, you will notice a difference in how long it takes to style your hair the next morning.
How do I wear my Luna?

Payments

What methods of payment do you accept?

Is my payment information secure?
Yes, we take security very seriously.


Your payment card information is collected on a secure HTTPS web page using SSL.
We use credit card processing firms that are fully PCI-DSS compliant, which means they meet all industry standards for cardholder security.

We never store your credit card number or your security code (CVV code).

Pillowcase

What is my pillowcase made from?

Our silk pillowcases are made with 100% mulberry silk.

How soon will I see the results from my pillowcase?

It can take a few weeks to see a noticeable difference, but from the first night, you will notice a difference in how long it takes to style your hair the next morning, and your skin will feel softer and smoother.

How do I wash my pillowcase?

Hand wash cold at no higher than 30 degrees, or on a cold no spin cycle. Use a PH-neutral detergent. Do not bleach, and hang to dry out of direct sunlight.

What is the difference between a silk and satin pillowcase?

Silk and satin are two very different materials. Satin is a weave of a fabric and is commonly used to describe polyester fabrics. To find out more about the differences click here.

What size are your pillowcases?

Our Pillowcases are 50x76cm, designed to fit a standard international/queen size pillow.

Are your pillowcases recyclable?

Silk is recyclable at most textile recycling points. As silk is a biodegradable material, it can also be put on your compost – just remember to remove the zipper first

Why sleep on a silk pillowcase instead of cotton?

Cotton pillowcases can tug and pull on your hair and skin, which causes friction leading to bedhead and can stretch your skin making wrinkles look more prominent. Silk is the perfect choice for sleeping on as an overnight beauty treatment for your hair and skin – click here to find out more.

Can I sleep on my pillowcase with wet hair?

As with our Luna, we would recommend your hair be at least 80% dry before sleeping on your pillowcase.

Can I use my silk hair wrap and a silk pillowcase?

Absolutely! Combining using your silk hair wrap and your silk pillowcase will give optimum results for your hair and skin.
