Every product we list is described by its maker as mulberry silk, and the product page states the silk content.

We do not sell polyester satin.", "source": "general", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/contact/" }, { "question": "What does momme mean?", "answer": "Momme is the weight of silk fabric. One momme is about 4.3 grams per square metre, so a higher number means a denser, heavier cloth. Most silk pillowcases are 19 to 25 momme.", "source": "general", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/contact/" }, { "question": "Is silk the same as satin?", "answer": "No. Silk is a natural fibre. Satin is a weave, and most low-priced satin is woven from polyester.

Many bonnets use a silk outer with a polyester or satin lining, which is cheaper to make.

Most adults find an L-XL comfortable.

Just gather the cap a little and tie the band slightly more snugly so it sits securely. Plenty of people with short hair choose a larger bonnet simply because it is more comfortable to sleep in.", "source": "Blue 22 Momme Double Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/blue-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "What colour is it?", "answer": "It is a solid blue.

A tie lets you choose the tension and it does not slacken over time the way elastic does after repeated washing. Elastic is faster to put on. For a best silk bonnet that holds its fit over months of use, a tie band is the more durable choice.", "source": "Blue 22 Momme Double Layer Mulberry Silk Bonnet", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/blue-22-momme-double-layer-silk-bonnet/" }, { "question": "Will the band leave a mark on my forehead?", "answer": "A wide band spreads pressure across a broader area than a thin elastic, so it is less likely to press a line into your skin.

Standard bonnets are short, so long hair has to be coiled or folded, which creates pressure points and makes the cap slip. At 80 cm (31.5 in) the hair can run down the body of the bonnet instead.", "source": "Dusty Pink 22 Momme Long Silk Bonnet, 80 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/dusty-pink-22-momme-long-silk-bonnet-80cm/" }, { "question": "What does 22 momme mean?", "answer": "Momme is the traditional unit for silk weight, a bit like thread count for cotton but based on mass. A 22 momme silk sits in the middle of the usual range for bedding and sleepwear, with enough body to drape well without feeling heavy. Lighter silks feel more delicate, heavier ones feel denser.", "source": "Dusty Pink 22 Momme Long Silk Bonnet, 80 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/dusty-pink-22-momme-long-silk-bonnet-80cm/" }, { "question": "Is this real silk?", "answer": "Yes, the fabric is stated as 100% mulberry silk.

That means less friction overnight while you move around on the pillow. It is a physical property of the fabric, not a treatment of any kind.", "source": "Dusty Pink 22 Momme Long Silk Bonnet, 80 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/dusty-pink-22-momme-long-silk-bonnet-80cm/" }, { "question": "Will this fit very long hair?", "answer": "The 80 cm body is designed with long hair in mind.

Hair much longer than the cap can be folded once near the ends.", "source": "Dusty Pink 22 Momme Long Silk Bonnet, 80 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/dusty-pink-22-momme-long-silk-bonnet-80cm/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for curly hair?", "answer": "Yes. The long cut is useful for curls and coils because volume can sit inside the cap without being flattened against the crown.

Longer braids and twists can lie down inside the body of the cap.

The envelope closure handles both feather and synthetic fills without trouble, as long as the pillow is around the 65 x 65 cm square size.

A 68 cm square is the most forgiving size to learn on because every standard knot works with it.

Folded into a band it ties round the head or around a ponytail, and opened out it covers the crown and ties under the chin or at the nape. A silk hair scarf slides over hair with less friction than a cotton one.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Will it work as a head scarf for a full head covering?", "answer": "It will cover the crown and the back of the head and tie under the chin, which is the traditional head scarf style. For a wrap that covers the shoulders too you would want a much larger square, around 90 cm or more.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can I tie it on a handbag?", "answer": "Yes. A silk bag scarf is one of the easiest ways to wear this size. Fold it into a thin band on the bias and tie it in a bow or a simple knot around the base of a handle. The light weight means it will not drag the handle out of shape.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Does it work as a neckerchief?", "answer": "That is probably its main job. Folded corner to corner and rolled into a band, it ties close to the throat in a cowboy knot or a simple double knot. A red silk neckerchief under an open collar is a straightforward way to lift a shirt.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Is silk warm enough for winter?", "answer": "Silk is more of a style layer than a thermal one, but a scarf at the throat does cut draughts under a coat collar. For real cold you would want wool over the top. Many people wear a silk square at the neck and a heavier scarf outside it.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can men wear this?", "answer": "Yes. A small square knotted at the throat under an open shirt collar is a long-standing menswear look, and paisley is about as classic as prints get.

Wash it on its own the first time rather than with pale items, and do not leave it sitting in water.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "How should I store it?", "answer": "Loosely folded in a drawer, or rolled and kept in a box or pouch. Avoid hanging it on a sharp hook, which can stretch one corner, and keep it out of direct sunlight because strong light fades dyes over time.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Will perfume damage it?", "answer": "Alcohol-based sprays can mark silk and dull the print, so put perfume and hairspray on first and let them dry before you tie the scarf.

A silk ponytail scarf is one of the quickest ways to use this square on a rushed morning.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Does it crease badly?", "answer": "Light silk creases when it is knotted, which is part of how it looks. Hanging it out overnight settles most of it, and a cool iron on the reverse takes out the rest. It does not hold hard permanent folds the way stiff fabrics do.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable as a gift?", "answer": "It is a sensible gift because there is no size to guess. A printed silk scarf gift suits birthdays, Christmas and thank yous, and the small square folds flat enough to post without a large box.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "What colours does the garnet red go with?", "answer": "It is a versatile red. Navy and garnet is a classic pairing, grey softens it, camel and tan warm it up, and against black it gives you a point of colour without a clash. It is harder to wear with bright orange or purple.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Is paisley still in style?", "answer": "Paisley has been in continuous use in Western fashion for well over two hundred years, which makes it less a trend than a staple. A vintage style silk scarf in paisley tends to look current in any decade rather than dated to one.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it as a belt?", "answer": "Yes, if your waist is slim enough or if you are threading it through belt loops as a decorative tie rather than a full wrap. A 68 cm square rolled on the bias gives you roughly 90 cm of band, so measure before you plan on it.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Will it slip when I knot it?", "answer": "Silk is smooth, so a single knot can work loose on a very light scarf. A double knot or a tuck under a collar holds well. For hair, a knot plus a tuck of the ends under the band keeps it put.", "source": "Garnet Red Paisley Silk Square Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/garnet-red-paisley-silk-square-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "How is it packaged?", "answer": "It arrives as a new item, folded.

The size is standard, the colour is wearable, and a silk square does not need to fit anyone. It also packs flat in a card-sized box.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "How should I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent made for delicates. Do not soak it, bleach it or wring it. Press the water out between a towel and dry it flat.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can I put it in the washing machine?", "answer": "Hand washing is the stated care for this scarf. Machines can create friction and pulling that silk does not like, and a hot cycle risks shrinkage and colour loss. If you have a machine with a true cold delicates cycle, use a mesh bag, but hand washing is safer.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can I tumble dry it?", "answer": "No. Heat is the main thing that damages silk over time. Dry it flat or hang it somewhere airy, away from radiators and direct sun.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Yes, on the lowest silk setting. Iron it on the reverse while slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth. Avoid steaming it directly on the print.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Will the colours fade?", "answer": "Any dyed fabric can fade if it is washed in hot water or left in strong sunlight. Cold washing and drying out of direct sun is the best way to keep the blue and green looking right. Store it folded in a drawer rather than on a sunny shelf.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "How do I get creases out without an iron?", "answer": "Hang it in the bathroom while you shower and let the steam relax the fabric. Then smooth it with your hands and let it dry flat. Most light creases drop out on their own within an hour of wearing.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it in the rain?", "answer": "Silk can be worn in light drizzle but it will mark if it gets properly wet and dries unevenly. If it does get caught out, rinse it in cold water and dry it flat rather than spot-drying one patch. A hood is kinder to it than a downpour.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Is it warm enough for winter?", "answer": "Silk is light rather than insulating, so it is better as a layer than as a main warm scarf. Worn under a coat collar it adds a little protection from wind on the neck. In colder months most people pair it with wool rather than instead of it.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for summer?", "answer": "Very much so. A light silk square is one of the best lightweight summer scarf options because it covers without adding heat. It also protects the back of the neck or a parting from strong sun.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can men wear it?", "answer": "Yes. A square silk scarf knotted at the throat or tucked into an open collar is a long-standing look. The floral is soft rather than ornate, so it works as an accent.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Can I tie it to a handbag?", "answer": "Yes, that is a popular use. Fold it into a narrow band and tie it in a bow or a loose knot around the handle. It is a quick way to change the look of a plain bag.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "Does it come with a gift box?", "answer": "Packaging is not specified. If you are giving it as a present, a simple flat box or tissue wrap works well and takes up almost no space. The scarf itself folds down very small.", "source": "Light Blue Floral Mulberry Silk Head Scarf 68cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/light-blue-floral-silk-head-scarf-68cm/" }, { "question": "What is the hem like?", "answer": "The hem finish is not specified.

That counts as a small square in scarf terms. It is sized for neck knots, hair ties and bag handles rather than for wearing over the shoulders.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "What is it made from?", "answer": "The maker lists it as 100% mulberry silk. Mulberry silk is the standard long filament silk used for scarves and pillowcases. The momme weight is not stated by the maker.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Is the red a bright red or a deep red?", "answer": "It is described simply as plain red with no print. The exact shade name is not stated by the maker, so the product photographs are your best guide. Screens vary, so expect a small difference between the image and the scarf in daylight.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Does it have any pattern or print?", "answer": "No. It is a solid colour across the whole square with no print, border or logo. That is what makes a plain red silk scarf easy to pair with patterned clothing.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "The maker lists dry clean only, so that is the instruction to follow. Home washing silk is possible with some items, but this one is not listed for it. Taking it to a dry cleaner is the safe route.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "If it needs smoothing, use the lowest heat setting and put a clean cloth between the iron and the silk. Do not use steam directly on the fabric. Most of the time hanging it in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes is enough to drop the creases.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "How should I store it?", "answer": "Roll it loosely or fold it with soft folds and keep it in a drawer. Avoid hanging it on a sharp hook or a narrow peg, as that can mark the fabric over time. The resealable pack it arrives in works well for storage.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Is 55 cm big enough to tie at the neck?", "answer": "Yes, that is exactly what this size is for. Folded on the diagonal it gives you enough length for a simple knot or a small bow at the throat. It will not wrap twice around the neck like a long scarf would.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Will it work as a hair scarf?", "answer": "It does. A small silk neck scarf of this size ties well around a ponytail, a bun or a plait, and silk is smooth enough that hair slides over it rather than catching. For a full head wrap you would want a larger square.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Can I tie it on a handbag?", "answer": "Yes. A 55 cm square knots neatly around a bag handle or through the hardware without a long tail hanging down. It is one of the most common uses for a small square silk handbag scarf.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Does it work as a pocket square?", "answer": "It can be folded and tucked into a jacket pocket, though it is larger than a dedicated pocket square so you will have more fabric to fold. A simple puff fold handles the extra volume well.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "What colours does it go with?", "answer": "Red sits comfortably against navy, black, charcoal, denim, cream and camel. It also lifts an all grey outfit. Because there is no print, you can wear it with a patterned shirt without clashing.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Is this a men's or a women's scarf?", "answer": "It is unisex. A plain square neckerchief at this size is worn by anyone who wants a small point of colour at the collar. Men often knot it loosely inside an open shirt collar.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "How thick or heavy is the silk?", "answer": "The maker does not state the momme weight, which is the usual measure of silk thickness. Scarves in this size and type are typically light and fluid rather than stiff.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "What are the edges like?", "answer": "The maker does not state whether the edges are hand rolled or machine finished. If edge finish is a deciding factor for you, that detail is not listed here.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Will it keep my neck warm?", "answer": "Silk is not an insulating fabric in the way wool is, and this is a light small square. It will take the edge off a draught at the collar but it is a style piece rather than a winter warmer.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it in summer?", "answer": "Yes. Silk feels cool to the touch at first contact, and a small square sits lightly at the neck without bulk. Many people find it one of the easier accessories to wear in warm weather.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Does the colour run?", "answer": "Dye behaviour is not stated by the maker. Since the care instruction is dry clean only, the question does not come up in normal use. Keep it away from wet or newly dyed fabrics as a general precaution.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "What if I get perfume on it?", "answer": "Let perfume and hairspray dry fully on your skin before you put the scarf on. If something does land on the silk, take it to a dry cleaner rather than dabbing at it with water, which can leave a ring.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable as a gift?", "answer": "It is a good gift because there is no sizing to get wrong and the colour is a single clean red rather than a print someone might not like. It arrives in a resealable pack, so it is tidy enough to hand over as it is.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Does it come gift wrapped?", "answer": "The brief lists a resealable pack only, so there is no gift box included. Adding your own ribbon or a flat gift box works well for a small square like this.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "How many ways can I tie it?", "answer": "Plenty. A simple neck knot, a small bow, a loose cowboy drape, a ponytail tie and a bag handle wrap cover most daily uses. The guide below walks through the easiest ones.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Will it slip undone during the day?", "answer": "Silk is smooth, so a single knot can loosen. A double knot or tucking the ends under the fold holds better. Many people pin a small square with a slim brooch if they want it to stay put all day.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it under a shirt collar?", "answer": "Yes, that is a classic way to wear a mulberry silk neckerchief. Fold it on the diagonal, roll it fairly narrow, knot it and let the collar sit over the top. The small size keeps it flat.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "Does it crease badly?", "answer": "Silk takes soft creases from folding, which usually drop out when the scarf is hung for a while or exposed to a little steam from a distance. Hard pressed creases are harder to remove, so avoid storing it folded sharply for long periods.", "source": "Red Plain Silk Square Scarf 55 cm", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/red-plain-silk-square-scarf-55cm/" }, { "question": "What is the country of origin?", "answer": "The country of origin is not specified.

They arrive in two widths, full scrunchies and skinny ties, as shown in the photographs. The set is supplied boxed.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Why are two different widths included?", "answer": "Different hairstyles want different bands. A full scrunchie spreads the hold across a wider area and suits thick ponytails and loose buns, while a skinny tie holds a neat topknot or a plait end without adding bulk. Having both means you are not forcing one shape to do every job.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Is the silk real mulberry silk?", "answer": "Yes, the ties are made with 100% mulberry silk fabric over an elastic core. The elastic itself is inside the silk, not exposed. The momme weight of the silk is not stated by the maker.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "What colour are they?", "answer": "All four are black. That makes them easy to wear with any hair colour and any outfit, from gym kit to evening wear.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Will the silk hold my hair firmly?", "answer": "The grip comes from the elastic core, so yes, they hold. Silk is a smooth fibre, so a very heavy ponytail may want a double wrap with a skinny tie rather than a single loose turn. Most people find the full scrunchies hold well in one or two turns.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Are these good for thick hair?", "answer": "The full scrunchies in the pack are the ones to reach for with thick hair, since the gathered silk spreads pressure across a wider band. Some people with very thick hair double up a skinny tie underneath for extra security. Among the best scrunchies for thick hair, a wider silk band usually feels kinder than a thin rubber one.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Do they work for fine hair?", "answer": "Yes. The skinny ties are often the better pick for fine hair because they can be wrapped two or three times without looking bulky. The full scrunchies give a soft, loose look that suits fine hair worn down in a half-up.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I sleep in them?", "answer": "Many people do use a soft tie for a loose overnight plait or a low bun. A full scrunchie worn loosely tends to be the most comfortable option on a pillow. We make no claim beyond that, only that the silk surface is smooth to the touch.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Will they leave a dent in my ponytail?", "answer": "A wider, softer band spreads pressure over more hair, so the crease tends to be less sharp than with a thin rubber band. How much mark is left still depends on how tight you pull it and how long it stays in. Looser is kinder.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "How do I wash them?", "answer": "Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent made for delicates. Swirl rather than scrub, rinse well, then press the water out between a towel. Dry flat, away from radiators and direct sun.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I put them in the washing machine?", "answer": "We recommend hand washing. If you must machine wash, use a mesh laundry bag on a cold delicates cycle with no spin, and accept that the silk may lose some of its smoothness faster. Hand washing is the safer route.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can they be tumble dried?", "answer": "No. Heat is hard on both silk and elastic. Press them in a towel and lay them flat to air dry instead.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I iron them?", "answer": "If a tie looks crumpled, use the lowest iron setting on the reverse of the silk, with a cloth between the iron and the fabric. Keep the iron moving and avoid pressing directly on the elastic. Most of the time a gentle reshape while damp is enough.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Will the black colour run?", "answer": "Wash them on their own the first time or two, in cool water, and do not leave them soaking. That is standard practice with any dark dyed silk. Drying them away from bright sunlight also helps keep the colour even.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "How long will a silk scrunchie last?", "answer": "With gentle hand washing and no over-stretching, the silk holds up well. The elastic core is usually the first part to relax, as it is with any hair tie. Rotating four ties rather than wearing the same one every day spreads the wear.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "What size are the ties?", "answer": "Individual dimensions are not specified. They are supplied in two widths as pictured, full scrunchies and slimmer skinny ties, both sized for ordinary adult hair.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Who are these suitable for?", "answer": "Anyone with hair long enough to tie back, from teenagers to adults. They are a common pick for people who want the best silk hair accessories without a drawer full of mismatched bands. The plain black finish also makes them easy for men with longer hair to wear.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Are they suitable for children?", "answer": "They are ordinary hair ties and work on children's hair, though the full scrunchies may be large on very fine or short hair. Keep small hair accessories away from babies and toddlers as you would with any item of this kind.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I wear them on my wrist?", "answer": "Yes, and that is one of the reasons people like a wider silk band. A soft scrunchie sits on the wrist without digging in the way a thin elastic can. It also looks tidier with a watch.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Do they work for the gym?", "answer": "They do. Black hides the look of sweat better than pale shades, and a full scrunchie keeps a ponytail secure during most workouts. Rinse them in cool water after heavy sweating and dry them flat.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Are these a good gift?", "answer": "Yes, and that is a big part of the appeal. The set arrives boxed, so it can be handed over as it comes. It suits birthdays, stocking fillers, bridesmaid thank-yous and travel kits.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I buy more than one set?", "answer": "You can order as many as you like while stock lasts. People often buy one set to keep and one to give. Buying a second set also means you always have a spare when a tie goes missing.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "What is mulberry silk?", "answer": "Mulberry silk is silk made from the cocoons of silkworms reared on mulberry leaves. The fibres are long and even, which is why the finished fabric feels smooth and has a soft sheen. It is the type most often used in silk bedding and silk hair accessories.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "How is silk different from a cotton or towelling band?", "answer": "Cotton and towelling have a textured surface with tiny fibres that catch on hair. Silk is smoother, so strands slide across it with less friction. That is a property of the fibre, not a claim about what it will do to your hair.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Will the elastic show?", "answer": "No. The elastic sits inside the silk casing, so what touches your hair is fabric. Over time a well-worn tie may soften, but the elastic stays enclosed.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Can I use them to tie a plait?", "answer": "The skinny ties are ideal for this. They hold the end of a plait without the bulky knot a wide scrunchie creates. Two of them also work nicely at the top and bottom of a long braid.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "Do they suit short hair?", "answer": "If your hair is long enough for a small ponytail, half-up or clipped-back section, yes. The skinny ties handle short styles better than the full scrunchies, which need more hair to sit against.

Small items like this usually move quickly.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "What are the return terms?", "answer": "Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back. Keep the box and the ties unused and unwashed if you think you may send them back. Contact us first and we will walk you through it.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "What if they are not right for me?", "answer": "Get in touch and tell us what did not work, whether that is the width, the hold or simply that they were not what you pictured. We will sort out a return or exchange within the policy that applies where you are. Nobody should keep a hair tie they will not wear.", "source": "Black Mulberry Silk Hair Ties 4 Pack", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-mulberry-silk-hair-ties-4-pack/" }, { "question": "What exactly comes in the box?", "answer": "Three brown silk scrunchies in mixed sizes, packed in a cardboard box. There is nothing else in the pack, no extra pouch or clips. The box is sturdy enough that the set can be given as a present without extra wrapping.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "What are they made of?", "answer": "The maker lists the outer fabric as 100% silk with an elastic core inside. The silk is the part that touches your hair, and the elastic sits hidden in the fabric tube. That construction is standard for a quality scrunchie.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "How far do they stretch?", "answer": "The set stretches from 9 cm up to 22 cm across. That is the range across the three pieces, not one scrunchie, so the smaller ones suit light ponytails and the larger ones handle thicker hair. Check the photographs to see the relative sizes.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Are all three the same size?", "answer": "No, they come in mixed sizes as pictured. That is deliberate, so one set covers several hairstyles rather than repeating the same hold three times. The maker does not publish an exact diameter for each individual piece.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Will these work on thick hair?", "answer": "The larger pieces in the set open to 22 cm, which is generous and suits a thick ponytail or a full bun. People searching for the best silk scrunchies for thick hair usually want that wider opening so they do not have to double wrap. The smaller ones in the set will suit second-day styles or plaits.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Will they work on fine hair?", "answer": "Yes. The smaller scrunchies in the set close down to around 9 cm, which gives enough grip on a fine ponytail without needing several twists. If you want the best scrunchies for fine hair, a smaller silk one is usually more comfortable than a thick fabric band.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "What shade of brown are they?", "answer": "They are brown, as shown in the photographs. Screen colour varies between devices, so treat the images as a close guide rather than an exact match. The maker does not state a specific shade name or code.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Do they leave a crease in your hair?", "answer": "A silk scrunchie spreads pressure over a wider area than a thin elastic band, so it tends to leave less of a sharp line. How much mark you get still depends on how tightly you wrap and how long you wear it. A looser wrap helps.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Can I wear one to sleep in?", "answer": "Plenty of people do, usually in a loose top knot or a soft plait. Silk is smooth, so hair slides against it rather than catching. If you are after the best overnight hair ties, keep the wrap loose so nothing presses on your scalp.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "How do I wash them?", "answer": "Hand wash in cool water with a little mild detergent. Press out the water gently instead of wringing, reshape the fabric and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. A mesh bag on a cold delicate machine cycle also works if you prefer.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Can they go in the tumble dryer?", "answer": "No. Heat is hard on both silk and elastic, and a dryer will shorten the life of the set. Air drying flat takes a few hours and keeps the shape of the fabric tube.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Will the silk fray?", "answer": "Silk is a fine fibre, so like any delicate fabric it can snag on rough nails, jewellery or velcro. Handling them gently and washing by hand is the main thing. Keep them away from hot styling tools.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "How long will a set like this last?", "answer": "That depends on how often you wear and wash them. The elastic core is usually what tires first, as happens with any hair tie. Rotating between the three in the set gives each one a rest and spreads the wear.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Are these better than cotton scrunchies?", "answer": "Silk has a smoother surface than cotton, so hair tends to slide rather than catch. Cotton has more grip and a more casual look. If you want the best silk hair ties for everyday wear, the smoother finish is the point of difference.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Can I wear them on my wrist?", "answer": "Yes, and the smooth fabric sits comfortably against skin. A looser wrap on the wrist also avoids leaving a mark. The larger sizes in the set are the more comfortable wrist option.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Do they hold a bun securely?", "answer": "The larger pieces do, especially if you wrap twice around a twisted bun. Silk is slippery by nature, so a very fine, very straight head of hair may want an extra twist. A hairpin or two helps for an all-day hold.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Are they suitable for the gym?", "answer": "They work fine for lighter sessions and everyday wear. For heavy sweating, rinse them in cool water afterwards and dry flat, as you would with any silk item. Many people keep a cotton tie for workouts and save the best silk scrunchies for the rest of the day.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Do they suit children?", "answer": "The smaller scrunchies in the set will fit a child's ponytail. As with any hair accessory, keep an eye on younger children who might pull at it. Hand wash care applies the same way.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "What hair colours does brown suit?", "answer": "Brown is a neutral, so it sits quietly against dark, chestnut, auburn and most mid-tone hair. On blonde or grey hair it reads as a deliberate contrast rather than a clash. It is one of the easier colours to wear daily.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Is this a good gift?", "answer": "Yes, it arrives in a cardboard box, which makes it easy to hand over as it is. A boxed set of three is a useful size for a birthday extra, a stocking filler or a thank you. Many shoppers look for the best boxed scrinchie set for exactly that reason.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Is the box suitable for posting on as a gift?", "answer": "The set arrives in a cardboard box that protects the scrunchies in transit. If you are posting it on, pop it inside a padded envelope or outer box so the printing stays clean. The box itself is presentation packaging rather than a shipping carton.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Can I buy the sizes separately?", "answer": "This product is sold as a set of three. The mixed sizing is part of the design, so the pieces are not split out individually here. Check the rest of the silk scrunchies category for other sets and options.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "What is the momme weight of the silk?", "answer": "The maker does not state the momme weight, so we have not listed one. The details confirmed are 100% silk outer fabric, an elastic core, brown colour, three pieces and a 9 cm to 22 cm stretch range. We only publish specifications we can confirm.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Where are they made?", "answer": "The country of manufacture is not specified. If that detail matters for your purchase, get in touch before ordering and we will tell you what we know rather than guess.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "How much does the set weigh?", "answer": "The weight is not specified. Scrunchies are light by nature, so the parcel will be a small one. We list weight only where the maker publishes it.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Can I iron them?", "answer": "Ironing is not recommended, as heat can affect both the silk and the elastic inside. If a scrunchie looks flat after washing, reshape the fabric tube with your fingers while it is damp. It will puff back up as it dries.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "Will the colour run in the wash?", "answer": "Wash them separately the first time or two in cool water, as you would with any dyed silk item. Avoid soaking and avoid bleach. Cool water and a short wash are the safest approach.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "How should I store them?", "answer": "Keep them in a drawer or in the box they came in, away from anything rough or sharp. Avoid leaving them stretched over a bottle or a brush handle, as that tires the elastic. Flat and loose is best.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "How long does delivery take?", "answer": "Orders are sent tracked from European warehouses and usually arrive in 5 to 8 working days. Small accessories like this ship in a light package. If you need it for a specific date, order with a few days to spare.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "What if they are not right for me?", "answer": "Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back. Keep the scrunchies unworn and in the box where possible, as that makes the process quicker. We would rather sort it out than leave you with something you will not wear.", "source": "Brown Silk Scrunchies, Set of 3", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/brown-silk-scrunchies-set-of-3/" }, { "question": "What exactly comes in the pack?", "answer": "Two large scrunchies, one dark grey and one pink. Both are the same size and both are made from the same 100% mulberry silk fabric at 22 momme.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "What does 22 momme mean?", "answer": "Momme is the traditional way of measuring silk weight, a bit like thread count for cotton. A 22 momme silk is a mid to heavy weight, dense enough to feel solid in the hand and to hold its shape when gathered. Lighter silks around 16 momme feel thinner and more fluid.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Is this real silk or a silk blend?", "answer": "The fabric is 100% mulberry silk. There is an elastic core inside the silk cover, which is what gives the scrunchie its stretch, but the part that touches your hair is silk.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Why do people choose silk hair bobbles over ordinary elastics?", "answer": "Silk has a smooth surface, so hair tends to slide across it instead of catching. Bare elastics and rough fabric covers grab strands, which makes them harder to remove. The best silk hair ties come out of a ponytail with very little tugging.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "How large is large?", "answer": "These are described as large scrunchies, meaning a generous gather of fabric rather than a slim band. The maker does not publish exact relaxed and stretched measurements, so if you need a precise diameter it is worth treating it as a full-size scrunchie rather than a mini one.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Will these hold thick hair?", "answer": "A large scrunchie is the right shape for thick hair because the elastic does not have to stretch to its limit to go around the ponytail. If your hair is very thick you may still prefer two turns rather than three. These rank well among the best silk scrunchies for thick hair for that reason.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Are they good for fine hair too?", "answer": "Yes. With fine hair you simply take an extra turn. The wide silk band spreads the hold so you do not get a sharp crease where the elastic sat.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Can I sleep in them?", "answer": "Many people tie their hair loosely at the crown or in a low braid overnight with a soft silk scrunchie. Keep the tension gentle. These are often picked as the best silk scrunchies for sleeping because the silk surface is smooth and the large gather is soft against the pillow.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Do they leave a dent in the hair?", "answer": "A wide, loosely wrapped scrunchie leaves less of a mark than a thin elastic pulled tight, simply because the pressure is spread out. Any hair tie worn very tightly for hours will leave some impression.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "What colour is the grey one?", "answer": "It is a dark grey. It reads as a deep neutral rather than a pale silver, so it sits well with black, navy, denim and most work clothes.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "What shade is the pink?", "answer": "A soft pink rather than a bright or neon tone. It pairs easily with cream, grey and pastel colours.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Will the colours fade?", "answer": "Silk holds dye well when it is washed gently. Keep it out of strong sunlight for long periods, skip bleach and hot water, and the colour should stay true. Drying flat in the shade is better than hanging in a window.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "How do I wash them?", "answer": "Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent made for delicates.

If you must machine wash, use a mesh laundry bag on a cold delicates cycle with no spin, and accept that the silk may lose some of its sheen over time.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Can I tumble dry them?", "answer": "No. Heat is hard on both silk and elastic.

Washing keeps the silk looking fresh and stops product building up in the fibres.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Will the elastic wear out?", "answer": "Every elastic relaxes eventually. You get the longest life by avoiding hot water, hot dryers and over-stretching. Taking an extra turn rather than forcing one tight turn also helps.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Can I iron them?", "answer": "Only if you need to, and only on the lowest setting with the iron on the silk itself, never on the elastic. A quick press with a cloth between iron and fabric is safest. Most of the time reshaping while damp is enough.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Are they suitable for the gym or swimming?", "answer": "They are fine for light exercise.

A soft silk band on the wrist is far more comfortable than a tight elastic, and the grey one in particular passes as a simple accessory.", "source": "Large 22 Momme Silk Scrunchies 2 Pack (Grey and Pink)", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/large-22-momme-silk-scrunchies-2-pack-grey-and-pink/" }, { "question": "Are they suitable for children?", "answer": "They work for older children with enough hair to need a full-size tie.

Silk is smooth, so strands slide across it with less friction. The hold comes from the elastic core rather than from the surface gripping your hair.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack in Beige, Brown, Taupe and Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-black-and-brown/" }, { "question": "Are these better than cotton scrunchies?", "answer": "They feel different rather than simply better. Cotton has more surface grip, which some people like for a very firm hold, while silk slides more easily and is kinder when you take the tie out. If you are looking for the best silk hair ties for fine hair, the lower friction surface is the main reason people choose silk.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack in Beige, Brown, Taupe and Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-black-and-brown/" }, { "question": "Why skinny rather than a wide scrunchie?", "answer": "A skinny band sits closer to the hair and gives a tidier look, which suits sleek ponytails, low buns and plait ends. Wide scrunchies make a visible fabric ruffle, which is a style choice rather than a hold difference. Skinny also fits better under hats, helmets and headset bands.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack in Beige, Brown, Taupe and Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-black-and-brown/" }, { "question": "Will they hold thick hair?", "answer": "Yes, though you may use fewer wraps than you would with a thin ponytail. Thick hair usually needs one or two turns, while fine hair often needs three.

Because silk is smooth, a very slippery ponytail can loosen over a long day, so a third turn helps.

A loose pineapple on top of the head with one wrap is a common way to use them with curls.

Keep it loose rather than stretched, because leaving any elastic tie stretched for long periods shortens its life.

Over-stretching to force an extra wrap puts strain on the elastic and will wear it out sooner. The right number depends on hair thickness and how high you tie it.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack in Beige, Brown, Taupe and Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-black-and-brown/" }, { "question": "Will they leave a dent in my hair?", "answer": "Any tie holding hair in one place for hours can leave a mark. A looser wrap and a lower tie position reduce it. Silk's smooth surface means the hair sits against a softer edge than it does with a plain elastic.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack in Beige, Brown, Taupe and Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-black-and-brown/" }, { "question": "How do I wash them?", "answer": "Hand wash in cool water with a small amount of mild detergent made for delicates.

Oils and product build up on the silk over time and dull the surface.

If a band looks creased after washing, smooth it with your fingers while damp and let it dry flat. The crease usually relaxes once it is worn.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack in Beige, Brown, Taupe and Black", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-black-and-brown/" }, { "question": "How long will they last?", "answer": "That depends on how often you wear and wash them, how far you stretch the band and whether they get snagged.

A skinny silk band is less bulky against a pillow than a thick one. Keep the tension light so it is comfortable.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it on my wrist?", "answer": "Yes, and the slim shape makes that easy. It looks like a soft bracelet rather than an obvious hair tie. Just avoid stretching it hard over a watch strap repeatedly.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for the gym?", "answer": "It works fine for everyday training. After a sweaty session, rinse it in cool water and dry it flat rather than leaving it damp in a bag. That keeps the silk looking better for longer.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent made for delicates. Swirl gently, rinse, then press out the water in a towel. Do not wring or twist the band.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "Can I put it in the washing machine?", "answer": "We recommend hand washing. If you do machine wash, use a cold delicates cycle inside a mesh laundry bag, and accept that silk will wear faster than with hand washing. Never use bleach or fabric softener.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "Can I tumble dry it?", "answer": "No. Heat is hard on both silk and elastic. Dry it flat, away from radiators and out of direct sunlight.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Only if you need to, and only on the lowest setting with a cloth between the iron and the silk. Most people find a scrunchie recovers its shape on its own after drying. Avoid steaming it directly at close range.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "How long will they last?", "answer": "That depends on how often you use them and how you wash them. Elastic cores relax over time in any scrunchie. Rotating between the four in the set and hand washing in cool water helps each one last longer.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "Why does a pack of four make sense?", "answer": "Because scrunchies get lost. Having four identical bands means one in your bag, one by the mirror, one in the gym kit and one spare, all matching. It is one of the simplest reasons the best silk scrunchie set is usually sold in multiples.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "Is this a good gift?", "answer": "It is a popular small gift. The travel pouch means you can hand it over without extra wrapping, and champagne is a neutral that suits most people. It works well as a birthday extra, a bridesmaid thank you or a stocking filler.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "Are these suitable for a wedding party?", "answer": "The matched set and the soft neutral tone are the reasons champagne turns up so often in bridal kits. Four pieces covers a small bridal party or one person with a spare. Order early if you need several packs so the tones match across the group.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "Will the colour run when I wash it?", "answer": "Wash the set on its own in cool water the first time, as you would with any dyed silk item. Do not soak it for long periods. Keep it away from bleach entirely.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "What is the travel pouch for?", "answer": "It keeps the set together and off the bottom of a handbag, where zips, keys and clips can snag fabric. It also makes the set easier to give as a gift. The pouch is included with the pack.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "Can children use these?", "answer": "They are ordinary hair ties, so older children can use them. As with any small stretchy item, keep them away from very young children who might put them in their mouths. Supervise the first few uses.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "Will it leave a crease in my hair?", "answer": "Fabric bands generally press less of a hard line than a thin rubber band. A skinny silk band still applies tension, so a light wrap leaves less of a mark than a tight one. Results vary with hair type.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "How should I store them?", "answer": "In the included pouch, or in a drawer away from sharp objects.

If they are still not what you wanted, contact us with your order number and we will talk you through a return or swap. We would rather you ended up with the right hair tie than keep one you do not use.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies, 4 Pack, Champagne", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-champagne/" }, { "question": "What exactly comes in this set?", "answer": "You get four skinny mulberry silk scrunchies in the praline colourway plus a matching storage pouch. The four shades are warm neutrals chosen to complement each other. Nothing else is included.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "What does \"skinny\" mean here?", "answer": "It refers to the width of the gathered silk band. A skinny scrunchie has less fabric around the elastic than an oversized one, so it sits closer to the hair and looks neater in a ponytail. The exact band width is not specified.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "What is mulberry silk?", "answer": "Mulberry silk is the silk produced by silkworms fed only on mulberry leaves, which gives long, even fibres and a smooth finish. It is the grade most commonly used for silk bedding and hair accessories. The momme weight of the silk used here is not specified.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Why use a silk scrunchie instead of a normal elastic?", "answer": "The surface of silk is smooth, so hair slides over it with less friction than a rubber band or a rough woven elastic. That means less tugging when you take it out and a softer dent rather than a sharp crease. It is one of the simplest swaps you can make if you tie your hair up every day.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Are these good for fine hair?", "answer": "Yes, fine hair is where skinny scrunchies tend to work best. A slim band gives enough hold for a ponytail without the bulk overwhelming the amount of hair you have. Many people looking for the best silk hair ties for fine hair prefer a skinny cut for this reason.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Will they hold thick hair?", "answer": "They will hold a ponytail or bun in thick hair, though you may want two wraps rather than three. If you have very heavy hair and need a strong grip, an oversized scrunchie or a double wrap of a skinny one gives more security. Some shoppers buy both sizes for different styles.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Do they work on curly hair?", "answer": "Curly and coily hair often does well with a smooth band because there is less snagging at the curl pattern when you remove it. A loose pineapple bun at night with the best silk scrunchies for curly hair is a common routine. Keep the tie loose rather than tight to avoid flattening the curls at the root.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Can I sleep in them?", "answer": "Yes, plenty of people use silk scrunchies specifically for sleeping. Tie hair in a loose bun or plait so it stays off your face. The slim profile is more comfortable than a bulky band if you tend to sleep on your back.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Will these leave a crease in my hair?", "answer": "A gathered silk band spreads the pressure over a wider area than a thin elastic, so the mark it leaves is usually softer and drops out faster. Tying loosely helps more than anything else. If you want no mark at all, a loose bun rather than a tight ponytail is the way to go.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "What colours are in the praline set?", "answer": "The four scrunchies are warm neutral tones in the praline family, chosen to coordinate with each other. The maker does not publish individual shade names for each piece. Please see the product images for the tones as photographed.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Are they suitable for the gym?", "answer": "Yes. Neutral colours and a slim band make them easy to wear with workout kit, and they hold a ponytail or bun through most training. Rinse and dry them if they get very sweaty, the same as you would any fabric accessory.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Do they fit on a wrist comfortably?", "answer": "A skinny silk scrunchie sits flat on the wrist without the bulk of an oversized style, which is one reason people like them for everyday wear. It should not mark your skin the way a tight elastic can. If it feels tight on your wrist, wear it loosely rather than stretched.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "How do I wash them?", "answer": "Hand wash in cool water with a small amount of mild detergent, swirling gently rather than rubbing. Rinse, press the water out in a towel and dry flat away from radiators and direct sun. Do not wring or twist the silk.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Can they go in the washing machine?", "answer": "Hand washing is the recommended method for this set. A machine cycle risks stretching the elastic core and roughening the silk, even in a mesh bag. A couple of minutes in the sink is quicker than you would expect.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash them?", "answer": "It depends on how you use them. If you wear one daily with styling products or at the gym, a wash every week or two keeps it fresh. A scrunchie kept only for sleeping will go much longer between washes.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Will the colour run?", "answer": "Wash each scrunchie separately in cool water the first few times, especially the darker tones, and do not soak them. Cool water and a short wash are the safest approach with any dyed silk. Dry them flat rather than in direct sun to help the colour stay even.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Can I use heat styling with them in?", "answer": "Keep hot tools away from the silk. Silk is a protein fibre and direct heat from straighteners or a curling wand can damage it. Tie hair up after styling rather than styling around the scrunchie.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "What is the pouch for?", "answer": "It keeps the four scrunchies together so they do not disappear into a bag lining or catch on keys and zips. It is handy for travel and for storing them in a drawer. It matches the set, which makes the whole thing easy to give as a gift.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Are these a good gift?", "answer": "They work well as a small gift because the pouch presents them neatly and neutral shades suit most people. Many shoppers hunting for the best gift set for hair accessories choose a silk scrunchie set for birthdays, Christmas or bridesmaid thank-yous. No wrapping is included.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Will they stretch out over time?", "answer": "Any elastic relaxes with use, and how fast depends on how hard you stretch it and how often. Avoid pulling them over very thick ponytails in one wrap, and let them rest between wears by rotating through all four. Hand washing rather than machine washing also helps the elastic last.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "How many should I use at once?", "answer": "One is enough for most ponytails and buns. For a very thick ponytail you can double up, and for plaits you will want one at each end. Having four in the set makes that easy.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Are they suitable for children?", "answer": "They suit older children and teenagers who tie their hair up, and the slim band is comfortable for smaller heads of hair. They are not a toy and small children should not play with them unsupervised. Supervise any use around very young children.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "Can men use them?", "answer": "Yes. Anyone with hair long enough to tie back can use a skinny silk scrunchie, and the neutral praline shades are discreet. A low ponytail or a small bun both work.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "How do these compare to the oversized version?", "answer": "The skinny set is a slimmed-down take on a larger scrunchie. Oversized styles make more of a statement and give more grip on heavy hair, while skinny ones look tidier and sit flatter. If you want the best skinny scrunchies for everyday wear rather than a feature accessory, the slim cut is the one.", "source": "Skinny Mulberry Silk Scrunchies 4 Pack, Praline", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/skinny-mulberry-silk-scrunchies-4-pack-praline/" }, { "question": "What size are they?", "answer": "Individual scrunchie dimensions are not specified.

Mulberry silk is the long-fibre silk used for most quality silk bedding, and momme is the traditional unit for silk weight. There is no cotton or polyester blend stated in the fabric.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What does 19 momme actually mean?", "answer": "Momme measures how much a set area of silk weighs, so a higher number means a denser fabric. Silk for masks and pillowcases usually runs somewhere between about 16 and 25 momme. At 19 the fabric has real body without feeling stiff, which is why a 19 momme silk eye mask is a common pick for sleep use.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How dark does it actually get?", "answer": "The mask uses a solid black 19 momme silk and a shaped nose section designed to reduce light getting in from below. That nose gap is where most masks leak, so closing it makes a noticeable difference. No mask is a sealed blackout box, but a well-fitted one gets close.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is this a contoured or a flat mask?", "answer": "It is a flat cut that rests over the eyes rather than a moulded cup with eye cavities. Some people strongly prefer flat because there is no frame pressing anywhere on the face. If you are after a best large silk eye mask style with nothing rigid in it, this is that shape.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will it press on my eyelashes?", "answer": "The flat panel sits over the eyes rather than clamping down, and you control the tension through the strap. Set the strap just snug enough to stop the mask shifting and the fabric should rest lightly. Overtightening is what causes pressure on lashes with any mask.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How does the strap fasten?", "answer": "It uses a hook and loop closure, the kind you press together to fix and peel apart to release. The strap is extra wide, which spreads the hold across the back of the head. Once you find your setting you can leave it there and just slide the mask on.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is the strap adjustable?", "answer": "Yes. Hook and loop lets you set the circumference anywhere within the strap's range rather than being stuck with one fixed elastic length. That is the main reason an adjustable silk sleep mask tends to suit a wider range of head sizes than a sewn band.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will the hook and loop catch on my hair?", "answer": "Any hook and loop fastening can snag loose hair if you press it down onto strands. Lift the strap clear of your hair before closing it, and press the two faces together rather than against your head. Fastening it before putting the mask on is the easiest habit.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What size is the mask?", "answer": "It is described as a large mask with a flat, generous panel, but the exact finished measurements are not stated. If precise dimensions matter to you, ask before ordering. The wide adjustable strap does most of the work in getting a fit.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it suit a small face?", "answer": "Because it is cut large, it gives plenty of coverage, and the adjustable strap can be tightened in. Someone with a very small face may find the panel sits a little high on the cheekbones. That is usually comfortable rather than a problem.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can side sleepers use it?", "answer": "Yes, and a flat mask is generally the easier choice for side sleeping. There is no moulded shell to press into the pillow and push back against your face. People searching for the best silk eye mask for side sleepers usually end up on a flat cut with a soft strap for exactly this reason.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it any good for back sleepers?", "answer": "It works well on your back, where almost any mask sits comfortably. The shaped nose section matters most in this position because light coming up from a bedside lamp or an early sunrise tends to enter along the nose. Set the strap so the lower edge stays in contact with the cheeks.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it on a plane?", "answer": "Yes. It folds flat, weighs very little and the wide strap is comfortable against a headrest. A best travel sleep mask needs to pack small and survive being stuffed in a bag, and a silk mask does both.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will it stay on if I move in the night?", "answer": "The combination of a wide strap and an adjustable closure helps a lot here. Wide straps grip over a larger area, so they are less likely to ride up than thin cord elastic. Set it snug but not tight and it should stay put.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Why silk rather than cotton?", "answer": "Silk fibres are smooth, so skin and hair slide across the surface with less friction than they do on cotton. Silk also feels cool to the touch when you first put it on. Those are the practical differences, nothing more dramatic than that.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it feel hot to wear?", "answer": "Silk is light and feels cool against the skin when you first put it on, and 19 momme is not a heavy weight. Any fabric over the face will warm up a little during the night. Most people find a silk mask more comfortable in warm rooms than a padded one.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash in cold water with a small amount of mild detergent. Press gently rather than scrubbing or wringing, rinse until the water runs clear, roll in a towel to take out water, then dry flat away from sun and radiators. Keep it out of the machine and the tumble dryer.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I put it in the washing machine?", "answer": "The stated care is hand wash in cold water, so machine washing is not advised. Machine agitation is rough on silk and can also scuff a hook and loop strap. A quick hand wash takes a couple of minutes and keeps the fabric in better shape.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Once a week is a sensible rhythm for something that touches your face nightly, more often if you use creams or oils before bed. If you are travelling and cannot wash it, let it air out during the day rather than leaving it balled up in a bag.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "If it needs pressing, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the silk. Keep the iron away from the hook and loop strap, which does not like heat. Drying the mask flat usually makes ironing unnecessary.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will the black colour run in the wash?", "answer": "Wash it on its own in cold water the first couple of times to be safe, which is standard advice for any dark dyed fabric. Cold water and a mild detergent are kinder to dye than hot water and strong formulas. Never bleach it.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for wearing with makeup on?", "answer": "It can be worn over makeup, but any fabric will pick up residue from foundation, mascara or eye cream. Washing becomes more frequent if you do. Cleansing first keeps the mask looking better for longer.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it work for shift workers?", "answer": "Blocking daylight is the main job for anyone sleeping during the day, and the shaped nose section plus the dense black silk target exactly that. Pair it with earplugs or a white noise source if street noise is the other issue. It is a common pick as a best silk mask for shift workers.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it a good gift?", "answer": "It is. A silk sleep mask is a small, genuinely useful thing that most people will not buy for themselves, and the plain black finish suits anyone. It also travels well in a stocking or a small gift box.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it come with a storage pouch?", "answer": "Any included pouch or packaging is not specified. If that matters for gifting, check before ordering. A small cotton bag from your own cupboard works fine for keeping it clean in a suitcase.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What colours are available?", "answer": "This one is solid black with no print or pattern.

This is mulberry silk at a stated 19 momme, which is a different fabric with a different feel and a different price. The best mulberry silk eye mask options always state both fibre and momme.", "source": "Black 19 Momme Large Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-19-momme-large-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What if it is not right for me?", "answer": "Try it for a few nights first and experiment with the strap tension, since most comfort complaints come from a mask set too tight.

The silk touches your brow, nose and cheekbones but leaves a small space where your eyes are. That gap is what lets you blink freely.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What is momme and why does 22 matter?", "answer": "Momme is the traditional weight measure for silk, a bit like thread count is for cotton, though it works differently. A 22 momme silk is denser and has more body than a lightweight 16 momme fabric. For a sleep mask it means a fuller, more substantial feel rather than something papery.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it really 100% silk?", "answer": "The face fabric is listed as 100% mulberry silk.

How complete the darkness is depends on your own face shape, since everyone's nose bridge and brow differ. Most people find a 3D silk eye mask blocks more than a flat one.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I open my eyes while wearing it?", "answer": "Yes. That is the main point of the contoured shape. There is space inside each cup, so your lashes and lids are not pressed against fabric.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is this good for someone with eyelash extensions?", "answer": "The cups are designed to hold the fabric away from the lash line, which is why many people choose this style over a flat band. Nothing should be resting on the lashes when it is sitting correctly on your face.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it work for side sleepers?", "answer": "It should. The mask is light and the pull-on strap has no buckle or clip at the back or sides, so there is nothing hard between your head and the pillow. Side sleepers often rate this as one of the best eye mask for side sleepers styles for that reason.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How does the strap fasten?", "answer": "It does not fasten. It is a pull-on strap, so you slip it over your head like a headband and position the cups over your eyes. There is no velcro, buckle or slider.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I adjust the tightness?", "answer": "Not with a slider or buckle, since this is a pull-on design. The strap relies on its own stretch and sizing. If you prefer to set the tension yourself, look for an adjustable buckle mask instead.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will the strap pull my hair?", "answer": "There is no velcro or hook-and-loop patch, which is the usual culprit for snagged hair. The strap is wrapped in silk, so it slides over hair rather than gripping it.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What size is the mask?", "answer": "The exact dimensions are not specified.

Black is the usual choice for a sleep mask because it does not show marks as readily as pale shades and it suits anyone.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for men?", "answer": "Yes. Plain black with no print or trim is about as neutral as a mask gets, and it is a common pick when people search for the best silk eye mask for men.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does silk feel cool or warm?", "answer": "Silk tends to feel cool to the touch when you first put it on and does not trap heat the way thick foam does. Some people find it warms slightly with body heat overnight, which is normal for any fabric sitting against skin.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is this good for travel?", "answer": "It is light and comes boxed, so it packs without getting crushed. A contoured mask takes a little more space in a bag than a flat one because of the moulded cups, but it is still small enough for a carry-on pocket.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I use it on a plane or train?", "answer": "Yes. A pull-on strap is easy to put on and take off in a seat without fiddling, and the lack of a buckle means it will not press against a headrest.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will it help if I work night shifts?", "answer": "Many shift workers use a mask to sleep in daylight hours. A contoured shape usually seals better against daytime light than a flat band. Pair it with curtains for the best result.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent made for delicates. Do not soak, bleach or wring. Press out the water with a towel, reshape the cups and dry flat away from direct sun and heat.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can it go in the washing machine?", "answer": "Hand washing is the safer route for 22 momme silk and for the moulded shape. Machine agitation can flatten the cups and dull the surface of the silk over time.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I tumble dry it?", "answer": "No. Heat is hard on silk and will not do the moulded sections any favours. Dry it flat at room temperature instead.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "It depends how you use it. If you apply creams or make-up before bed, wash it more often. Many people run it through a gentle hand wash every week or two and let it air between uses.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "Only if you need to, on the lowest setting, on the reverse of the fabric and keeping the iron away from the moulded cups. Most of the time airing it flat is enough.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will the black colour run?", "answer": "Wash it on its own the first time or two in cool water, which is sensible practice with any dark dyed fabric. Avoid soaking and avoid hot water.", "source": "Black 22 Momme Contoured Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it come with a storage pouch?", "answer": "The maker states it comes boxed.

It covers the eyes to block light while you sleep. The strap fastens with hook and loop so you can adjust how tight it sits.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What material is it made from?", "answer": "The maker lists it as 100% mulberry silk. Mulberry silk is made from the cocoons of silkworms fed on mulberry leaves, which produces long, even filaments. That is what gives the fabric its smooth surface.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What does it look like?", "answer": "The ground colour is black and the print is small gold stars scattered across it. It reads as subtle rather than bold, so it works for adults as well as teenagers. The gold catches the light slightly when the mask is moved.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How does the strap fasten?", "answer": "With a hook and loop fastening, the kind you press together. You pull the strap to the tension you want and press it closed. There is no buckle and no fixed elastic loop to stretch out.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is the strap adjustable?", "answer": "Yes. The hook and loop closure means you set the circumference yourself rather than accepting one fixed size. That makes it one of the better options if you want an adjustable silk sleep mask that fits a smaller or larger head.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will it block all light?", "answer": "It covers the eyes and cuts the light in the room considerably, but no soft fabric mask is a total blackout. A little light can creep in at the nose if you have a high bridge. Tightening the strap a notch usually closes that gap.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What size is it?", "answer": "The maker does not state the dimensions, so we cannot quote measurements. It is a standard single-piece eye mask shape designed to cover both eyes. The adjustable strap handles most of the fit variation.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How heavy is it?", "answer": "The maker does not state a weight. It is described as light in weight, which is normal for a single layer of silk with a fabric strap. In practice you stop noticing it within a few minutes.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What momme weight is the silk?", "answer": "The maker does not state the momme weight. Momme is the unit used to describe silk density, and without it published we will not guess. What is confirmed is that the fabric is 100% mulberry silk.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it good for side sleepers?", "answer": "Yes, this is one of the better cases for a soft mask. Because it is light and unpadded, there is no bulky foam pressing between your face and the pillow. A comfortable eye mask for side sleeping needs to stay flat, and this one does.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it on a plane?", "answer": "It is well suited to it. A silk eye mask for travel needs to be light, foldable and quick to adjust, and this one ticks all three. It packs down to almost nothing in a carry-on.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it work for daytime naps?", "answer": "Yes. Daytime light is the hardest kind to sleep through, so an eye cover makes a real difference for an afternoon nap. Pull the strap slightly snugger than you would at night to reduce light at the edges.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for shift workers?", "answer": "It is a sensible choice if you sleep during daylight hours. A silk eye mask for shift workers gets used far more often than one for occasional travel, so the hand wash routine matters. Having two and rotating them is a common approach.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Why silk rather than cotton?", "answer": "Silk filaments are long and smooth, so skin and lashes slide across the surface with less friction than they do on cotton. Cotton is woven from shorter fibres with a rougher finish. That is the practical difference, nothing more dramatic than that.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will it crease my face?", "answer": "A smooth, light mask is less likely to leave deep pressure marks than a thick padded one with hard seams. Keeping the strap at a comfortable tension rather than pulling it tight also helps. Everyone's skin behaves differently.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it catch on eyelashes?", "answer": "Silk has a smooth surface, so lashes tend to glide rather than snag. That is one of the common reasons people switch to silk from a textured or fleece-lined mask. Keep the hook strip closed when not in use so it cannot catch anything.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash only, in cool water with a small amount of gentle detergent. Swirl it gently, rinse, and press the water out between a towel. Do not wring, twist or scrub.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can it go in the washing machine?", "answer": "No. The care instruction is hand wash only, and machine agitation will dull and weaken silk over time. Even a delicates cycle is more movement than this fabric wants.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I tumble dry it?", "answer": "No. Dry it flat on a towel, away from radiators and direct sun. Heat and strong light are the two things that shorten the life of silk fastest.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Should I iron it?", "answer": "Only if you really want to, on the coolest setting, with the mask between two layers of cloth. Most creases drop out on their own once the mask has been worn for a few minutes. Never iron directly over the hook and loop strip.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Why do I need to close the strap before washing?", "answer": "An open hook strip acts like a tiny comb and will grab silk threads in the water. Pressing it closed first keeps the hooks away from the fabric. It is a small habit that protects the mask.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Every week or two is a reasonable rhythm for nightly use, more often if you use night cream or wear makeup to bed. Anything that sits against the face picks up oils. Washing little and often is kinder than a hard scrub once a season.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How long will it last?", "answer": "Hand washed and dried flat, a silk mask should hold up for years. The usual failure point on any mask is the strap rather than the fabric, so avoid yanking it off by the strap. Open the fastening instead.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it suit people who wear it over long hair?", "answer": "Yes. The strap is adjustable, so you can set it to sit comfortably over hair that is tied up or left loose. Position the fastening to one side if a knot at the back of your head is in the way.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it a good gift?", "answer": "It is one of the easier gifts to get right, because there is no sizing guesswork. A silk sleep mask gift works for travellers, new parents, students and anyone complaining about early mornings. The star print keeps it from looking purely functional.", "source": "Gold Star Print Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/gold-star-print-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can children use it?", "answer": "Older children generally manage a mask fine, and the star print appeals to them.

No other materials are specified for this mask.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What does grade 6A mulberry silk mean?", "answer": "Grade 6A refers to the length and consistency of the raw silk filament used in the fabric, with 6A being the long, even grade. In practice it means a smooth, tightly woven surface with few slubs. The maker states grade 6A for both faces of this mask.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is the silk real?", "answer": "The listing states mulberry silk on both sides, so the face fabric is silk rather than a synthetic imitation. The padding inside is cotton. Silk feels cool to the touch at first and warms quickly against the skin, which is one way people recognise it.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Why does the mask have cotton padding instead of silk filling?", "answer": "Cotton padding gives the mask body and a bit of loft, which helps it sit against the face and shut out light. Silk fabric on its own would be too thin to block much. The padding is sealed between the two silk faces so you only feel silk against your skin.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How does it block light?", "answer": "The padding adds thickness so light does not pass through the fabric, and the slight loft lets the mask follow the shape around your eyes and nose. No sleep mask is completely light-tight at the edges, but a padded one blocks far more than a flat single-layer eye cover.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What size is it?", "answer": "The exact mask dimensions are not specified. Most adult sleep masks of this style fit a wide range of head sizes thanks to the adjustable strap. If exact dimensions matter to you, contact us before ordering.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How long is the strap?", "answer": "The strap length is not specified. It is adjustable and closes with a buckle, which lets you set it shorter or longer within its range. This is the main reason buckle masks tend to suit more head sizes than fixed elastic ones.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is one size suitable for most people?", "answer": "The adjustable buckle strap is designed to cover a normal adult range. People with very small or very large head measurements should note that the exact strap range is not stated. Children can usually wear an adjustable adult mask, though the mask body may sit wide on a small face.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What is the momme weight of the silk?", "answer": "The momme weight is not specified. Momme measures how dense a silk fabric is, and most sleep masks sit in the mid range. What is confirmed here is grade 6A mulberry silk on both faces.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does the mask press on my eyes?", "answer": "It rests against the face rather than pressing into the eye sockets, and the cotton padding spreads the contact. If you find any mask heavy on the eyelids, loosen the buckle by a notch. People who dislike pressure sometimes prefer a contoured cup mask instead.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it on my side?", "answer": "Yes. A soft padded mask with a buckle strap is usually fine for side sleepers, since there is no bulky plastic frame. Position the buckle slightly off to one side so it does not sit directly under your ear against the pillow. Many people shopping for the best silk eye mask for side sleepers choose a flat padded style for this reason.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will the buckle be uncomfortable against the pillow?", "answer": "The buckle is small, but it is a hard point compared to the rest of the strap. Rotating the strap so the buckle sits at the back or to the side of your head solves it for most people. Once set, you rarely need to touch it again.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it slide off during the night?", "answer": "An adjustable buckle holds its setting better than stretched elastic, so the mask tends to stay put. If it does shift, tighten by one notch rather than pulling it very tight. Overtightening causes marks on the skin and tends to make people take the mask off.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Is it good for travel?", "answer": "Yes. It is light, packs flat, and takes up almost no space in a carry-on or handbag. For flights and overnight trains, anyone looking for the best silk eye mask for travel wants something slim that does not need a case to survive being squashed.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it work for daytime sleeping?", "answer": "It does. Shift workers, new parents and nappers all use masks like this to get the room dark enough during daylight hours. A padded mask blocks more daytime light than a thin unlined one.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will it mark my skin?", "answer": "Any mask worn snugly can leave a temporary line, the same way a pillow can. Setting the buckle just tight enough to hold and no tighter is the fix. Silk slides over the skin rather than gripping it, which helps.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Will it crease my eyelashes?", "answer": "A padded mask lifts slightly off the lashes rather than lying flat against them, which helps. If you wear lash extensions and are concerned, set the strap loosely and sleep on your back where you can. Some people prefer a contoured cup design for extra clearance.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it with long hair?", "answer": "Yes. Pass the strap under a low ponytail or over loose hair, whichever you find easier. Silk does not catch and snag hair the way a rough fabric strap can, which is partly why people seek out the best silk sleep mask for long hair.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it with glasses or contact lenses?", "answer": "You take glasses off to sleep, so that is not an issue. With contact lenses, the usual advice is to remove them before sleeping, and that advice is unrelated to the mask. The mask itself does not touch the eye surface.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How do I wash it?", "answer": "Hand wash only, in cool water with a small amount of mild detergent for delicates. Swirl rather than scrub, rinse well, and do not wring. Press out the water in a towel and dry flat away from direct heat.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I put it in the washing machine?", "answer": "The care instruction is hand wash only, so the machine is not recommended. A machine cycle risks abrading the silk and distorting the padding, and the buckle can knock around against the drum. Hand washing takes two minutes.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I tumble dry it?", "answer": "No. Heat is hard on silk and on the cotton padding inside. Lay the mask flat on a towel, reshape it, and let it air dry. It is a small, light item so it dries quickly.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How often should I wash it?", "answer": "Every week or two for regular nightly use, more often if you use face creams or oils at night. Washing it before oils build up keeps the silk looking and feeling better for longer. Let it dry fully before the next use.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "If it needs smoothing, use the lowest setting with a cloth between the iron and the silk, and avoid the buckle and strap. In most cases a mask hung or laid flat after washing will not need ironing at all. Never iron it while damp with heat turned up.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What colour is it exactly?", "answer": "It is a solid grey purple, a muted shade rather than a bright violet. The reverse of the mask is black silk. Screens vary, so the exact tone may look slightly different in person.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it come with a storage pouch?", "answer": "A pouch is not listed as included, so assume the mask is supplied on its own. Any small cotton or silk bag works for storage. Keeping it in a bag stops dust and keeps it from snagging on other items in a drawer.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "Does it make a good gift?", "answer": "Yes. It is small, it suits almost anyone, and it does not need a size to be chosen. The best silk sleep mask gift tends to be one that looks considered without being personal, and a calm grey purple fits that well.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How is it delivered and how long does it take?", "answer": "Orders are sent tracked from European warehouses and usually arrive in 5 to 8 working days.

You will get tracking details by email once it is dispatched.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What if it is not right for me?", "answer": "Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back. Keep the mask unused and in its packaging where possible, as that makes a return straightforward. We would rather sort it out than have you stuck with a mask you do not wear.", "source": "Grey Purple Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/grey-purple-mulberry-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What exactly is this product?", "answer": "It is a sleep mask made from 100% mulberry silk at 22 momme. Unlike a flat mask, the front is moulded into two eye cups that are 14 mm deep, so the silk sits in front of your eyes rather than on them.", "source": "Pink and Black 22 Momme Contoured Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/pink-and-black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What does 22 momme mean?", "answer": "Momme is the old unit used to describe silk weight, a bit like thread count for cotton. 22 momme is a dense, substantial silk that most people associate with good bedding and sleepwear, heavier than a light scarf silk.", "source": "Pink and Black 22 Momme Contoured Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/pink-and-black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "What is grade 6A silk?", "answer": "Grade 6A refers to the length and consistency of the silk filaments used in the yarn. Longer, more even fibres produce a smoother, stronger fabric surface. It is the grade stated for this mask.", "source": "Pink and Black 22 Momme Contoured Silk Sleep Mask", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/pink-and-black-22-momme-contoured-silk-sleep-mask/" }, { "question": "How deep are the eye cups?", "answer": "They are 14 mm deep.

Combined with the wider cut, it is much darker than a single-layer mask. No flat mask seals completely around every nose and brow shape, so expect very good darkness rather than total blackout.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Why does the pink one need a black layer?", "answer": "Pale silk on its own lets a fair amount of light through, especially in a room with a street lamp outside. The dark backing sits behind the peach pink face, so you get the softer colour on the outside and the light control on the inside. Both masks share that construction.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Will it fit my head?", "answer": "The band is elastic and adjustable, so it can be shortened or let out to suit different head sizes.

Treated kindly, silk holds up well over repeated washes.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Can I iron it?", "answer": "If it needs smoothing, use the lowest silk setting and press on the reverse side, keeping the iron away from the elastic. Most of the time flat drying removes any creasing on its own. Steam at a distance is gentler than direct contact.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Does the colour run in the wash?", "answer": "Wash the black and peach pink masks separately the first few times, as you would with any dark and pale pair. Cool water reduces the chance of any dye loosening. After a couple of careful washes you can usually treat them as a normal delicates load.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Is it suitable for children?", "answer": "The band adjusts down, so it can be made small enough for an older child. Judgement is needed for younger children, and anything worn over the face during sleep should be supervised with younger ones. There is no stated age rating from the maker.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Can I wear it with eyelash extensions?", "answer": "Many people with extensions prefer a flat silk mask because the surface is smooth rather than fibrous. That said, any flat mask makes contact with the lashes. If keeping all pressure off lashes is essential, a contoured style is the safer pick.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Will it work for shift work or daytime sleeping?", "answer": "It is a reasonable choice for daytime sleep because of the dark backing layer and the wider panel. Pair it with a blind or curtain for best results, since daylight at the edges of a room is much stronger than lamp light. A lot of shift workers look for the best blackout sleep mask and end up combining a mask with a curtain rather than relying on either alone.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Does the mask feel hot?", "answer": "Silk is a light fibre and the mask covers only a small area, so it generally feels cool to the touch when you first put it on. Comfort in a warm room depends more on the room than on the mask. Keeping the band loose helps air move around the edges.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Is there any scent or coating on the silk?", "answer": "No treatment, coating or fragrance is stated by the maker. A new textile can carry a faint storage smell, which a gentle cool hand wash will clear. Dry it flat and it should be ready the same day.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Can I use it with skincare on?", "answer": "You can, but the silk will absorb some of whatever you apply, which means washing it more often. Give heavy creams or oils a few minutes to settle before you put the mask on. That reduces transfer and keeps the fabric looking better for longer.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Does it come with a storage pouch?", "answer": "A pouch is not listed as part of the set. If you plan to carry one in a bag, a small cotton or silk pouch keeps the silk away from keys and zips. A clean sandwich-sized fabric bag does the job perfectly well.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "Is this a good gift?", "answer": "It works well as one, because two colours in a set suits a couple, a pair of friends or a traveller who wants a spare. Silk feels like a small luxury without costing much, which is why a silk eye mask set is a popular present for birthdays and Christmas. No gift packaging is specified.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "How long will they last?", "answer": "That depends on how often you wash them and how carefully. The silk itself is durable for its weight, and the elastic is usually the first part to relax with age. Cool washing and flat drying extend the life of both considerably.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "What if the band stretches out over time?", "answer": "Elastic naturally loses some tension after a lot of wear, which is normal in any mask with a stretch band. Keeping it away from hot water and tumble dryers slows that down a great deal. Having a second mask in the set means you always have a backup with fresh elastic.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" }, { "question": "How is the order delivered?", "answer": "Delivery is tracked and sent from our regional warehouses. Orders are sent tracked from European warehouses and usually arrive in 5 to 8 working days.

Keep the masks unused and in their original packaging if you think you might send them back, since worn items that have been against the face cannot usually be resold.

If the fit, the colour or the darkness is not what you expected, you can return them within the returns window on the terms shown at checkout. If something arrived damaged or the set is incomplete, send us a photo and we will replace it rather than making you fight for it.", "source": "Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask 2 Pack, Black and Peach Pink", "url": "https://mulberrysilk.irish/silk-sleep-masks-2-pack-black-and-peach-pink/" } ] }
