Questions answered
Silk is a fiber and satin is a weave. Satin can be made from silk, polyester, or rayon. Polyester satin is more affordable but does not breathe as well as silk satin.
Yes, in my experience the reduced friction means less breakage and tangle, especially for curly or color-treated hair. The benefit is small but real after a few weeks.
