Waking up to find your perfect blowout from the day before looking like a frizzy mess can start your morning off on the wrong foot. I always used to blame my hair products — that is, until I started using Fishers Finery Mulberry Silk Pillowcase and I realized my cheap 'case was the real culprit behind my bad hair days.

Okay, let's back up a minute. I know silk pillowcases are nothing new, and women have been using them to keep their hair smooth for years, but I swear that this particular pillowcase is the one that will finally convince you to switch from cotton to silk if you haven't already.

I was first introduced to this hair-taming miracle when the Good Housekeeping Institute named it the winner of their silk pillowcase test earlier this year. Besides raving about how it kept hair dents at bay, our testers said it also kept them nice and cool at night. Over 1,000 Amazon reviewers agree that it's a game-changer, too.

I have to admit, I wasn't immediately ready to jump on the Fishers Finery bandwagon — primarily because it's $42 for a queen size. But then I learned that after reading about the Institute's test results, over 200 of our readers decided to buy it for themselves. So I made the purchase, and all I can say is hello, literal beauty sleep.

On top of how comfortable the satin is, I was surprised by how cool it stayed. Think “just flipped to the other side” temperature all night long. Plus, as a nighttime shower person, bedhead is a serious issue for my wavy hair. Normally, I have to touch my curls up with a wand every morning, but because there is less friction when tossing and turning on silk, I now wake up with less frizz and tangles, meaning I can skip the hot tools all together. I’ll gladly shell out the $40 to save 20 minutes a day on my morning routine!

A couple things to remember: Silk pillowcases will stain more easily than other fabrics. Fishers Finery recommends that you either hand wash or use a delicate cycle for cleaning, preferably in a machine without a center agitator to keep from damaging your pillowcases. But, considering the perks that this silky pillowcase comes with I'm happy to give it a little extra TLC.

Now the only question left is should I get my second pillowcase in English Rose or Silver Pearl?
