Why Our Silk Is the Gold Standard for Your Hair

Silk has long been synonymous with luxury - but not all silk is created equal. At SILKE London, we’re unapologetically picky. The secret behind our wrap that doesn't just look luxe, but actually transforms your hair? It's the 22 momme difference. This is the silk that goes beyond softness - it shields, conditions and elevates your routine, strand by strand.

1. First things first — what is momme?

Pronounced moe-mee, momme is how silk quality is measured - a reflection of it's weight, density, and durability.

We use 22 momme, Grade 6A long-fibre silk - because it hits the sweet spot: thick enough to protect, restore and style, but breathable enough to wear at night. 

2. Silk vs Satin: Know what’s touching your hair

There’s a big difference between real silk and synthetic satin. Satin might look the part, but it's usually polyester in disguise. That's plastic. That's friction. That's breakage waiting to happen. 

SILKE products are crafted exclusively from 100% pure mulberry silk - no blends, no synthetics, just the real deal. And your hair can tell the difference.

Bottom line? Silk protects. Satin pretends.

3. It feels different — because it is different

If you’re used to the slippery shine of satin, real silk might surprise you. It’s smoother, softer, with a subtle matte finish - and once you’ve felt it, you won’t go back.

Every product we make is designed to work with your hair, not against it. From our overnight Hair Wrap to our snag-free silk scrunchies, every detail is engineered for comfort, performance and results. That's quiet luxury - for your hair. 

4. Haircare that actually delivers

The original SILKE Hair Wrap didn't happen overnight. It took two years and 30 prototypes to perfect. Why? Because Maria Sotiriou, our co-founder and a professional hairstylist of 37 years, wouldn't settle for less. 

We’ve never chosen the cheapest. Only what works.

And that no-compromise mindset lives in every single piece we make - whether you’re sleeping, styling, or spiralling into a heatless curl routine. 22 momme silk is our standard, not our upgrade.

No shortcuts. No synthetics. Just results your hair will notice - and your mirror will confirm.

"I have been wearing the SILKE Hair Wrap for about 6 weeks now. I have fine, flyaway hair and it has really transformed how my hair is every morning. I can literally get up and go! My hairdresser has even commented on how healthy my hair is." - Mary R.

5. Yes — it’s real silk. And here’s why that matters.

We understand that when a product feels incredibly smooth and featherlight, it might seem too good to be true. But rest assured: our products are made from the highest grade silk available anywhere in the world.

We use:

We take pride in our materials and our integrity. When we say silk, we mean it - and we’re fully transparent about how and why it performs.

Our founder’s background in professional haircare means we create products with purpose - designed not just to feel luxurious, but to genuinely improve your hair.

Love, SILKE xo
