Sleeping with Satin…
Everybody with hair needs a satin pillow case…No more overnight hair drama, No more too tight scarves cutting off your circulation,
America’s Next Natural Model,
Vee’s Satin Treasure!
To be honest, I’ve always known better than to sleep on cotton, but still I did. The rationale behind sleeping on satin made so much sense, but still I never bothered. I was intrigued by this second challenge. I wanted to see if I’d truly feel a difference.

Sarah Nkosazana’s Hair Story
