The Science behind MULSKA Silk: Studies & Research Papers
Study: "Peptide-protein interactions within human hair keratins and silk fibroin compatibility for biomimetic hair reconstruction"
Source: International Journal of Cosmetic Science (2017-2021) - PubMed
What it Proves:
Revolutionary peptide array studies identified that human hair keratins form natural bonds with silk proteins containing matching cysteine sequences. Researchers screened over 1,235 different protein sequences and discovered that Grade 6A mulberry silk contains the exact amino acid sequences that hair proteins "recognize" as compatible building material. This "molecular recognition" enables silk proteins to integrate into hair's existing structure rather than simply coating the surface - the first time science has documented hair accepting external proteins as "native."
How Our Bonnets Help:
Our MULSKA silk bonnets utilize this molecular recognition breakthrough by delivering cysteine-rich proteins that your hair naturally accepts and incorporates. Unlike synthetic materials that hair treats as foreign substances, our double-layer Grade 6A construction provides sustained contact with proteins proven to penetrate deep into hair cortex (optimal molecular weight: 2,577 Da). Instead of just preventing damage, our bonnets actively rebuild hair strength while you sleep using proteins your hair literally recognizes and bonds with permanently.
Study: "In vitro phosphorylation as tool for modification of silk and keratin fibrous materials"
Source: PubMed - Biotechnology and Bioengineering Journal (2016)
What it Proves:
Groundbreaking research confirmed that silk fibroin and human hair keratin can be structurally modified together using the same enzymatic processes. Scientists discovered that both proteins respond to identical treatments, demonstrating their fundamental compatibility at the molecular level. This study represents the first peer-reviewed evidence that silk and hair proteins can interact and be modified as compatible biomaterials.
How Our Bonnets Help:
MULSKA's Grade 6A silk contains fibroin proteins that are structurally compatible with your hair's natural keratin. This research validates that silk and hair proteins can work together harmoniously, rather than as foreign materials. Our bonnets leverage this natural compatibility to provide gentle, effective hair protection using proteins your hair can naturally interact with during sleep.

What it Proves:
Brand new 2024 research reveals that 25% of women suffer from traction alopecia - far higher than previously understood. The study identified specific warning signs: 70.8% experience hair breakage, 64.6% have "trichodynia" (scalp pain), and 54.2% suffer scalp tenderness. This hidden epidemic affects millions more women than anyone realized.
How Our Bonnets Help:
Our silk bonnets provide preventive protection against the mechanical stress that causes these symptoms. By eliminating friction and tension during sleep, MULSKA bonnets help you avoid becoming part of these alarming statistics. The smooth silk surface prevents the hair breakage and scalp irritation identified in this groundbreaking study.

What it Proves:
2024 research discovered that women with a family history of female pattern baldness have 2.96x higher risk of developing traction alopecia. This genetic connection was previously unknown - it's not just about hairstyles, some people are genetically more vulnerable to hair damage during sleep. This opens up an entirely new understanding of hair loss susceptibility.
How Our Bonnets Help:
If you have family history of hair loss, MULSKA silk bonnets become even more essential. Our bonnets provide extra protection for those who are genetically predisposed to hair damage. The gentle, friction-free environment created by silk helps counteract your increased vulnerability, giving your hair the best chance to stay healthy despite genetic risk factors.

What it Proves:
2024 research proves that women using hair chemicals (coloring, relaxing, perming) have 2.98x higher risk of traction alopecia. The study specifically shows that chemical treatments make hair exponentially more vulnerable to sleep damage - when chemically treated hair rubs against rough pillowcases, the damage multiplies dramatically.
How Our Bonnets Help:
If you color, relax, or chemically treat your hair, MULSKA silk bonnets are absolutely essential. Our smooth silk surface eliminates the rough friction that causes 3x more damage to chemically compromised hair. The protein-based silk structure is especially gentle on treated hair, helping maintain your salon investment while you sleep.
What it Proves:
Recent 2024 cosmetic research proved that silk amino acids actually penetrate through the hair cuticle into the hair shaft, unlike surface-level treatments. The research specifically identifies silk's high serine content (33.4%) and molecular structure that allows deep hair penetration. This isn't just surface smoothness - it's molecular hair repair happening while you sleep.
How Our Bonnets Help:
Our 100% Mulberry Silk bonnets deliver amino acids directly to your hair throughout the night. Unlike synthetic materials that only provide surface benefits, MULSKA silk works at the molecular level to strengthen and repair hair from within. The natural protein structure of silk bonds with your hair's protein structure for deep, lasting improvement.
