Kids with natural, curly, coily, or braided hair who need overnight protection for their style. Sized for a child's head circumference — Annie sells a separate line of adult-sized sleeping caps/bonnets, so this one shouldn't be conflated with those.

A cotton pillowcase pulls moisture out of curly and coily hair and roughs up the cuticle overnight. Swapping that friction for satin is a simple way to help a child wake up with a braid-out or twist-out still intact instead of frizzed flat on one side.

Before bed, gather the child's hair and hold the cap open with the seam/hook positioned at the nape of the neck. Stretch the cap forward over the length of the hair, tucking any loose ends up inside so nothing hangs out. Remove in the morning.

Pros:

• Satin lining is gentler on curls/braids than a cotton pillowcase, reducing overnight frizz and tangling
• Stretch band keeps it in place through a night of movement without leaving tight marks

Cons:

• Like any single-layer sleep cap, can loosen or slip on very fine or short hair overnight
• Satin protects against friction but doesn't add structure to hold a set style in place
