The problem with ordinary hoods
If your hood ruins your hairstyle immediately and causes frizz and unwanted irritation, this is why:
Most hoods are lined with cotton or “satin” (usually polyester).
- Cotton is rough and highly absorbent. It wicks natural oils and products, creating dry, frizzy, tangled hair and irritation where the hood rubs your skin.
- Poly satin feels slippery at first, but the synthetic fiber traps heat and sweat, builds static, and can still scuff hair cuticles—so blowouts, curls and edges don’t last.
Zwilky’s solution: silk, done right
Meet the Original Silk-Lined Hoodie by zwilky—engineered to protect hair, preserve styles and feel incredible on skin.
- 6A-grade mulberry silk (the highest grade on the standard A–6A scale) for exceptional smoothness and strength.
- 22-momme weight: the sweet spot for luxury hand-feel, breathability, and durability—not flimsy, not heavy.
- Low-friction surface so hair glides instead of snags—less frizz, breakage, and halo.
- Lower absorbency than cotton to help retain moisture and keep ends from feeling parched.
- Naturally breathable & thermoregulating—no sweaty, plasticky feel inside the hood.
- Skin-kind contact around hairline and cheeks; less rubbing, less product wicking.
The result? Styles last longer, curls keep their shape, silk-press stays smooth, skin feels calmer—and the hood finally helps, not hurts.
