Walk into any beauty supply store and you’ll see both silk and polyester durags. But which one actually works? Let’s settle it.
Polyester Durags ❌
Cheap, scratchy, and thin. They don’t compress well and often slide off at night. They also absorb moisture, leaving your hair dry.
Silk Durags ✅
Smooth, breathable, and elite for compression. The Silky Durag keeps hair laid, products locked in, and won’t snag your pattern.
FAQs
Q: Are polyester durags ever worth it?
👉 Only if you’re on a super tight budget. Otherwise, upgrade immediately.
Q: Do silk durags cost more?
👉 Yes, but they last longer and protect your hair better.
Q: Can polyester still get waves?
👉 Technically, yes, but expect slower progress and more frustration.

Final Thoughts
Silk beats polyester every time. For comfort, compression, and style, grab a Silky Durag. Reinforce with a Wave Cap, and keep a 360 Waves Durag in rotation. Polyester just can’t compete.
