At the level of materials science, Mulberry Bonnet made from mulberry silk demonstrates significant advantages. Its fiber diameter is approximately 18 microns, which is only 60% of that of standard satin material (usually over 30 microns). This ultra-fine structure reduces the hair friction coefficient to 0.2, a 52% decrease compared to satin’s 0.42. According to a 2021 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (sample size =300), after continuous use of mulberry silk products for six months, the average hair split rate of participants decreased by 40%, while that of the satin control group only decreased by 15%. Physical test data shows that the surface smoothness of mulberry silk is 35% higher than that of satin, and its humidity regulation ability is better. In an environment with a humidity of 60%, the fluctuation range of the surface moisture content of mulberry silk is controlled within ±0.5%, which is significantly better than the deviation value of ±2.1% for satin.
Consumer experience research further confirms this difference. The 2023 Sephora user survey (with 5,200 valid responses) shows that the user satisfaction rate of Mulberry Bonnet is 96%, mainly attributed to its temperature regulation function – at a room temperature of 26°C, the surface temperature of mulberry silk is 1.8°C lower than that of satin, reducing the risk of scalp overheating by 45%. In the hair breaking strength test, after 30 simulated sleep friction cycles, the retention rate of the hair breaking strength wrapped in mulberry silk reached 92%, while that of the satin group was only 78%. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles shared on social media that after switching to Mulberry Bonnet, her budget for hair restoration was reduced by $30 per month.
Economic benefits and environmental protection benefits constitute the third advantage. Although the initial cost of the mulberry bonnet (about $45) is higher than that of an ordinary satin hat ($20), its material has a lifespan of up to 5 years, which is 2.5 times the average lifespan of satin products (2 years). The daily usage cost is only 0.03 US dollars, which is 50% lower than that of satin at 0.03 US dollars. The industry life cycle assessment report shows that the carbon emissions from producing each gram of mulberry silk are 0.8kg CO²e, which is a 47% reduction compared to the 1.5kg CO²e of satin materials. In 2024, LVMH Group’s supply chain data confirmed that after its hair care brand switched to Mulberry Bonnet, it reduced its annual average purchase of chemical fabric softeners by 15 tons.
Special application scenarios highlight professional value. In the care of chemotherapy patients, the Mayo Clinic’s 2022 clinical report indicates that the incidence of scalp stinging among patients using Mulberry Bonnet dropped to 8%, significantly lower than the 27% in the satin material group. Industry estimates in the hair salon sector show that after 30 high-frequency uses daily, the structural integrity retention rate of mulberry silk still reaches 85% after three years, while the performance of satin products declines to 63% during the same period. During the Tokyo Olympics, the hair care plan of the national swimming team showed that using mulberry silk products in combination with post-swimming care reduced the accumulation of hair salt crystals by 62%, which was significantly better than the traditional satin plan. The core value of choosing Mulberry Bonnet lies in its material engineering innovation – the amino acid composition in mulberry silk protein is 70% similar to the hair keratin layer. This biocompatibility increases the hair care efficiency to three times that of satin material, and builds a comprehensive technical barrier in dimensions such as hair keratin protection and temperature and humidity regulation.
