How to Choose the Right Silk Bonnet Size

Measure around your head along the hairline — across your forehead, around the ears (optional), and down to the nape of your neck. Whether you include your ears is purely personal preference and depends on how you like your bonnet to sit.

How to choose the right silk bonnet size

LS Silk bonnets come in three sizes: Small–Medium, Medium, and Medium–Large. Each bonnet has elastic at the back opening, designed to flex for a comfortable fit across a range of head sizes.

Medium: measures about 20.5 in relaxed and stretches up to 22.0 in (52–56 cm). Best for head measurements of 20.5–22.0 in (52–56 cm).

Medium–Large: measures about 22.0 in relaxed and stretches up to 23.6 in (56–60 cm). Best for head measurements of 22.0–24.4 in (56–62 cm).

Small–Medium: measures about 18.9 in relaxed and stretches up to 20.5 in (48–52 cm). Best for head measurements of 18.9–20.5 in (48–52 cm).

When to size up

If you have very long hair (past bra strap), very thick hair, or wear protective styles like box braids, locs, or twists, we recommend choosing the larger size even if your head measurement is under 22.0 in (56 cm). The extra room helps keep hair comfortably tucked in without feeling tight.

We always recommend measuring before purchasing — it’s the easiest way to get a secure, comfortable fit that stays on through the night.
