Collection: Silk accessories

Silk accessories from the Lullaby collection

Oh!Zuza silk accessories are hair ties and headbands made from 100% silk, belonging to the Lullaby collection—the same collection that features the silk pyjamas, collared nightgown, peignoir, and camisole. The paisley pattern in deep navy blue unifies all elements into a single sleep set that cannot be replicated with products from different brands.

The Lullaby collection was created for women who treat sleep as a ritual, not merely a technical break between days. A silk hair tie and silk eye mask play a very practical role in this ritual: they protect hair from creasing and tangling, and they block out light when you want to fall into a deeper sleep. Unlike standalone accessories, Lullaby accessories match the colour of the rest of your nightwear—pyjamas, peignoir, nightgown—because they are made from the same bolt of fabric.

The silk we use for this collection is matte, cool to the touch, and soft from the very first wear. It doesn't need to be broken in, doesn't stiffen after the first wash, and doesn't generate static electricity. The paisley pattern—a traditional, oriental teardrop motif—is printed, not embossed, so the touch remains uniformly smooth regardless of the area.

This category falls under the broader section of women's accessories, where you'll also find cotton, wool, and satin versions. Silk accessories are a distinct shelf there—they don't replace the others but complement the nightwear set in terms of a material that best works with hair and facial skin.

Silk hair tie—what it does for your hair

A silk hair tie doesn't tangle, pull out, or crease hair—these three qualities stem directly from its design: the smooth silk fibre doesn't snag on hair cuticles, and the wider fabric ring distributes pressure over a larger area than a narrow classic hair tie. The effect is noticeable in the morning when you remove the tie and your hair doesn't have an imprinted line where it was tied.

The scrunchie model from the Lullaby collection features a ruched ring with a soft elastic hidden inside. The outer layer is silk in navy and sky blue paisley—two colour options, both within the same palette. Silk doesn't generate static electricity when removed, so hair ends don't lift or break when a bun is quickly untied. This makes a significant difference, especially in winter, in the dry air of heated rooms.

Compared to classic elastic and terry cloth hair ties, silk thin hair ties work on a different principle. Elastic holds by compressive force and friction—the tighter it squeezes, the more securely it holds, but also the more it creases and pulls hair when removed. Terry cloth is soft but has a rough surface where fine hairs can get tangled. Silk holds a hairstyle due to the width and volume of the ring, not the force of compression.

Hair ties are particularly useful in two situations: when you tie your hair up at night to prevent it from rubbing against the pillow, and when you wear it tied up during the day and want to avoid a crease after letting it down. More variations of the same solution—in different fabrics and patterns—can be found in the scrunchie hair ties category.

Silk eye mask for sleeping

A silk eye mask for sleeping blocks out light and puts the brain into rest mode faster than darkened curtains. The Lullaby collection model is made from 100% silk, in the same navy paisley pattern as the rest of the collection, and features a soft elastic that doesn't compress the head or leave marks on the temples. It's suitable for sleeping in bed, napping during plane travel, or for an afternoon rejuvenation when the room is bright.

The silk in the mask has one specific task for the skin—it is cool and smooth, so it doesn't pull the skin of the eyelids with every head turn. This is important if you sleep on your side and the mask moves with the pillow. The material doesn't absorb eye creams like cotton does, so it doesn't remove skincare from your face during the first hour of sleep.

The design is simple and deliberately minimal: two layers of silk, a thin lining inside, stitching all around, and an elastic at the back. There's no adjustable buckle closure or foam padding—the fewer hard elements, the fewer pressure points on the temples and back of the head. The mask stays in place thanks to an elastic band whose length is matched to the average head circumference of an adult woman.

A silk eye mask for sleeping is particularly useful when travelling, where you have no control over lighting. On a plane, a night train, a hotel with thin curtains—anywhere you need to bring your own darkness. The broader category of sleeping eye masks also includes versions in other materials if you're looking for an alternative to silk.

Silk hair band

A silk hair band protects your hairstyle from frizz and damage—it keeps hair away from your face, doesn't pull at your scalp, and doesn't leave marks on your temples. The Lullaby model is a wide silk headband in navy paisley, with an elastic hidden inside, designed to be slipped over your head rather than tied at the back.

This type of headband is suitable for three situations: for morning and evening face care when you want to brush back your fringe and hair around your ears, for sleeping—as an alternative to tying hair with a tie when you don't want a bun, and for daytime wear if you like to use a headband as a styling accessory. In each of these roles, silk works the same way: the smooth fibre doesn't snag on hair, and the width of the headband distributes pressure, so it doesn't hurt behind the ears even after several hours.

Unlike thin plastic or metal headbands, a silk hair band doesn't leave a ridge where it's worn. This is important if you use it in the shower or for washing your face—after removal, your hair won't have a lasting crease that needs to be brushed out or straightened.

If you're looking for a wider selection in this category—other widths, other tying methods, other fabrics—you'll find the full range in the hair bands section. The Lullaby silk version is an option for women who are curating an entire sleepwear wardrobe in a single design.

How to wash silk accessories

Wash silk accessories by hand in cool water, using a delicate silk detergent or baby shampoo—without wringing, without soaking for more than a dozen minutes, and without drying on a radiator or in direct sunlight. These five rules are enough to ensure that your silk hair tie, silk eye mask, and silk hair band will last for years without losing their colour or softness.

The water should be lukewarm—around 30 degrees Celsius. Too hot water causes silk fibres to lose elasticity and stiffen after drying. The detergent should be mild and enzyme-free; enzymes in universal powders are designed to break down proteins, and silk is a protein—the consequences are predictable. Classic gentle laundry liquids, gels specifically for silk, or hair shampoo work best.

After washing, do not wring out silk—wrap it in a cotton towel and gently pat it dry by pressing, not twisting. Twisting breaks the fibre structure and leaves marks that do not come out with ironing. Drying should be done flat, in the shade, away from heaters. Direct sunlight causes white items to yellow and colours to fade—in the case of navy paisley, this means a loss of colour depth.

Ironing is not necessary for hair ties and headbands, but if you wish—use an iron on the lowest setting, on the reverse side of the fabric, preferably through a thin cotton cloth. We do not machine wash silk accessories, even on a delicate cycle, do not use a tumble dryer, and do not soak them in bleach or chlorine-based stain removers.
