So lately, I've been battling knotts, and as part of my quests for silkier hair I have finally decided I really need to switch away from moisture-absorbing cotton sheets.  I was just researching silk vs. satin sheets, and I don't like what I am hearing.  Silk is too expensive, and hard to clean, and satin is too slippery and apparently they are both hot (and my hubby is a very warm sleeper)  so now I am back to the drawing board!  ACK!  Also, people have suggested that I get just a silk or satin pilow case and leave my cotton sheets, but my hair is so long it doesn't just touch my pillowcase when I sleep, so I really need the cases AND sheets.  Does anyone know exactly what sorts of cotton suck up moisture?  I was thinking about sateen sheets, but that's still made from cotton.  I am wondering if there is a type of cotton sheet that isn't as prone to absorbing moisture.  Any ideas?

My sheets don't get crunchy, I forgot to mention I put them in the dryer for like 10 minutes and then hang dry the rest of the way.  Haven't had them stain.  They do get wet if you're sweating a lot, but they dry fast so if you move or get up for a minute they're not so bad.

I haven't tried the bamboo, but I am intrigued.  Next time I might try out some bamboo pillow cases to see how soft they are.  If I don't like them, hubby will use them.
