​
Why are some bonnets more expensive than others?
We work to keep our bonnet prices as competitive as possible. We take into account the fabric used and time spent to create the bonnets. African print fabric is quite beautiful and often is more expensive than satin. The prices are reflective of that.

​
Will you do custom newborn bonnets?
Babies are cute and are still growing. While we do love to work with everyone, we feel that babies are still gaining mastery of their head movements and wearing a bonnet to sleep can be dangerous for them. As such, our bonnet sizes start at the toddler size.
​
Do you offer custom sizes?
We do offer custom sizes. Please send us an email prior to placing an order for a custom size.
​
What if the bonnet I received is too tight?
Our bonnets are designed to be snug. Why? All elastic items lose their elasticity over time. To ensure you get long term use of your bonnet, they are made snug. If you feel you need just an extra inch or want to loosen it slightly, you can put the bonnet around a size appropriate object (such as a rolled up pillow or mannequin head) for a day. We encourage you to only do this carefully because you do not want to loosen the bonnet beyond reasonable use. A snug but comfortable fit stays on all night.
​
Does wearing a bonnet rub against the sides of your hair?
We understand that part of wearing a bonnet is to keep your hair moisturized and prevent it from rubbing against harsh fabrics. The inside of our sleep bonnet are satin which means that your entire hair stays protected. In addition, it provides a soft layer between your printed fabric and your skin.
​
About tags
We don't have tags on our bonnets to ensure 100% comfort. Our bonnets will arrive with a pinned tag. Please remove the pin prior to wearing your bonnet.
