From My Struggle As A Mom To A Silk Solution For All Ages


I never set out to start a business. I was just a mom trying to help my kids.

All three of my babies were born with full heads of beautiful hair. But within months, their hair started falling out. On top of that, they struggled with severe eczema and allergies. It felt like an endless cycle of trying different products, fabrics, and remedies—only to be disappointed when nothing worked.


When I started looking for 100% mulberry silk headbands and accessories designed for kids, I was shocked at how few options existed. Everything I found was either blended with other fabrics, not made for children, or simply unavailable. I wanted something soft, natural, and protective that wouldn’t irritate their sensitive skin or contribute to more hair loss.

So, I decided to make my own.

 

 

At first, it was just for my kids. I sewed silk headbands and cut up silk fabric to line their cribs, hoping to protect their hair and soothe their skin. But as I shared my creations, I realized I wasn’t alone—other moms were struggling with the same issues. Friends and family started asking for them, and before I knew it, what started as a personal solution became something much bigger.

 

That’s how Omosilk was born—not as a business idea, but as a way to fill a real need.


And while it started with kids, I quickly learned that healthy hair and skin care doesn’t stop at childhood—it’s a lifelong journey.

 

 

Today, Omosilk has grown into a brand that serves people at every stage of life. From newborns with delicate skin to adults looking to prevent hair breakage, all the way to seniors who deserve comfort and luxury, our silk products are designed to protect, nurture, and restore. Because no matter your age, your hair and skin deserve the best.


I started this brand with love for my children, and now, it’s grown into something that can help many more people. Whether you’re looking for the perfect silk accessory for your little one, yourself, or even a loved one later in life—Omosilk is here for you.

 

With love,
