Whenever a new series of Love Island starts we always fear for our bank accounts.

Whether it's the outfits the Islanders are wearing in the villa or Sophie Piper's favourite hair product - it's usually in our baskets before we can say 'yes please'.

And we're happy to say and see that Kaz Kamwi's hair bonnets are getting the same amount on energy during All Stars, as they got during Love Island 2021.

Ever since series seven we’ve been obsessed with Kaz’s bonnet and matching pyjamas and we weren't the only ones as fans called for her to bring out her own line.

“Kaz should start a bonnet line after this. Matching bonnets and pjs. #LoveIsland,” wrote one viewer.

Another tweeted, “I love Kaz and her matching pjs and bonnet so much 😫💕 #LoveIsland”.

Someone else said, “Kaz come home and launch that bonnet line”.

A fourth commented, “Kaz’s bonnet collection is impeccable 🤌🏾 I love to see it #LoveIslandUK”.

One more added, “After this I’m gonna need Kaz to run a hair bonnet line #LoveIsland”.

Unfortunately she didn't bring out her own hair bonnet line but she has been wearing them in the All Stars villa and even Chris Taylor's been wearing them.

Now we can’t take away the fact that Kaz’s bonnet and matching PJs are cute BUT we’re loving that despite being in a villa on TV, that’s broadcasted to millions of people, Kaz is still very much making sure her hair is cared for.

Now if I (a Black woman) went on Love Island my hair care routine is definitely something I’d be worried about but I’m loving that Kaz is rocking her bonnet on TV and isn’t in a rush to take it off the following day.

One Twitter user even said, “I just love how Kaz is so carefree and just rocks the bonnet. Most girls would be scared to take that wig off on National tv boy 😂 #LoveIsland”.

If you’re not familiar with a bonnet it’s a headscarf that Black women wear to keep their hair frizz-free, tangle free, hydrated and healthy – it’s a must-have to be honest.

Because your hair is covered and protected you hair is less like to frizz from rubbing on the pillow and it’s less likely to tangle because it’s safe and secure.

Plus because they’re made from satin material and not cotton, it would absorb the moisture from your hair – meaning your hair will be waaay healthier than if you didn’t protect it over night.

So of course, we’ve had a look at some cute bonnets so you can follow in Kaz’s footsteps…

If you want a jazzy bonnet with animal print or floral print then Amazon have got you covered. There's plenty of patterns to choose from, different sizes and you get two bonnets. One customer has even said, "Absolutely love it! I was skeptical about I purchasing as a few reviews mentioned colouring stains on pillow. So as soon as I received I hand washed with some fairy liquid but I didn't see a drop of colour come out. My daughter and I love our new bonnets and they cut very well and lovely material. Even the black bonnet lays my edges really well!! Great purchase! 5/5".

After leaving the Love Island 2021 villa, Kaz opened up about wearing her bonnet and admitted that after one night in the villa she had to wear it at night.

"There were only two nights that I didn't wear [my bonnet], the first night and the hideaway. After that first night, I was like, 'I'm sorry, there is no way I'm not wearing my wig,' because that morning was a nightmare.

"I just thought, 'It's going to have to be a bonnet.' I think the main thing for me was to start as you mean to go on, and I just felt like I'd be more comfortable putting it on straight away [rather] than, you know, trying to do it two weeks in because then I would have probably been more self-conscious.

"In the villa, the bonnet was not a thing, there were head scarfs, but head scarfs fall off my head, whereas bonnets don't," she said on Who We Be Talkspodcast.
