Could I still use a bonnet even if I’m white/have straight hair? I just want one to wear to bed for sensory purposes.

But I've to sleep with these oils and concoctions on my head or resting my head against the sofa.. So it would destroy my sheets, pillow cases, wit oils etc, so they suggested a silk or satin bonnet.. I could have gotten pillowslips, but I'd be washing them daily.
I near thought of it being a colour, ethnicity or cultural thing. I most definitely don't want anyone to think I'm racist, as there isn't a racist bone in my body..
I've long irish wild hair, would tangle just for the craic (fun) the minute it rains, mists (I live in ireland) or possibly thinks about raining, my hair frizzs up, like I've been electrocuted 😂 all my life, my mum plaited my hair going to bed, she used to use the belt, from a saten dressing gown & braid it through.. I've kept this up, until recently.. I've quite a few medical issues and preparing for a long surgery. I've lost alot of my hair.. My medical team told me about using oils and creams, (have eczema at the back of my head now 😂 like I didn't have enough going on)
I hope by me wearing a scarf (when it's cold) or using a bonnet is not insulting to anyone. Not my intention. When it was suggested to me, my first thought was, wow, that will be handy & saves me washing my sheets and stuff, from me being a oil slick…but smells good..
I genuinely don't see colour.. I was raised right.. As my Dad god rest him, used to say, “darling you're better than no one & no one is better than you. Those you meet on the way up, you'll meet on the way down”
I hope no-one has found my answer offensive, not my intention at all
The dermatology, & immunologist told me using rosemary oil, as well as some other potions will help with my scalp & skin soreness & eventually hopefully my hair coming back in.
