We all love to (and need to) brace ourselves against the winter elements with our beloved, warm wool hats and scarves. But did you know that they are actually known for causing breakage and static hair? Fitted hats can trap oils at the roots, leaving the ends dry and prone to damage.
Instead, wrap your hair in a silk scarf before putting on your favourite cosy hat. It will protect your hair from frizz and static, and reduce that dreaded ‘hat hair’.
Since silk is naturally hypoallergenic, it is known to prevent knotted hair and split ends by encouraging hydration. While cotton and wool may feel soft to the touch, its weave actually grips and tugs at individual strands, causing damage and breakage. That’s why we have seen an increased number of hair experts recommend sleeping on a silk pillowcase at night.
We also suggest introducing a nourishing treatment to help boost hair hydration while you sleep or straight after styling to seal ends and lock in moisture.
