Bye Bye Beadhead!

Now ladies, we all know we should wrap our hair at night – but do we? Every night? We know we don’t! Our intentions are good but not only is the look mildly unattractive (to put it lightly!) sometimes the scarf slips off, we’re too tired, we actually want to look cute at bedtime – the list goes on.

So we were quite excited to come across SilkPerfect Pur – a 100% pure mulberry silk pillowcase.
Most of us know silk or satin is better for our hair but do we know why? Now for the science bit!

Silk is exceptionally smooth on a microscopic level which helps to avoid friction of the hair shaft, leaving the hair looking glossy and smooth from the moment you wake. Silk is made up of strings of amino acid which has the same ph level as your skin. These proteins help to prevent frizzing and split ends. Silk reduces the loss of natural hair oils and moisture by preventing osmosis, leaving its natural shine intact.

We tried the SilkPerfect Pur pillowcase and have to say that it really does work! Our hair was much less frizzy, dry and crazy looking in the morning.

Recent customer surveys by the company found that 79% felt their frizz was improved and 80% saw a reduction in knots and tangles. We agree! As does celebrity fan Alexandra Burke.

The pillowcase we tried – the SilkPerfect Pur – costs £25 for two and at the moment is on offer with buy one get one free!  Post and packaging is £3.50 no matter where in the world you live or how many you buy – a pretty good deal.
