Ask Jeffrey – The secret to silky-smooth hair is silk

“Jeffrey, how in the world do movie stars have such beautiful, smooth hair?” – Monica H.

Monica, thank you for your question! One of the most important answers to that question is that they treat their hair right. What do I mean by that? Well, if you’ve watched any of my other beauty tip videos or read the blogs, then you know that friction is the number one enemy of beautiful hair. Friction causes breakage, frizz and knotting – three things you’ll never see in a hair commercial.

I’ve already addressed collar friction, but the majority of friction actually happens while you are sleeping! In the video above I explain that the friction caused by laying your head on a pillow is something that can be avoided by simply using a silk satin pillowcase – yes the secret to silky hair is a silky pillow!

Here are some quick steps to take to ensure that your hair is protected and beautiful when you wake up in the morning:

1. Spritz spray conditioner gently all around your head

2.  Use a wet brush to gently comb through your hair, making sure that the conditioner is equally distributed throughout the hair.

3. Sleep on a silk satin pillowcase

Remember… beauty begins within

What’s the Big Deal? It’s Only Hair, right?

Hair Loss

Hair loss can be devastating, in fact, one-in-four women will experience some form of hair thinning or hair loss during their lifetime. Whether it’s a result of genetics, health issues, medication, stress or other factors, the impact of hair loss is significant to a sense of self.

Why? Because hair is attached to more than the follicles in the scalp. It is attached to emotions, personality, confidence and the way you feel about yourself and how you interact with the world. It is the “crowning glory” to that individual look you call your own.

If you are experiencing the early stages of age-related hair thinning and loss, there are several options you can consider that will help divert attention away from the issue.
