Protect your Hair and Skin while you Sleep

Most women today treat their hair in a manner that will cause some damage. Colour, highlights, chemical perms, bleach, blow drying, curling tongs and straightening irons – all leave their mark. But did you know that one of the most damaging things for you hair could be the cotton pillow you sleep on at night.

Whilst your cotton pillowcase may feel soft, cotton is highly absorbent causing it to draw moisture from your hair and your skin while you sleep. The natural oils found on the scalp are uniformly distributed along the hair shaft with the simple act of brushing, but these oils are then absorbed by the cotton drying it. In addition the weave of the cotton is abrasive tending to grip individual strands causing them to break and the hair to tangle. This is why your hair can look such a mess when you wake in the morning.

The answer to this problem – Satin - or more particularly The Beauty Pillow with its uniquely designed Satin Pillowcase that prevents sleep wrinkles, protects your hair and allows your hair and skin to breathe and retain all its natural moisture while you sleep.

For decades now hair care specialists have been recommending satin pillowcases to protect your hair and your hair style while you sleep. Firstly satin is not absorbent so it allows you hair to breach and retain its natural moisture, and secondly the hair slides over the pillow preventing it from breaking and tangling.

Most medical experts now also recommend satin pillows for patients being treated for cancer and hepatitis C, where the treatment tends to cause frictional Alopecia (al-lo-pee-shah) the abnormal loss of the hair root and hair shaft from the hair follicle caused by the hair rubbing against the abrasive cotton and causing heat damaging the hair cuticles with heat.

Sleeping on a satin pillow helps prevent the cuticle heating up during the night as the head moves around and puts pressure on the hair because the head and hair flows over the satin. It is also better for your skin in helping to prevent facial creases caused by the face laying in the same position for an extended time.

The Beauty Pillow was developed following a year of testing of various designs to ensure maximum slide of the head and hair over the pillow. It’s unique construction ensure that your head slides much more easily than just using a plain satin pillowcase as you move during the night preventing damage to your hair and wrinkles on your face.

We also wanted a product that was easy to travel with. The Beauty Pillow is just 50 cm by 30 cm and simply sits on top of your cotton pillow, so if you are in a hotel, staying with friends or even in hospital, you can benefit from the pillow. Being small it easily packs in an overnight case, so you can use it while travelling on a train or plane in place of or in addition to the travel pillow provided.
