When it comes to showing appreciation to those who have been there for us all year long, we surely can’t forget about our hair stylists. Go for a bottle of bubbly or a gift card to their favorite coffee shop – foolproof ways to spoil your trusty friend. For a hair-related treat, gift them with your favorite pH Plex kit – great hair stylists go perfectly with great hair care products!
Slipsilk™ Pillowcases, Turbans, and Scrunchies
Speaking of hair care – a holiday gift is the perfect opportunity to pamper your friends with items they wouldn’t get themselves. Slip pillowcases, silk turbans, and silk scrunchies are great examples of that! Simple yet helpful and comfortable, these accessories can help your hair stay in its best condition.
Beyond contributing to a cooler night’s sleep, silk pillowcases help in reducing friction in your hair while you sleep, preventing breakage and setting us up for a great hair day in the morning. If you’re looking for even more protection, silk turbans are the way to go.
For the daytime, silk scrunchies allow you to keep your hair out of your face without causing any damage (and also make great wrist accessories in between uses!).
At the end of the day, the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart – and we’ve created this list with that in mind. For yourself, your best friend, your stylist, or your mom… celebrate love and enjoy the holidays!
