5 Secrets to Prevent Frizzy Hair & Breakage
secret #1 silk pillowcase
You sleep on it every night...no not your bed….YOUR PILLOWCASE! Your hair spends about 8 hours a night on that (unless you toss and turn)... so 56 hours a week, and around 2,912 hours a year on that pillowcase. Until about 3 months ago I was sleeping on Jon’s grandmother’s hand me down pillowcase we inherited 5 YEARS AGO, and was probably purchased 40 YEARS AGO. I know...right?! So here is your first change!!!
Let me introduce you to the SILK PILLOWCASE
Why?
It reduces friction between your hair and the fabric. This reduces damage done to your hair while sleeping...split ends, frizziness, and breakage. Test it out! TAG “silkpillowsleepchallenge” so I can see your before and afters!
It keeps your skin and hair moisture locked in because the fibers are less absorbent.
Not to mention it’s also naturally hypoallergenic ...aka...it’s properties have a natural resistance to allergens
secret #2 the hair scrunchie
Where are my 80’s ladies at? Heck where are my 2019 gals at? Welcome back your friend the SCRUNCHIE! Even better grab some silk scrunchies!
Why?
Unlike the dreaded elastic, where it ends up pulling, tangling itself in the hair, and sometimes breaking your hair. It’s sister relative “The Scrunchie” is gentler on your hair, won’t leave the dreaded elastic imprint, and you can wear it as a cute wrist accessory. Here’s a list of my favorites and a CODE to grab yourself some

secret #3 wet brush
A brush can literally make or BREAK you hair….So many times I’d dread the after “brush” shower routine. My hair is fine, so it would tangle very easily. Don’t even get me started on the after swimming, or exercising brush. UNTIL I found “WET BRUSH”
Why?
Did you know your hair is weakest when it’s wet? Have you ever been brushing you hair after a shower and it snaps and breaks? Wet Brush provides a gentler alternative to hair brushing. I LOVE MINE! With tons of brush sizes and brittle sizes, there’s a Wet Brush for everyone.
How?
Have you ever given much thought into how you brush? Work from the BOTTOM UP in small motions until you reach the top of you head. Gently working your hair.
Grab your Wet Brush!
secret #4 type of dry towel
After a warm, relaxing, bubble bath, with no interruption from kids, or spouse...candles lite, wine consumed. You hop out into the freezing air and wrap up in a plush towel and dry off, including your hair!! STOP right there! Your hair is not your rockin’ body.
Why?
Your hair once again is at its weakest when it’s wet. Using a cotton t-shirt, or microfiber towel will be gentler on your hair reducing breakage, and frizziness as it dries
Grab an old high school t-shirt you many still have in the closet to use as your designated hair towel, or grab a micro towel.
secret #5 rejuvabeads split-end mender
Please don’t tell me your smothering your hair in coconut oil? PRODUCTS MATTER and more importantly PRODUCT QUALITY MATTER...I started my Healthy Hair Journey after having Kai, and having severe postpartum hair loss (Why no one let me in on that fun gift after child birth?!) . One of these products I discovered in June 2018 was Rejuvabeads Split End Mender. Cue the hallelujah chorus! But really!
Rejuvabeads Split End Mender does EXACTLY what it’s called---Apply a pea size amount to damp ends of hair, and you can literally WATCH it heal your split ends, reducing breakage and frizziness in under 30 seconds.
My hair has grown so much longer since using Rejuvabeads on my ends. The best part it’s: PLANT BASED, VEGAN, LEAPING BUNNY CERTIFIED, NON-TOXIC (basically a mom’s dream). None of those harsh chemicals, or quick fix products that just leave your hair coated in wax.
Rejuvabeads has gained World Notice being a FINALIST in the 2019 Pure Beauty Global Awards, and winning a Stevie Award for Favorite New Product. It is a staple in my weekly hair routine. You HEARD Correctly- only really wash my hair once a week since switching to these products.
