Maintaining soft, shiny hair isn’t easy when you’re tossing and turning, and your locks are rubbing against a pillowcase that can cause friction and lead to breakage. Enter: A deliciously soft satin pillowcase.

They are perfect for anyone who’s looking to ensure their hair is well looked after while they're off in dreamland, and it’s not just their hair that’ll thank them for it – a silk pillowcase also has the added benefit of being soft and gentle on the skin, and they look stunningly chic on the bed.

If your favourite part of a trip to the hairdresser is the amazing head massage you get at the basin, then this is the perfect gift. A scalp massager (sometimes called a shampoo brush) is the addition you need in your haircare routine, no matter the hair type. Using it prior to your hair wash, can help improve blood flow to the scalp, promote hair growth and relieve stress – what’s not to love about any of those, right?

Using it gently during your hair wash can help to exfoliate, remove product build up and really put your shampoo to work, giving you a luxurious experience in your very own home.

Add these to your cart immediately – whoever you’re giving this too will thank you for it! 

Slip Silk Scrunchies, $32

Silk scrunchies are as functional as they are cute – sleek, stylish, and really good for your hair. While a regular hair elastic can catch, causing breakage and kinking in your hair, silk scrunchies reduce friction, minimise split ends, and help maintain your hair's health.

Whether you're keeping your hair out of your face during your skincare routine or preserving your hairstyle at the gym, these are perfect for every occasion.

This pack from Slip even comes as an adorable Christmas ornament, making it festive and perfect for Secret Santa!

Kitsch Heatless Curling Set, $20

You’ve probably seen these everywhere by now, and there’s one very simple reason for that: they’re brilliant! You can give the gift of healthy styled hair (and hilarious selfies) with a heatless curl kit. 

Complete with a satin-coated foam rod and scrunchies to make waves and curls easy to achieve, this will help give the hot tools a rest and help create stunning styles (without the heat damage). 

The kit is simple and easy to use, and deceptively comfy to sleep in thanks to the soft foam design, all you need to do is wrap your hair around the rod, secure with the scrunchies, and let time to do all the work.
