Louise bought The Isla SILKE Hair Wrap as a birthday present to herself, and boy was it a great one.
"A friend posted a link on Facebook that mentioned Silke London hair wraps and I was intrigued. They looked beautiful! Gorgeous jewel-coloured silk turbans (to be honest, the thought of actually "wrapping" my hair was making me nervous, I'm a cack-handed muppet at the best of times), easy to wear, and stunning items in their own right.
The hardest part was choosing which colour I wanted...Eventually I settled on the Isla (pictured), which is green and blue, and bought myself one as a birthday present. It is gorgeously presented in it's tiny colour-co-ordinated box, and folded beautifully, it'd make a perfect gift.
Now, whilst I am cursed with uncontrollable hair, I'm also incredibly lazy, so anything that promises to reduce styling time and leaves you able to wash your hair less, well, I'm IN, so yes. I was champing at the bit slightly when it arrived.
Having used the Silke Hair Wrap for a good few weeks now, I can say that it definitely delivers on most of those promises, actually. It's very easy for me to see that my hair is less frizzy after a few weeks wear, and I have to use less styling product now. Before, I'd be using three pumps of Paul Mitchell Skinny Serum just to get my hair out of the bathroom once it had been washed, and my hair would just drink the stuff, then beg for some styling cream for afters. Now it's just one pump, if that, and no styling cream (unless I'm going to use a heated appliance after), and it's less coarse-feeling in the mornings.
But the major difference I've seen is less breakage, it's amazing. With the house move and everything this year, it's been a while since I've been able to see my hair dresser, and normally if I'd leave it three months between visits, the bottom three inches of my hair would be feeling like straw (the ends of my hair are subtly bleached, I've been having balayage for years now), but this time around, even after so long, my hair was only slightly damaged at the ends, and far less prone to breaking off when I run my fingers through it. I couldn't be happier with the results. "
