Your hairbrush might be doing more harm than good—here’s how to know when it’s time to toss it.

We get it—your hairbrush is your daily go-to. But like any beauty tool, it doesn’t last forever. In fact, an old or worn-out hairbrush could be sabotaging your hair health without you even realizing it.

At Silkie, we believe in the power of mindful hair care—and yes, that includes knowing when it’s time to part ways with your brush.

Here’s how to know when your hairbrush needs to be replaced—and why your hair will thank you.

Why this small change might be the upgrade your sleep routine desperately needs

You’ve probably heard that silk pillowcases are good for your hair and skin—but what if we told you that they could also significantly improve how well you sleep? At Silkie, we believe in the power of thoughtful details, and your pillowcase might just be one of the most overlooked game-changers in your nightly routine.

How Often Should You Really Trim Your Hair?

The Truth About Timing, Split Ends & Healthier Length

You’ve probably heard it before: “Trim your hair every 6 to 8 weeks.”
But does everyone really need to stick to that rule?

Short answer: not always.

The idea that your hair needs a rigid, recurring cut isn’t one-size-fits-all. How often you trim should depend on your hair goals, texture, and how you care for your strands between salon visits. And here’s the kicker — the wrong trimming schedule could actually be holding you back from the length or look you want.

At Silkie, we believe haircare should feel intentional, not obligatory. So let’s break down how often you really need to trim your hair — and how to keep it healthy in between.

Hair-Friendly Destinations: Where Climate Loves Your Strands

Let’s be real: some places just get your hair.

You step off the plane, and your strands are bouncy, soft, and suddenly behaving like they’ve been styled by a pro. Other times? One whiff of humidity or bone-dry air and you’re tangled, frizzy, and fighting an uphill battle with static.

Here’s the thing — climate plays a massive role in your hair health. Everything from humidity levels to UV exposure and even the minerals in local water can impact your scalp and strands. So if you’ve ever wondered why your hair looks amazing in one place and frustratingly wild in another, you’re not imagining things.

At Silkie, we believe good hair days don’t have to be a mystery — especially when you know which destinations are actually kind to your locks. Consider this your go-to travel list for hair-friendly destinations, plus how to protect your strands wherever your passport takes you.

Supporting Local Brands for Sustainable Hair Products

Why Your Hair (and the Planet) Deserves Better Choices

Let’s be honest: sustainable beauty isn’t just a trend. It’s a wake-up call.

And when it comes to your hair, it matters more than you think.

Every shampoo bottle, plastic pump, and one-use mask adds up — in your routine, in your bathroom, and ultimately, in the environment. But there’s good news: switching to sustainable haircare doesn’t mean sacrificing results. In fact, it often means upgrading to brands that care just as much about your hair as they do the planet.

And one of the smartest moves you can make? Supporting local brands.

At Silkie, we believe sustainability starts small — with conscious habits, quality ingredients, and community-focused businesses. Here's why turning to local makers for your haircare needs is a choice that benefits everyone.
