Learn the warning signs before it’s too late to save your strands.

In this guide, we’re breaking down what the hair cuticle actually is, what causes it to become damaged, and the key signs that your strands are crying out for help. Most importantly, we’ll cover how to start reversing that damage with smarter habits and products — including Silkie’s silk-powered haircare essentials that help protect and restore your cuticle health from the outside in.
