A shower steamer is a small aromatic tablet you use in the shower to stimulate your senses and create a wonderful fragrance experience.

Many of us invest time and money in a good shampoo, a nourishing conditioner or a hair mask. And rightly so, the foundation starts with what you use. But what happens to your hair afterwards gets far less attention. Hair care does not stop after showering. It continues all day during drying, on your pillow and throughout the night. I am Sandie, co-founder of KOALA HUG bed linen and bath textiles. I prefer my hair around shoulder length. Because my schedule tends to be quite full I do not want to spend much time on hair care. But the products I use need to be of good quality. I noticed that hair care is more than just the products you put in it. Good hair care actually works all day and night, both consciously and unconsciously. The most vulnerable moment: wet hair and a towel Wet hair is vulnerable. The hair cuticles are open, the hair fibres are soft and sensitive to damage. And what do we do at exactly that moment? We grab a towel and rub. That feels familiar and satisfying, but rough or synthetic fibres can at that moment do more harm than you realise. It causes frizz, dullness and hair breakage. The solution is not in rubbing differently, but in what you rub with. Towels by KOALA HUG are made from TENCEL™: soft, antibacterial and highly absorbent. They absorb moisture without chafing, gently patting rather than hard rubbing. Your hair retains its fine structure. A small change with visible results. At night: six to eight hours of friction, or rest While you sleep, you move. You turn, slide and shift, and your hair moves with you. All that time it is in contact with your pillowcase. This can add up to hundreds of tiny friction moments per night, resulting in frizzy or greasy tangled hair. KOALA HUG pillowcases in TENCEL™ Sateen have a smooth, almost silky structure. Your hair glides over it rather than against it. Less friction, less damage, and you wake up in the morning with hair that is calmer, shinier and easier to style. Bed linen: the bigger picture A pillowcase is the direct contact point for your hair, but your bed linen as a whole of course also plays a role. KOALA HUG makes 100% TENCEL™ Sateen duvet covers and fitted sheets that are breathable and feel cool. Because they are made entirely from lyocell eucalyptus, there are no synthetic materials or microplastics. It creates a natural, calm sleeping environment so you move less and your hair is exposed to less friction. A detail you only notice once you have experienced it.
