She helps women extend the life of their hairstyles.

Springfield Gardens, New York – Sharon Prendergast of The BaSIX and Beyond has been elected as a featured Biz Profile on Business Owners Idea Café, a top-rated small business website, for her unique business story.

Out of thousands of businesses that visit the site fewer than one in ten are selected for a Biz Profile Spotlight. Biz Profile submissions are judged on the quality of the owner’s personal business insights; advice and tips for others starting a business; and distinctive business tales.

Her flagship product a SimpleCASE™ SATIN HAIRCARE PILLOWCASE was launched in 2003 at a local consumer tradeshow and is sold through her website www.satinhaircare.com. The product aids in the revitalization of damaged hair and minimizes frictional Alopecia (al-lo-pee-shah) the abnormal loss of the hair root and hair shaft from the hair follicle. One of the characteristics of cotton pillowcases is its absorbency drawing moisture from the hair. Cotton pillowcases can also be abrasive causing hairs to “catch” and break off a few strands at a time.

Launching her own business has raised challenges for Sharon, who continues to educate consumers about the hair damage phenomena that can occur while you sleep. “In order for hair to be its healthiest, certain elements must be present. Two of those elements are air and moisture.” Made of 100% polyester satin the pillowcase measures 20-inches by 30-inches and is the best woven hair care product available worldwide. A SimpleCASE™ SATIN HAIR CARE PILLOWCASE extends the life of your hairstyle.

Sharon plans for her business to continue to grow by expanding into the personalized luxury gift and gift basket arena during the holiday season. In addition to her premiere satin hair care pillowcase customers can purchase a gift set filled with bath luxuries for the home spa experience and bedtime bliss. The gift sets were carefully developed to offer the benefit of indulgence in aromatherapy with such fragrances as vanilla which has the ability to calm nerves and lift spirits. The honey infused hand and body lotions have a wonderful texture and are lightly scented to leave the skin feeling silky and soft. Honey was chosen because it is natural humectant which means it attracts and retains moisture. The bath salts are a simple and delightful way to add trace minerals to the bathwater to soften the water while gently cleansing the skin. Each gift set is accompanied with a monogrammed SimpleCASE™ SATIN HAIR CARE PILLOWCASE.

The gift sets are ideal for individuals and corporate customers. The luxury satin pillowcases are guaranteed to remain crisp and resilient, yet soft to the touch after repeated washings. The gift sets are elegantly and professionally packaged and promise to be a delightful treat.
