Firstly, who is Dagsmejan?
Dagsmejan is a brand that sells a unique range of nightwear designed to help you gain optimum comfort while sleeping. Dagsmejan believe that sleep is one of the most powerful tools for a better tomorrow - which is absolutely true! The brand has instilled that belief into creating pyjamas that not only offer optimum comfort, but also support our health.
Dagsmejan pyjamas are designed with soft materials that aid our sleep in different ways. For example:
- Temperature: the brand has designed pyjamas that release excess heat so you are never too hot or too cold.
- Beat the night sweats: the pyjamas are powered by dual moisture management - evaporative cooling to cool you down and moisture wicking to keep you dry.
- Optimum comfort levels: with comfort waistbands, gussets and cuffs, nothing will ride up, cut in or disturb your sleep.
- Lightweight softness: Dagsmejan pyjamas are twice as soft as cotton, providing that luxurious feel against your skin.
Is Dagsmejan a sustainable brand?
Yes, Dagsmejan is a sustainable brand because it uses super-fine natural fibres that require up to 20x less water than cotton. The full production, from spinning the yarn to the final garment making, is 100% made in Europe. Dagsmejan works with independent certifications to ensure the highest standards are being met. These certifications include Oekotex 100, NATIVA and STeP (Made in Green). Dagsmejan is all about helping you sleep better in pyjamas made naturally, sustainably, and ethically.
The brand also supports local communities through work integration programs.
Let me tell you about the Dagsmejan Stay Cool Pyjamas:
The Dagsmejan Stay Cool pyjamas are from the Stay Cool collection and are made with NATTCOOL™ technology.
Wait, what is NATTCOOL™ technology?
NATTCOOL™ fabric has been developed to offer us the full comfort experience when sleeping. The technology that goes into the fabric offers breathability with a dual moisture management approach. This results in cooler, lightweight pyjamas. The pyjama fabric is made from Microlyocell, a high-tech fibre made from eucalyptus and other cellulosic fibres. This kind of fibre is not only softer than silk, but its environmentally friendly and sustainable.
NATTCOOL™ is 8x more breathable than cotton, as millions of nano capillaries lead excess heat away from the skin while you sleep. If you start to sweat while sleeping, i.e. night sweats, the sweat is absorbed in the core of the fibres, cooling you down through evaporative cooling. So if you experience night sweats for whatever reason, wearing NATTCOOL™ technology-based pyjamas allows you to never feel damp in your pyjamas.
Allow me to get back to telling you about the Dagsmejan NATTCOOL pyjamas:
These Dagsmejan NATTCOOL pyjamas have flat, ergonomic, front-based seams for minimum friction at night. This really adds to the already booming comfortability factor. One thing I absolutely love about these pyjamas is that they are tagless. No itchy tags to cut out after they've made your skin itchy! All care and washing instructions are printed within the pyjamas. I can't be certain whether this washes off after numerous rounds in the washing machine, but all washing details are on Dagsmejan's website in case that does occur.
The set I am wearing in the colour 'Frosted Sage' comes in different colours, including:
- Wild Rose
- Midnight Bloom
- Navy Blue
- Anniversary
- Classic Stripes
These pyjamas are designed to be loose-fitting. Even though they are loose-fitting, they don't look baggy or loose while wearing. *The top feels airy enough to keep me cool at night, but there's no extra material getting in the way, which is fantastic for sleeping.
In terms of sizing, I am wearing a size Medium, equivalent to a UK size of 10-12. I am also 5'4 in height, and *the bottoms (which are wide-leg) don't drag across the floor. There's a size guide on each product page if you're unsure of what size to go for. But from my personal perspective, these fit really nicely.
Let me tell you more about the brand as a whole:
Quality
The quality is absolutely fantastic! The material is the softest I have ever worn, and it makes for the perfect night's sleep. There's no better feeling than going to sleep wearing these pyjamas. Dagsmejan have really taken quality and comfort into consideration when producing their nightwear. I seriously have no complaints about their quality!
Pricing
The Dagsmejan price range is between £50 and £180. It obviously depends on what you buy.
Sustainability credentials
As I've already mentioned, Dagsmejan hit all the right notes when it comes to practising sustainable and ethical practices in their production line. I love that their products are made from natural fibres; barely any synthetic materials are involved!
Washing
Washing and care instructions depend on the item/items you buy. Each specific washing instruction for each individual range is on Dagsmejan's website.
For the Stay Cool range, you need to:
- Wash at a maximum of 40 °C and use a laundry bag to prevent snagging from zippers, etc in the machine.
- Avoid fabric softener and do not bleach.
- Do not put them in the tumble dryer; let them dry horizontally.
- Iron on a medium temperature.
- Do not dry clean.
- Not necessary to wash them after every wear.
Delivery & Returns
Dagsmejan deliver worldwide. Shipping prices depend on the country you're ordering from. The brand offers free shipping on orders over £150. All products are shipped from their warehouse in Germany. For orders under £150, shipping costs:
- £15.90 to the UK.
- £9.90 to the US, Canada and other European countries.
- £19.90 to the rest of the world.
Regarding returns, you need to initiate a return within 14 days of receiving the items/items. Just send it back for a full refund. Returns must be sent within 7 days of receiving the return label. Refunds are processed within 3-5 days of the item being returned.
To sum up, I think that Dagsmejan...
...is an absolutely wonderful pyjama brand! The pyjamas are so lightweight and so soft against my skin. The material is cooling, comfortable and has that gorgeous luxurious feel. They make me feel cool at night, and it's been heaven wearing them to bed at night.
I love everything the brand stands for in terms of sustainability; their production from start to finish is incredibly eco-friendly, and you can see how much thought the brand's owners have put into their finished products and taken our comfort and sleep quality into consideration. They've really put our comfort first and created pyjamas that will last a very long time.
I never thought pyjamas could be infused with technology, especially technology that keeps us cool during the night, especially if the body responds adversely to fluctuating temperatures. These pyjamas have been keeping me cool on those mildly warm nights - I can even sleep under the covers with these pyjamas without getting hot!
The cut and design of not just these pyjamas, but all of them, is amazing, and they are perfect for all year round.
If you're looking for pyjamas with the 'it' factor, Dagsmejan pyjamas are for you.

[AD] Choosing the right hairdresser in 2026 depends on matching a stylist's skills to your specific hair type, whether straight, wavy, curly or coily. Texture, porosity, density and condition all affect which cuts, colours and products work. The UK hairdressing market includes budget chains, independent salons and texture specialists, with training levels varying widely since there is no single mandatory licensing system.
.jpg "How-to-Find-the-Right-Hairdresser-for-Your-Hair-Type-in-2026-LucyMary")
Qualifications, consultations and pricing all signal fit. In this guide, we'll break down how to identify your hair type, search for the right specialist, check credentials, use consultations effectively, and understand UK pricing in 2026.
To start with, you need to:
- Identify your hair type first: texture, porosity, density and condition guide every other decision.
- Search with specific terms like "curly hair specialist" instead of generic location searches, and check stylist profiles on booking platforms such as Booksy Biz for listed specialisms.
- Verify NVQ level, HABIA accreditation and any texture-specific certification before booking.
- Use the consultation to test fit, then compare pricing against UK market tiers before committing.

Know Your Hair Type First
Hair type sets the foundation for every other decision. Stylists classify hair using texture (straight, wavy, curly or coily), porosity, density and condition. The Andre Walker system labels texture from Type 1 to Type 4, with curl subtypes A, B and C.
Porosity describes how hair absorbs moisture and colour. Density measures strands per square inch, separate from strand thickness. Many UK salons now run their bookings through hair salon management software and booking systems such as Booksy Biz, which lets stylists list specialisms and services on their profile. Checking a stylist's listed services before booking helps confirm they actually work with your hair type.
Search Smarter Than "Hairdresser Near Me"
A generic location search returns every salon nearby, regardless of skill with your specific hair type. Curly, coily and Afro hair need a different search approach than straight or wavy hair, since fewer stylists train specifically in these textures. Start by searching for the texture itself alongside your city, rather than the word "hairdresser" alone.
Specialist directories now let clients filter stylists by curl pattern and service type instead of relying on generic star ratings. Reviews mentioning your exact hair type carry more weight than an overall rating, since a five-star review from someone with straight hair says little about curl or coil expertise.
Ways to search with more precision:
- Search "[hair type] specialist" plus your city, not just "hairdresser near me".
- Filter directories by curl pattern, texture or specific service.
- Read reviews for mentions of your hair type, not overall scores.
- Ask friends or family with similar hair type for direct recommendations.
- Check salon websites for named stylists with texture-specific training.
Check Credentials Before You Book
A location search or directory filter narrows the list, but credentials confirm actual skill. UK hairdressers typically hold a Level 2 or Level 3 NVQ or Diploma for Hair Professional, gained over 12 to 24 months of training. Level 2 covers basic cutting, colouring and styling. Level 3 adds advanced techniques such as corrective colour and specialist treatments.
HABIA accreditation, from the Hair and Beauty Industry Authority, signals that a salon meets set standards for hygiene, safety and staff training. Texture-specific certifications, such as training in the Curly Girl Method, add further proof of relevant experience. Ask directly rather than assuming a salon website lists everything.
Questions worth asking before booking:
- What NVQ or Diploma level have you completed?
- Does the salon hold HABIA accreditation? Do you hold any texture-specific or colour-specific certification?
- How many years have you worked with my specific hair type?
- Can you show before-and-after photos of similar hair?
Use the Consultation as a Test
Credentials confirm training, but a consultation shows how a stylist applies it to your hair. Treat the first meeting as a screening step rather than the start of a service. A good stylist asks about your hair history, examines porosity and condition, and explains a plan before touching scissors or colour.
A rushed consultation, or one skipped entirely, often signals a rushed service to follow. Video consultations now let clients discuss complex colour work before booking, so cost and approach get confirmed in advance.
Signs of a consultation worth trusting:
- Stylist examines your hair before suggesting a plan.
- Product suitability gets discussed for your porosity and condition.
- Portfolio photos match your hair type, not a different texture.
- Pricing gets confirmed before the service starts.
Know What You Should Pay
A consultation confirms fit, but price still needs checking against the UK market before booking. Budget chains charge £15 to £25 for a cut and £35 to £50 for colour, prioritising speed over specialist attention. Mid-range independent salons charge £35 to £60 for a cut and £70 to £120 for colour, often giving better results without premium pricing.

Premium salons charge £65 to £150 for a cut and £150 to £350 or more for colour work, reflecting experienced stylists and bespoke consultations. London prices sit well above the UK average across every tier. Texture specialists and complex colour correction usually cost more than a standard service, since the work takes longer and demands more skill. Students and apprentices offer discounted rates under supervision, giving a lower-cost way to test a salon before committing to a full price stylist.
Conclusion
Finding the right hairdresser for your hair type in 2026 comes down to a clear sequence. Identify your texture, porosity, density and condition. Search with specific terms rather than a generic location query. Check qualifications and accreditation before booking.
Treat the consultation as a test of skill and communication. Compare pricing against UK market tiers before committing. Following these steps in order reduces the chance of a mismatched stylist. The next practical step is simple: book a consultation, not a full service, and judge the fit first.
FAQ
How do I know my hair type before booking a hairdresser?
Hair type combines texture, porosity, density and condition. Texture ranges from straight to wavy, curly and coily, often classified using the Andre Walker system from Type 1 to Type 4. Porosity describes how well hair absorbs moisture, while density measures strands per square inch. A trichologist consultation gives a formal diagnosis if self-assessment feels unclear.
What qualifications should a UK hairdresser have?
Most UK hairdressers hold a Level 2 or Level 3 NVQ or Diploma for Hair Professional, completed over 12 to 24 months. Level 2 covers basic cutting, colouring and styling. Level 3 adds advanced techniques such as corrective colour. No single mandatory licence exists in the UK, so asking directly about qualification level remains the most reliable check.
What is HABIA accreditation and why does it matter for choosing a salon?
HABIA stands for the Hair and Beauty Industry Authority. Accreditation shows a salon meets recognised standards for hygiene, client safety and staff training. Not every skilled salon holds it, but its presence signals a baseline level of professionalism worth checking before booking.
How do I find a specialist for curly, coily or Afro hair in the UK?
Search using the specific texture alongside your city, such as "curly hair specialist Manchester," rather than a generic hairdresser search. Specialist directories let clients filter stylists by curl pattern and service type. Dedicated texture salons and named in-salon specialists, some trained in methods such as the Curly Girl Method, offer more reliable results than general listings.
What should happen during a hairdresser consultation?
A proper consultation includes questions about hair history, an examination of porosity and condition, and a clear plan explained before any cutting or colouring starts. Product suitability for the client's specific hair type gets discussed. A skipped or rushed consultation often signals a rushed service to follow.
How much does a haircut or colour cost in the UK in 2026?
Budget chains charge £15 to £25 for a cut and £35 to £50 for colour. Mid-range independent salons charge £35 to £60 for a cut and £70 to £120 for colour. Premium salons charge £65 to £150 for a cut and £150 to £350 or more for colour, reflecting greater stylist experience and bespoke consultations.
