E!: What makes Commence stand out from other hair care brands?
BK: We formulated it specifically for women over 40, which sets it apart in them market from the get-go. As we age, our pores shrink, the scalp gets drier, and the hair gets more wiry and brittle.
Our products are designed to address those issues! As well as being plant-based, colour-safe, and full of nutrients to feed your hair from root to tip.
More from Brooke: "The shampoo is so nourishing and does not strip your scalp, leaving your hair feeling super clean without dryness. The conditioner hydrates each strand and will not weigh your hair down. The detangler is perfect for smoothing between washes and is also a heat protectant. The root serum is like food for your scalp — the best thing for healthy hair is a healthy root!"
This set includes:
- Commence Shine-Enhancing Detangler
- Commence Detoxifying Shampoo
- Commence Probiotic Smoothing Conditioner
- Commence Root Serum

E!: What’s your favorite part of celebrating Mother’s Day? Do you have any family traditions?
BS: Brunch at Pastis in New York City. It's always the highlight of the day!
E!: Now that your kids are young adults, how has your perspective on Mother’s Day evolved?
BS:We have to get very creative to make sure we have time together! But now that they are older, we are actually able to share experiences, which is a real gift.
E!: What’s the best mom hack you’ve discovered so far?
BS: A friend shared this with me when my kids were small: the Halloween fairy! When the kids come back with all their candy, you let them choose 10-15 pieces and the rest have to go at the end of their bed.
Overnight, the Halloween Fairy comes and swaps the rest of the candy for a toy. They get a toy and the parents get a stash of candy! Win-win!
