Adopting the right hair care routine before bedtime will increase your chances of having a good hair day the next morning. Here are our 3 expert tips to wake up to soft, shiny hair every day.
The importance of a nighttime hair routine
Just like your skin, your hair can also benefit from having a morning and night routine. Taking care of your hair before bed will help keep it healthy and silky. Brushing your hair at night removes all the impurities accumulated during the day. Overnight care products and treatments are also a great way of effortlessly achieving healthy hair while you sleep!
Brushing your hair with a boar bristle brush: the star ritual of your nightly hair routine
Using a boar bristle hairbrush will elevate hair brushing to a nourishing treatment for your hair before bedtime. For this beauty routine to work effectively, the brush needs to be of a very high quality, like this boar bristle brush from Altesse Studio’s Prestige collection. Handcrafted using traditional techniques and the premium root end of the boar hair, this luxury brush is so good that it comes with a lifetime warranty!
- Brushing your hair before bed removes the impurities (dust, pollen, pollution, etc.) that accumulate throughout the day.
- The special fibrous composition of boar hair helps the brush to distribute the natural oil secretions of the scalp from the roots to the tips, making your hair shinier, softer and more nourished over time.
- The massaging action of the brush promotes blood circulation in your scalp, which gently but steadily helps to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles and keeps your roots healthy. The bonus? A relaxing head massage that will help you sleep like a baby!

The Altesse Studio pro-tip: For high-performance results, try adding in the 100-stroke brush technique to your hair care routine twice a day – once before going to bed and once in the morning. This will give your hair more hold and shine! |
How to tie your hair before going to bed
Knowing the proper way to tie your hair before going to bed can be a game-changer. After you have finished brushing your hair with a boar bristle brush, tie it up in a high bun—this is especially important if you sleep on your back—using a silk or satin scrunchie to avoid unnecessary friction. Make sure that your bun is tied pretty loose so it doesn’t pull at your scalp.
Tying up your hair like this will prevent knots, tangling, friction, and sweat-induced damage. Remember that you should never go to sleep with wet hair, so make sure your hair is completely dry before tying it up!
Invest in a silk pillowcase to wake up with gorgeous hair
Did you know that silk is very good for your hair? The incredible softness of this fabric means that it reduces friction and breakage, even helping to prevent split ends and hair loss. Silk offers your hair a protective barrier against dehydration. And because it’s not very absorbent, this 100% natural bedding option also allows your hair to retain its natural oils, leaving your locks protected and nourished.

Did you know: Silk also has anti-static properties which help prevent frizz. This is why it is especially useful for curly or frizzy hair types to use silk accessories in their nighttime routine. |
