Let it be said: for a good hair day all year round, your hair must be pampered at night. Here are 3 steps to adopt for soft, shiny hair when you wake up.
The importance of an evening hair routine
Just like your skin, your hair needs you to take care of it in the morning, but also in the evening. Preparing your hair before going to sleep is the guarantee of healthier, silkier hair in the morning. Thanks to appropriate brushing, get rid of the impurities accumulated during the day! We also take advantage of the night to give the treatments more time to distill all their benefits.
Brushing your hair with a boar bristle brush: the star ritual of your evening hair routine
Disclaimer: this is not a classic brushing, but a real treatment for your hair before sleeping. The ally of this beauty gesture? A quality brush, like the boar bristle brush from the Prestige Altesse Studio collection. Handcrafted with first-cut bristles and using ancestral techniques, this high-end brush is so exceptional that it is repairable for life.
- Brushing your hair in the evening with a boar bristle brush helps eliminate impurities accumulated throughout the day (pollution, dust, dead cells, etc.).
- Thanks to its fibrous structure, the boar bristle brush grabs the sebum at the roots to distribute it to the ends. The result: deeply nourished, soft and shiny hair, day after day.
- The massaging action of boar bristles gently stimulates blood circulation and oxygenation of the scalp. It thus promotes the circulation of nutrients essential to the proper functioning of hair bulbs. Without forgetting the relaxation that this hair massage provides before joining the arms of Morpheus.

Sleeping with your hair tied up: yes, but not just any way
This is the tip that changes everything, provided it is done well. After brushing your hair with your boar bristle brush, tie it into a bun (top preferably, especially if you sleep on your back). Choose a silk or satin scrunchie, which is more respectful of the hair fiber. Make sure your bun is not too tight, but rather loose to avoid pulling on the scalp.
Tying your hair up to sleep helps protect it from mechanical friction, tangles and perspiration that could damage it throughout the night. Obviously, this advice only applies to dry hair: you absolutely avoid going to bed with damp hair!
Opt for silk pillowcases for beautiful hair when you wake up
Did you know that silk is full of benefits for hair? Thanks to its softness, it avoids unwanted friction, reduces breakage, the appearance of split ends and even
Silk also prevents the appearance of static electricity and frizz. It is therefore a key element in the evening routine for curly and frizzy hair.
