“I am passionate about creating a product that helps women reclaim their time and make everyday a great hair day. Infusing great colors and prints into hair products, for her day and nightly hair routine, that extends the life of her hairstyle between wash days.”
-Alisha Michelle
“The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.”
“For me, hair is an accoutrement. Hair is jewelry. It’s an accessory.”
After more than ten years in business, we are evolving.
Because if you don’t evolve in life, you are dead — and we believe growth is a form of care.
NPTressTreats began as a solution for busy women who wanted their hair to be protected, styled, and effortless — even while they slept. What started as luxury satin hair care designed to save time and help women sleep cute has grown into something deeper.
Today, NPTressTreats stands for Nourish + Protect — a philosophy rooted in intention, preservation, and ease.
NPTressTreats was founded in 2016 by Alisha Michelle for women with full lives who needed hair care that worked with them, not against them. The goal was simple: create a nightly hair routine that saved time, extended styles between wash days, and made women feel good — even in rest.
From satin bonnets to accessories designed for day and night, the focus has always been on making hair care easier, quicker, and more enjoyable.
“I am passionate about creating products that help women reclaim their time and make everyday a great hair day. Infusing beautiful colors and prints into hair products for both day and night routines that extend the life of hairstyles between wash days.”
— Alisha Michelle
As we grew, so did our understanding of hair care.
We learned that true luxury isn’t just about appearance — it’s about how something supports your life. It’s about prevention, protection, and gentle consistency. It’s about caring for your hair in the moments no one sees.
That’s when NPTressTreats evolved into Nourish + Protect.
Nourish what grows — moisture, softness, strength.
Protect what matters — your hair, your time, your peace.
Originally known as No Preservatives Tress Treats, and commonly referred to as NPTressTreats (pronounced In-Pee-Tress-Treats), our name has always reflected care and intention. Some lovingly call us NP Tresses — and that’s okay too.
No matter what you call us, our purpose remains the same:
to provide satin hair care essentials that protect your hair, simplify your routine, and support you through every season of life.
NPTressTreats is now a brand rooted in quiet luxury, intentional care, and everyday ease. We design products that nourish and protect your hair while you live, rest, and rise — beautifully and effortlessly.
This is not a restart.
It’s a refinement.
Welcome to the next chapter of NPTressTreats.
Nourish + Protect.
I specialize in creating cute and fun satin hair products. NPTressTreats wants customers to go to bed cute and in style (aka sleep cute) and wake up fabulous. You can sleep with a bonnet and be cute too. NPTressTreats is all about cute hair protection.
I wanted to create cute, fun, affordable, high quality, satin hair care accessories to protect your hair while sleeping. I, Alisha (the owner, operator and user), grew up sleeping with old panties on my head to protect my hairstyle. As a child, especially a little black girl, getting my hair combed was a task. So I would get it done once a week and it had to stay nice all week!! To do this, my mom told her to wrap her head in old pair of panties. LOL. Well today I create cute, affordable satin hair care products to protect my hair while sleeping and passed those to my mom who now also goes to bed in style!!
It all started on Saturday mornings in 2015 when I began taking sewing lessons from my great aunt. I really asked her to teach me to sew so I could spend time with her, the sewing lessons were an added plus. She started by showing me the basics, “this is a sewing machine”, “this is how you thread a needle”, you know the basics. As I visited her more, I learned how to use a sewing machine, a serger, and how to read patterns. At first, I wanted to learn how to sew hair wraps because I hated combing my hair, so I always threw on a hair wrap. After mastering the wrap, my aunt said, “let’s make a bonnet” and I thought to myself “why?” But of course, I learned. I began practicing sewing and patternmaking at home. I made a ton of different bonnets, from several self-made patterns. After about three lessons, I invested in my own sewing machine and serger. Once I perfected my bonnets, I slowly incorporated pillowcases, scrunchies, and satin-lined shower caps, all with self-made patterns. It was all trial and error, but I got it. I had no idea what would begin as spending time sewing with my aunt on the weekends would turn into a business that allows me to have fun and use some creativity behind a sewing machine.
The name, NPTressTreats, was designed with real women in mind, hence #nopreservatives. Real women aren't hair models and know the struggle of getting and maintaining healthy hair. Real women know the struggle of trying to maintain hairstyles for a week. My goal was to create a product line that real women could use on their healthy hair journey to help them maintain hairstyles, healthy hair, prevent breakage, and avoid frizz. Additionally, real women know the struggle of time management and how much time is spent on doing your hair and little girls hair. If I can help you save time by spending less time on hairstyles I’ve succeeded!! Plus real women want to feel cute. So cute bedtime hair protection is what I do
