Repeated coloring, straightening, over-aggressive products, sun, or stress... Put a stop to the factors that dry out and break your hair fiber! To combat brittle hair, opt for gentle, natural solutions to restore suppleness and strength.
Say goodbye to dry, brittle hair with the boar bristle brush
This is THE natural treatment for restoring supple, hydrated hair. How? Thanks to its fibrous structure, boar hair has the power to attract sebum at the root and then distribute it along the entire length of the hair fiber. The result: hair is nourished and naturally protected from external factors that can make it even more fragile. As the hair is brushed, it becomes softer, stronger, and more resilient.
But which boar bristle brush should you choose to enjoy all these benefits? We recommend a superior model, made with quality bristles, like the Altesse Studio haircare brush. Designed for fine to normal, thick, or curly hair, this top-of-the-range hair accessory (made in France) will give your brittle hair unrivalled care and styling performance. Supporting evidence: 85% of users observed a considerable reduction in breakage after 4 weeks.
Prevent brittle hair with proper detangling
The most effective way to detangle your hair gently and avoid breakages: start with the ends and work your way gently up towards the roots. This prevents putting extra pressure on any knots. When it comes to accessories, swap your comb for a detangling brush made from Altesse Studio bio-sourced nylon fibers. Its secret? Ultra-precise detangling without pain or breakage, finely separates hair. The result is a better distribution of haircare products, as well as a considerable reduction in drying time.

Adopting the right haircare routine for brittle hair
Chemical hair products are often too aggressive for the hair fiber. Becoming weakened, it no longer plays its protective role, and hair becomes drier and duller. Split ends can appear, and the fiber can break. The solution? Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo, preferably made from natural ingredients to avoid drying out the hair fiber even more.
But that’s not all. To help your hair regain its elasticity and shine, moisturize the lengths and ends regularly with a hydrating mask or oil treatment, avoiding the scalp. Choose a rich, thick oil like avocado oil, perfect for intensely nourishing dry, brittle, and damaged hair.
Limit the use of heated appliances that dry out and damage hair
Bad news for those who straighten their hair every day: straighteners are the No. 1 hair mistake as they damage the hair. And with good reason: repeated use weakens the hair fiber, causing it to dry out and break. If you can't do without them, then use them just twice a week at most, between 120°C and 190°C. Make sure to use a thermo-protective treatment. And try to only go over each section once.
And when using a hairdryer, make sure you keep it at least 20 cm from your head. This will protect your scalp and hair from the heat. If possible, set it to the minimum temperature for optimum fiber protection.
