Since time immemorial, the boar bristle brush has been a natural, durable beauty essential used to detangle hair and keep it healthy and nourished. Altesse Studio has perfected the art of crafting unique hairbrushes with proven effectiveness, made entirely in France.

Why should you choose a French boar bristle brush?

Boar bristle brushes used to be widely accessible, and a common feature of most households. But the advent of synthetic fibers like nylon in 1936 led to a decline in their use, especially after World War II. Manufacturing its products in France has been one of the core values of Altesse Studio since its inception in 1875. The company has designed and crafted hairbrushes for six generations, keeping its traditional brush-making expertise and ancestral know-how at the heart of its activities, while respecting the highest standards of excellence. When you choose an Altesse studio French boar bristle brush, you are part of a virtuous cycle that helps keep traditional French brush-making alive. A choice that boosts a historic sector while offering you the many hair care benefits of a luxury brush!

What is the difference between a French boar bristle brush and a mass-produced plastic brush?

A French boar bristle brush and a mass-produced hairbrush differ in two important aspects: quality and ethics. Firstly, hairbrushes made from natural boar hair offer the most effective results and unwavering durability through the years, while plastic brushes offer no specific benefits to your hair. These brushes do detangle your hair, but they can be very aggressive: their stiff, pointed bristles can irritate your scalp while also causing frizz and breakage. Sometimes, your hair can even get caught between the cushion and the base of the bristles and be pulled out from the root! Secondly, the quality of the materials and manufacturing techniques used to mass-produce brushes are much less durable than French boar bristle hairbrushes. What’s more, Altesse Studio’s unique bristle placement is the result of traditional French expertise passed down and perfected through the generations and implemented through responsible and sustainable manufacturing practices. Cheap, mass-produced brushes tend to be primarily produced in factories with working conditions that may or may not be ethical. The very antithesis of our brush-making ateliers, which operate by our longstanding values.
