Why choose a brush made from boar bristles made in France?
While boar bristles brushes were accessible to all, their use began to decline with the invention of synthetic fibers (including nylon in 1936), particularly after the Second World War. Since 1875, the Made in France challenge has been at the heart of Altesse Studio values: as a French creator and manufacturer of hairbrushes for six generations, the company is keen to enhance the tradition of the brushmaker's craft through ancestral know-how and respect for criteria of excellence. By choosing a Altesse Studio brush in boar bristles made in France, you are participating in a virtuous movement that perpetuates the French brushing tradition and helps revitalize this historic industry, while providing numerous benefits for your hair.
What's the difference between a boar bristles brush made in France and an industrial plastic brush?
Two issues differentiate a brush made from boar bristles made in France from an industrially manufactured brush: quality and ethics. While a natural boar bristle brush is effective for a
optimal brushing and offers flawless durability over the years, plastic brushes offer no benefit to the hair. They will detangle your hair, but in a way that is aggressive both to the hair fiber (tension and breakage) and to the scalp, due to the rigidity of their pins. Some will also pull out your hair as it gets caught between the pneumatic pad and the base of the pins. What's more, they will have a much shorter life than quality French brushes, due to the quality of the materials used and the manufacturing methods. But also, a French boar bristles brush is the result of genuine historical brushmaking know-how, via a responsible and virtuous manufacturing process such as the one adopted at Altesse Studio . In contrast, cheap brushes are mostly produced by factories whose conditions are sometimes questionable. This is a departure from the values we hold dear as a brush manufacturer.
