We know our shampoo inside and out, and we choose our hair mask with care… but how much thought do we give to our hairbrush? Yet, the right brush can make all the difference. Before choosing one, here are 4 questions worth asking.
1. Which brush should I choose for my hair type?
Fine, fragile hair has very different needs from thick, curly hair, so choosing a brush suited to your hair type is essential. The perfect match: bristles specifically designed for your hair.
The Altesse Studio care brush for fine to normal hair combines precision tapering with fine clusters of boar bristles, offering a more delicate touch and exceptionally gentle brushing.
Its version for thick or curly hair features fuller clusters of bristles designed to glide effortlessly through dense hair, reach the scalp, and protect both the hair fiber and the natural structure of curls.
That’s why the Altesse Studio care brush is the ideal choice to care for and and enhance every hair type.
2. Which materials should I choose for my next brush?
Plastic, nylon, natural bristles: the material directly affects how a brush moves through the hair, as well as how it interacts with the hair fiber and scalp.
The material that makes all the difference: first-cut boar bristles.
For its care brushes, Altesse Studio draws on the keratin-based fibrous structure of boar bristles, just like that of our own hair. This natural compatibility allows the bristles to capture sebum at the roots and gradually distribute it through to the ends, while providing a stimulating scalp massage. The olive wood handle, finished with linseed oil, offers an optimal grip while ensuring lasting durability. Choosing boar bristles over plastic can transform your everyday hairbrushing experience.
3. Made in France or made in Asia?
Just as we carefully consider the ingredients in our shampoo or serum, our hairbrush should be held to the same standard.
The number that says it all: 22 steps and up to 7 hours of work to make the Altesse Studio Prestige brush.
Drilling, counter-drilling, bristle insertion, polishing, shaping: at Altesse Studio’s workshops, every detail is carefully considered in the pursuit of excellence. A French creator since 1875, Altesse Studio continues to preserve the traditional techniques of French brushmaking in Picardy. This exceptional craftsmanship has been recognized with the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) designation, awarded by the French government.
4. How long will my brush really last?
This is a question worth asking before you even consider the price. When one brush needs to be replaced regularly while another lasts for years, the price tells a very different story.
The ultimate luxury: a high-quality brush designed to last a lifetime - and beyond.
Guaranteed for life and repairable for life, the 100% handmade Prestige brush is designed as a lasting beauty companion, one that can be passed down from generation to generation. Exceptional quality, high-performance brushing, and healthier-looking hair and scalp over time: Altesse Studio elevates hair care into a beauty ritual designed to stand the test of time. A level of quality that makes the price of a high-end brush entirely justifiable.
