Boar-bristle brushes: how can you tell a high-quality one?

Have you ever noticed that the boar bristles our brushes have different and irregular lengths
? This tapered arrangement within each
tuft is a deliberate design choice, intended to provide real benefits for your hair.

The longest bristles penetrate the hair mass, reaching the scalp to stimulate it and capture natural oils the root. The medium-length bristles, meanwhile, separate the strands and ensure distribution to the ends. The result: a nourishing brushing routine that cares for your hair in a single step.

On the contrary, a boar-bristle brush with bristles that stand straight up (all at the same height) is unable to work its way between the strands or ensure that natural oils are distributed evenly natural oils the
lengths. Brushing therefore remains superficial.

The precise sizing of the bristle clusters ensures effective brushing. Each cluster is therefore sized to achieve a specific balance. The bristle clusters on your Altesse Studio brushStudio fine enough to penetrate the hair, yet firm enough to maintain their shape. It is this precision in sizing that makes Altesse Studio brushesStudio on all hair types, from the most delicate to the thickest.

And our brushes designed for thick hair or curly.

Boar bristles are not uniform along their entire length:

- The tip, the upper end, is soft and lacks stiffness: it cannot penetrate the hair or distribute natural oils. Often inexpensive, it offers no benefit to the hair.

- The middle section offers moderate performance.

- The first cut (the finest part of the bristle) possesses the flexural strength and surface properties necessary for unique hair care that is visible from the very first brush strokes.

Because its keratin structure is identical to that of human hair, the first treatment works in perfect harmony with your hair shaft, allowing it to bind with natural oils, smooth the cuticles, and nourish the hair naturally.
