ART DECO SMOOTHING HAIRBRUSH

WHAT IF HAIRBRUSHINGRECLAIMED ITS PLACE IN THE BEAUTY RITUAL?
Inspired by an era when time was taken to style the hair at the dressing table, the Altesse Studio Art Deco hairbrush accompanies the hair through a slow, precise and regular movement. Its natural white bristles help smooth the fibre, discipline the lengths and bring natural shine without weighing the hair down.
WHY FINE TO NORMAL HAIR WILL LOVE IT
• Smooths the fibre: Regular brushing helps align the hair and smooth frizz, leaving it visibly neater and more harmonious.
• Natural shine: By carrying sebum from the roots towards the lengths, hairbrushing helps reveal the hair’s natural radiance.
• Disciplined hair: The lengths are better aligned, the hair appears more supple and surface frizz is kept under control.
• Softness to the touch: Regular brushing brings immediate softness to the hair.
• Care without build-up: Brushing helps care for the lengths naturally, without relying on multiple styling products.
• A moment for yourself: The ritual of 100 hairbrush strokes transforms an everyday gesture into a slow, intimate and almost ceremonial moment of care.

To detangle the hair, begin with a suitable detangling hairbrush, then finish with the Art Deco hairbrush to smooth the lengths and reveal their shine.

THE RECOMMENDED RITUAL
On dry, previously detangled hair, brush from roots to ends. Repeat the gesture regularly across the entire head of hair. To fully embrace the ritual of 100 hairbrush strokes, divide the gesture into several sequences so that every section of the hair is brushed gently and precisely.

THE TIME-HONOURED RITUAL OF 100 HAIRBRUSH STROKES
The ritual of 100 hairbrush strokes belongs to an era when haircare was given time. This regular gesture helped smooth the fibre, discipline the hair, naturally distribute sebum and bring shine to the lengths. Beyond its visible benefits, it created a slow, repeated and almost intimate moment of care.

How to use your Art Deco smoothing hairbrush
1. Detangle your hair beforehand, if needed.
2. Use the hairbrush on dry hair only. 3. Begin by brushing the lengths from roots to ends.
4. Repeat the gesture across the entire head of hair.

This regular gesture enhances the hair’s natural beauty, disciplines the lengths and brings immediate, natural softness.

• Beechwood handle: The hairbrush is crafted from beechwood, shaped to offer an elegant silhouette and a comfortable grip. Its design draws on the structured codes of Art Deco and evokes the beauty objects once displayed on dressing tables.
• Paint and satin varnish: Each shade is carefully applied, then protected with a satin varnish finish. This gives the hairbrush a delicate feel and a subtle lustre inspired by the lacquers and decorative objects of the Roaring Twenties.
• Hand-engraved and hand-gilded decoration: The radiating lines that structure the handle are engraved and gilded by hand, in keeping with the geometric and precious aesthetic of the Art Deco movement. This decorative craftsmanship enhances the hairbrush’s silhouette and gives it the character of a true object of beauty.
• Polished gilded pewter medallion: The central medallion in polished gilded pewter reinforces the precious character of the creation. Combined with the radiating decoration of the handle, it echoes the emblematic ornamental codes of Art Deco. Adorned with the profile of a 1920s woman, it directly evokes the beauty and elegance of another era.Beechwood handle: The hairbrush is crafted from beechwood, shaped to offer an elegant silhouette and a comfortable grip.
