Which brush should you choose according to your hair type?
Choosing the right hairbrush is essential for maintaining the health and beauty of your hair. Whether it's fine, curly, thick, or fragile, each hair type has specific needs. The right brush helps detangle without breakage, distributes sebum naturally, and prevents static electricity. Discover our tips for finding the ideal brush for your hair type.
For fine or fragile hair
The boar bristle hairbrush is ideal. It respects the hair fiber, provides softness and shine, while distributing sebum to naturally nourish the lengths.
For thick, curly or difficult to detangle hair
Opt for a wooden bristle brush , designed to detangle hair painlessly and without breaking it. Its bristles gently massage the scalp, activating blood circulation and thus stimulating hair growth.
🚨 The right reflex: always start by detangling the ends before working your way up to the roots to avoid breakage!
Using a hairbrush in winter
The boar bristle brush is more than just a styling tool. Thanks to its natural bristles, this brush gently brushes hair, reduces frizz, and helps maintain shiny, manageable locks. Discover why using this brush can transform your hair care routine and give you healthier, shinier, and static-free hair.
Hairbrush, the definition by Andrée Jardin
A hairbrush is an object used almost daily, sometimes several times a day, for years. It is in direct contact with the hair and scalp, sensitive areas that react immediately to the quality of the materials, the flexibility of the brush, and how the bristles work. A poorly designed brush pulls, breaks, irritates, or causes static electricity. A well-designed brush tames frizz, distributes sebum, respects the hair, and improves comfort with each use. At Andrée Jardin, the hairbrush is conceived as a grooming tool before it is a consumer product.
For Andrée Jardin, a hairbrush is a durable object, made in France from natural materials, designed to care for hair over time without damaging it . It must be flexible enough to follow the scalp's movement, firm enough to detangle without breakage, and robust enough to maintain its properties for years. A hairbrush isn't meant to be replaced every six months. It should age gracefully, develop a patina, and remain effective, wash after wash, brush after brush.
Andrée Jardin was born from a simple idea: to revive the everyday objects of our grandmothers by adapting them to modern uses. The hairbrush is one of these timeless objects, long relegated to the status of a disposable accessory. By focusing on design, selecting natural materials, and maintaining high standards of French manufacturing, Andrée Jardin restores the hairbrush to its rightful place in the bathroom: that of a useful, durable object designed for the long term.
Two models, a deliberately limited choice
Andrée Jardin has chosen to offer only two types of hairbrushes, each available in small and large sizes, for a total of four models. This approach isn't due to a lack of options, but rather a desire to have complete control over each product. The boar bristle hairbrush is designed for those seeking a technical brushing technique, known for its effects on shine and sebum distribution. The detangling brush with wooden bristles is designed for everyday use, offering greater versatility on dry or slightly damp hair. Each size corresponds to a specific use, without artificially multiplying the number of models. The option to personalize your hairbrush allows you to make it truly unique.
Natural materials chosen for their function, not for their appearance
The frame is made of raw beech wood sourced from sustainably managed French forests. Beech is a dense, stable, and moisture-resistant wood, used for decades in brushing tools due to its durability. The Andrée Jardin logo is hot-stamped directly into the wood, without ink or surface treatment, guaranteeing the product's authenticity and longevity.
The membrane is made of natural rubber. It plays a key role in brushing comfort. It allows the brush to breathe, absorbs the pressure exerted during brushing, and adapts to different hair densities. This flexibility reduces tension on the scalp and minimizes breakage.
The bristles are either 100% natural boar bristles or wooden spikes, depending on the model . Boar bristles have been used for generations for their mechanical properties, which are similar to human hair, explaining their renowned effectiveness. Wooden spikes offer a softer, static-free alternative, suitable for everyday use.
A French manufacturing process organized through controlled stages
Andrée Jardin hairbrushes are made in France using a precise process . The wooden handle is crafted by specialized carpenters and then hot-stamped with the Andrée Jardin logo. The bristles are then embedded in a natural rubber membrane, which is glued into the wooden handle. This system results in a flexible and durable brush, unlike brushes where the bristles are directly embedded in the wood.
Each brush is then packaged in an Andrée Jardin cotton pouch. Quality control and order preparation are carried out at the brush factory . Each product is checked manually, with attention paid to the finish, fiber alignment, and overall assembly quality, before being shipped to the end customer.
An Andrée Jardin hairbrush is designed to last for many years under normal use. The beech wood used has an average density of approximately 720 kg/m³, ensuring strength and stability . The natural rubber retains its suppleness over time, unlike synthetic membranes that harden or crack. The boar bristles, when properly set, maintain their mechanical properties well beyond several thousand strokes through the hair.
