Diagnostic offertUsing a hairbrush after summer
After summer, hair shows the traces of several weeks of exposure: sun, salt, chlorine, and heat have stressed the hair fiber and dried out the scalp. When autumn arrives, they need simple actions to regain their suppleness and comfort. Daily brushing plays an essential role here. By regularly running the brush from root to tip, sebum is distributed along the entire length: this film protects the fiber, nourishes it, and restores its shine, without added products. On the scalp, brushing stimulates circulation and helps eliminate residues accumulated during the summer (salt, sand, leftover sun care products) to start anew on a healthy basis.
Boar bristles limit static electricity and respect the hair fiber, unlike plastic brushes. A soft, French-made and well-balanced brush thus accompanies the return to healthier hair.
Made in France, designed to last
Andrée Jardin hairbrushes are made in France and designed to care for hair over time without damaging it. They are flexible enough to follow the movement of the scalp, firm enough to detangle without breaking, and robust enough to retain their properties for several years. They are not intended to be replaced every six months: they should age gracefully, develop a patina, and remain effective, wash after wash, brush after brush.
This longevity is due to the materials used. The beech wood has an average density of around 720 kg/m³, a guarantee of strength and stability. The rubber retains its flexibility over time, whereas synthetic membranes harden or crack. And the boar bristles, properly set, retain their mechanical properties far beyond several thousand passes through the hair.
Selected materials
The frame is made of raw beech wood from French forests. Beech is a dense, stable, and moisture-resistant wood, used for decades in brushing objects for its longevity. The Andrée Jardin logo is hot-stamped directly into the wood, without ink or surface treatment.
The rubber membrane plays a central 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 limits breakage.
The bristles, depending on the model, are made of boar bristles or pins. Boar bristles have been used for generations for their mechanical properties similar to human hair, which explains their effectiveness. The pins offer a gentle, static-free alternative, suitable for daily use.
3 brushes for your everyday needs
Andrée Jardin chose to offer only three hairbrushes, each available in large and small sizes, making a total of six references. This choice is not a lack of offerings, but a desire to perfectly master each product rather than artificially multiplying the references.
The detangling bristle brush is designed for daily and versatile use, on dry or slightly damp hair. The 100% boar bristle brush is for those who are looking for a technical brushing, known for its effect on shine and sebum distribution. The nylon bristle and boar bristle brush combines the detangling of the bristles with the action of boar bristles. Each hairbrush can be personalized to make it unique.
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 electrifies. A well-designed brush disciplines, distributes sebum, respects the hair, and improves comfort with each use. At Andrée Jardin, the hairbrush is conceived as a care object before being a consumer object.
For Andrée Jardin, a hairbrush is an object made in France, designed to accompany hair over time without damaging it. It must be flexible enough to follow the movement of the scalp, firm enough to detangle without breaking, and robust enough to retain its properties for several years. A hairbrush is not meant to be replaced every six months. It must 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 current uses. The hairbrush is one of these timeless objects, long relegated to the rank of disposable accessories. By working on the design, selecting materials, and maintaining demanding French manufacturing, Andrée Jardin restores the hairbrush to its rightful place in the bathroom: that of a useful object, designed for the long term.
