The Details

The Brush No. 001 is a handcrafted beechwood dual-bristle brush made with ethically sourced boar bristles and high-quality nylon. Short boar bristles distribute natural oils from the scalp throughout the strands, nourishing and softening with each stroke, while the longer nylon bristles gently stimulate the scalp.

The mixed tension design makes detangling effective and breakage-free. The pneumatic breathing hole allows air to escape the cushion, giving the brush a gentle, flexible feel that adapts as you glide across the scalp.

We recommend all hair textures, especially medium to thick hair types.

How to Use

Before washing, brush through strands to loosen buildup and distribute oils from the scalp. Continue brushing daily to detangle, encourage even oil distribution, and enhance shine. Wet hair is more vulnerable; please use a wide-tooth comb instead.

Avoid getting The Brush No. 001 wet. Use The Brush Cleaner to remove hair and maintain it's effectiveness.

FAQ

Where is The Brush No 001 made?

It is handcrafted in Italy.

What makes the bristles special?

Boar bristles distribute natural oils while longer nylon ones detangle and stimulate the scalp.

What are the dimensions?

8.75" long from top to bottom of handle, 2.625" cushion width at widest point, 3.5" handle, 0.625" bristles

Are boar and nylon bristle brushes good for oily scalps?

Yes. Brushing before washing moves excess oil from the scalp through the strands, reducing oiliness at the root. With consistent use, brushing supports a more balanced scalp over time.

Can The Brush No 001 be used for all hair types?

Yes, The Brush No. 001 works well across all hair textures, though we especially recommend it for medium to thick hair. Those with fine hair may prefer The Brush No. 003, designed specifically for finer strands.

Review posted07/22/26

No mechanical damage and healthy ends!!!

I heat style my curly hair 2x a week and have dealt with brush breakage at my ends (mechanical damage) more than heat damage. After using this brush, my ends are strong and full, they do not snap off, I shed significantly less and my hair is always left soft and detangled without ANY mechanical damage. I cannot recommend this brush enough, better than anything in the market. 10/10 worth the investment! I never leave reviews; I am very passionate about this.

Question asked 11/25/22

Is this suitable for thinning hair ( not fine strands) . I know no 3 is probably recommended but I kind of like the nylon to stimulate my scalp.

I have this question too

Store answer

Hi! The Brush 001 is meant for medium to thick hair, using a combination of boar and nylon bristles to distribute your hair’s natural oils while simultaneously protecting your scalp. While the Brush 002 is great for all hair types, and uses wooden pins for a gentle, everyday detangle!

Question asked 05/16/22

I noticed you say this brush is cruelty free but then you say it has boar bristles. I'd like to get the brush but I do not buy products that are made from animals. Why is it advertised as cruelty free? Thanks

Store answer

Hi, thank you for your question! We source and harvest all of our boar bristles ethically.

They are Sus Scrofa pork bristles, farmed from China, and disinfected by exposure to steam at 140° C. They are also boiled for at least 2 hours and have been scoured and cleaned (they are free extraneous materials).

They are a by-product of the food industry. Boars are mainly bred for food purposes and not especially for their bristles. This means we use a part of the boar that otherwise would be thrown away!

Please let me know if you have any other questions, and our Brush No. 002 is vegan and made with wooden bristles :)

The Brush No. 001 is a mix of boar and nylon bristles! If you are looking for a pure boar brush, our Brush No. 003 is all boar bristles.

Is this the recommended brush for fine, oily hair? Or would Brush 002 suit me better?

Store answer

For fine hair, we recommend Brush No. 003! It will help distribute your natural oils from your scalp to your strands. However, Brush No. 002 is great for all hair types and for an even detangle :)

We would not recommend brushing on wet hair, as this is when your hair is most vulnerable to breakage. Comb when wet, and brush when dry!
