The Details

The Brush No. 003 is an ethically sourced, pure boar bristle brush best for fine hair or for styling. Handcrafted in Italy with natural beechwood, the bristles distribute natural oils through the strands, preventing dryness. Brushing protects the scalp from oxidative damage while adds shine to strands and volume to the crown.

All of our brushes feature a pneumatic breathing hole to allow air to escape the cushion, ensuring a gentle, flexible feel that adapts as you glide across the scalp.

How to Use

Brush strands before washing to loosen buildup from the scalp. Continue brushing strands daily to detangle, evenly distribute oils, and enhance shine. Wet hair is too vulnerable to be brushed, please use a comb instead. Use as a styling tool to tame flyaways and set hair.

Avoid getting The Brush No. 003 wet. Use The Brush Cleaner to remove hair and maintain it's effectivenes.

Store answer

The logo is screen printed on our brushes and designed to last a long time! We haven't heard any complains from our customers about the logo fading, and we also recommend storing it in its respective brush pouch.

Store answer

Hi there! The Brush No. 003 is great for thin strands, and the boar bristles will be gentle on your strands while still being able to detangle it. Our most gentle brush is Brush No. 002, which is made of smooth, wooden pins.

Is this brush okay on wavy/curly hair? Does it affect curl definition?

Store answer

You can definitely use The Brush No. 003 on wavy/curly hair, but not that it is best for thin/fine strands. If your hair is super curly or coily, you might want to use The Brush No. 002, which has wooden pins that won't separate curls, or just a wide tooth comb.

Yes, we would recommend the Brush No. 003 for thin hair, even if it is not fine! The boar bristles will distribute the natural oils from your scalp down to your strands.
