Natural Materials & Italian Craftsmanship

TEK hair brushes are handmade in Italy using carefully selected materials. TEK's ash wood is FSC-certified, and many current brushes use FSC-certified hornbeam wood for their wooden pins. Current TEK product information identifies vegetable carnauba wax and linseed oil as the finish for current ash wood brush handles on applicable models.

TEK also uses natural rubber cushions in its pneumatic brushes. Current TEK information describes these cushions as natural pure rubber rather than petroleum-derived synthetic materials.

The result is a beautiful alternative to conventional plastic hair brushes, combining natural materials with traditional Italian craftsmanship.

Wooden Pins vs. Plastic Pins

Wooden hair brushes provide a different brushing experience from conventional plastic brushes. Smooth wooden pins can help minimize static and provide a pleasant scalp massage as you brush.

TEK uses hornbeam wood for many of its wooden pins because of its strength and smoothness. The wood is FSC-certified on the current models that specify this material.
