Hairbrushes with natural boar bristles have been preferred for centuries. Each of our Ambassador Hairbrushes has been carefully hand- crafted to provide years of enjoyable use. Our boar bristles are sheared humanly from farm- raised animals, as wool sheared from sheep. Ambassador Hairbrushes are made from non- endangered woods, beautifully durable and smooth to the touch. We offer many handle designs to comfortably fit any hand. Boar bristles distribute the natural oils from their origin in the scalp to the hair ends. Besides adding luster, brushing with a fine Ambassador Hairbrush protects your hair from the elements which cause drying and splitting. For thick hair we recommend our Pneumatic Brushes. They are made with the finest boar bristles available and then reinforced with nylon quills. These brushes can tame the thickest hair while distributing your natural hair oils. Putting time aside each day to pamper yourself using a fine Ambassador Hairbrush can add calm and relaxation to a hectic day. Made in West Germany.
