Written by Raffaello Minelli | July 15 2021

Hairbrushes can be more than just simple personal care products. They can be real luxurious objects of design.

People today look for unique and special objects to display in their homes that are durable, strong, and safe at the same time. They also want to customize them according to their requirements.

Now you can transform something as traditional and practical as hairbrush handles into a form of art that stands out from all the rest.

hairbrush handleS & the new luxury approach to material design

Innovation, customization, and precision are particularly important today, especially when talking about personal care objects. Consumers are more demanding than ever before, and they always look for more special, more luxurious, more innovative, and more personalized objects.

It is true that “less is more” and that simplicity is appreciated, but people today want to buy distinctive objects with complicated shapes and unique finishes that emerge from the rest.

This doesn’t mean flashy products but, on the contrary, something so elegant and refined that it can’t go unnoticed.

Make hairbrush handles unique by playing with light and shadow

Can you imagine a hairbrush handle made of a composite material with fine brass and bronze mesh?

Impeccable manufacturing with a strong semitransparent resin that fixes the mesh in position and improves the 3D depth effect?

A meticulous polishing process that emphasizes the contrast between light, shade, and natural colours, enhancing those details of brass and bronze foils immersed in the resin composite?

The result is a statement of modern elegance and luxury—a unique effect that deceives the eye with its rough and irregular appearance but is perfectly smooth and sinuous to the touch.

The original chiaroscuro effect creates the illusion of three-dimensional volume on a flat surface.

Originally, chiaroscuro (chiaro=light, scuro=dark) was a painting technique of the Renaissance and Baroque periods that took its name from artists playing with light and shadow to give life and drama to their images.

Today, you can use this technique even on the most common objects to get an amazing and astonishing result, playing with colours and shapes to satisfy your clients’ requests.

Here you can see what we mean:

 

How do you get this luxurious and elegant effect?

This special finish for hairbrushes is made with a mix of resin and metal as discussed before.

A perfect result can be obtained only if the manufacturer you select has the right technologies, competency, and CNC machines to manage different materials and combine them properly.

Advanced tools are necessary for the sanding (to prepare the raw material) and for the application of the final type of finish. For this kind of finish, impeccable polishing is also necessary to obtain the desired chiaroscuro effect.

An experienced manufacturer with advanced machining can manage different materials and offer unique and innovative finishing options to its clients in line with the latest market trends.

If your supplier has an internal Research and Development department, it means they constantly work to find the best and most efficient solutions that can satisfy increasingly demanding and evolving customer needs and standards.
