Many people today are particularly conscious of the bad consequences of using artificial hairbrushes for their hair and the environment, and they look for greener and more natural alternatives. Offering top-quality hairbrushes with wooden pins can be the right choice to gain a competitive edge.
In this article, we discuss the benefits of choosing a hairbrush made with sustainable materials compared with a plastic one.
4 reasons to choose hairbrushes with wooden pins
Artificial hairbrushes are not typically made of a single type of plastic: they may contain nylon, rubber, wood, metal, glues, and other materials that make them impossible to recycle. Once thrown away, plastic brushes may take several decades to degrade in a landfill.
Wood, on the contrary, is a natural material, and if collected properly, it is 100% sustainable and does not damage the environment once thrown out.
Moreover, if managed by an expert manufacturer, it is extremely durable and long-lasting, so it is even more eco-friendly.
But besides sustainability, natural hairbrushes with wooden pins are also better for hair.
Here are four benefits of choosing them.
They regulate the quantity of sebum
Although sebum is good for the hair, too much can make your hair look slick and greasy. Wood fibres can absorb excess sebum and provide a clean and healthy look.
Moreover, a wooden hairbrush would distribute natural oils evenly and more efficiently helping you keep hair softer and smoother.
They reduce static charge
Plastic and artificial pins increase electrical charge in hair contributing to static, frizz, and fussy fly aways. As wood has a neutral charge, wooden pins are of course antistatic, which means hair remains smooth and static free when using a wooden hairbrush.
This is an essential plus for both professional and home-use hair beauty tools.
They are delicate in the hair
Pins made of wood are soft, smooth, and free from burrs and irregular corners that may rip hair out when brushing. Choosing wooden hairbrushes is also ideal for sensitive scalps and lets you reduce hair loss and breakage, which helps improve health.
Being a natural material, wood doesn’t cause allergic reactions or irritations.
They provide a gentle scalp massage
Wooden pins are ideal to massage the scalp. Besides being incredibly soothing and relaxing, a gentle scalp massage stimulates blood circulation while respecting the follicles thus increasing blood flow to the hair.
Proper circulation lets the glands and follicles below the scalp respond well by growing thicker, longer, and healthier hair.
How to select the right supplier
These are just some of the reasons why wooden hairbrushes are so appreciated by modern consumers. If you decide to offer them in your catalogue, however, you must carefully evaluate your supplier. It is important to ensure that hairbrushes are completely made of wood, i.e., they must have wooden pins too!
Sometimes, brushes and combs are marketed as wooden, but they only have a wooden handle.
Wooden pins are necessary to enjoy the benefits discussed above, but you must consider that not all wood makers can produce pins made of wood. To create these very small objects and make them precise and perfect, a manufacturer must have advanced technologies and deep experience in wood manufacturing.
You also need fully automated production lines and extremely accurate quality control systems to ensure the highest standards in terms of safety and functionality.
If your idea is offering completely sustainable products, you must ensure that the manufacturing company adopts sustainable practices and manufacturing processes and uses only FSC/PEFC-certified wood that comes from sustainably managed forests and gathered following the rules imposed by the market for environmental and forestry protection.
The Minelli Group has always focused on sustainability: in 1999, we were among the first to be certified by the FSC when it was not yet a standard. Today, we are also PEFC certified.
The combination of cutting-edge software, innovative machines, and decades of experience in wood manufacturing allows us to guarantee top-quality products that will let you stand out from your competitors and stay a step ahead in the market.
