Frequently Asked Questions
Tek was founded in 1977 in Milan by Giulio Valsecchi, a professional hairdresser who created the first patented brush with wooden pins. He and his brother-in-law, a carpenter, built the first model together. Nearly 50 years later, every Tek brush and comb is still 100% handmade in Italy.
Plastic brushes create static electricity that causes frizz — wooden ones don't. Wooden pins glide smoothly through the hair without snapping strands, while the scalp massage activates microcirculation and strengthens the hair follicle. If you've never tried a wooden brush, the difference in hair texture is noticeable from the very first use.
Tek uses ash wood that is 100% FSC certified — meaning it comes from responsibly managed forests. The pins are hand-finished with linseed oil and carnauba wax, no petrochemicals. The cushion pad uses natural rubber instead of petroleum-based plastics. All products are VeganOK certified.
For long or thick hair, the paddle brush with long wooden pins detangles without breakage. For short to medium hair, the small oval brush adds volume and shine. The boar bristle brush distributes natural oils from root to tip, ideal for fine hair that needs nourishment.
Remove hair after each use, clean the pins with a damp cloth and let it air dry naturally — never soak it in water. Once a month you can rub the pins with a little linseed oil to maintain the wood's smoothness. With proper care, a Tek brush lasts for years.
Tek wooden brushes and combs are available at HairMaker.Gr, with the full range of models for every hair type. Shipping is available across Greece, Cyprus and internationally — worldwide shipping with no restrictions.
