Your follicle lives on what your blood brings it. Everything that improves circulation and calms the nervous system works for your fibre.
ReadAffrenchy is a French house devoted to grey, silver and white hair. It gives back what belongs to it: the light, the softness, and the right to be worn with pride.
The name holds two promises in a single word. French, because France leads the world in cosmetics, and our treatment deserved its laboratories and its standards. Affranchir, to set free, because grey and white hair is a privilege worth celebrating: our work is to reveal it, and to release the women who wear it from the pressure to conceal it.
Our science: the hair microbiome
and the skinification of the scalp.
Our science begins at the scalp: its microbiome, its hydrolipidic film, its balance. We give it the care dermatology reserves for the face, what trichology calls skinification.
A single treatment is being formulated with a French laboratory. One reference, worked on at length, rather than a range that scatters its attention. We will take whatever time it needs.
Grey and white hair forms a fibre in its own right. It has a light, a surface and a set of needs entirely its own, and these call for a formulation of their own. That is exactly where we stand.
Affrenchy comes from a conversation that has always been going on between a doctor and her daughter, and from the idea that a white hair deserves better than being hidden.

ReadYour follicle follows a clock, exactly as you do. What happens between midnight and four in the morning will show on your fibre in three months.
ReadMany women live the hair transition and the hormonal transition at once. Here is what genuinely connects the two.
ReadThe treatment is being formulated. The day it is ready, the women who walked with us will hear of it before anyone else. Until then we will write rarely, and always with something to say.
