What is a boar bristle brush?

A boar bristle brush is a type of hairbrush made with natural bristles derived from the hair of a boar. The bristles are strong, yet flexible, providing a gentle detangling and smoothing effect on the hair without causing damage or breakage.

Boar bristle brushes are often favored for their ability to distribute the scalp's natural oils, called sebum, throughout the hair, resulting in healthier, shinier, and more moisturized hair. This can help to reduce frizz, prevent dryness, and promote overall hair health.

These brushes are typically recommended for those with fine to normal hair types, as the natural bristles are gentle and may not be as effective for detangling thick or coarse hair. It is important to regularly clean and maintain a boar bristle brush to prevent buildup of oils and dirt, which can affect its performance.

Boar bristle brushes are available in various sizes and styles, including paddle brushes, round brushes, and vented brushes, making them suitable for different hair types and styling preferences.
