Clean your brush regularly– use a comb to remove the hair from your boar bristle brush after each use. You may also notice a white powder coating the bristles. This can be product build-up or dandruff. Also, if you use the Morrocco Method henna treatments or Zen Detox treatments that I recommend, it can leave a residue on the brush if you don’t rinse the treatment out thoroughly enough. To clean my brush, I rinse it under cool water then use a lint-free, tightly-woven towel to gently remove the residue from the bristles. Boar bristle brushes spread these natural oils, meaning your hair will look glossy and soft, not greasy. You might even find that you need to wash your hair less often. As we mentioned earlier, you might not be needing to wash your hair as often, so you don’t need to buy shampoo as often either! If you’re looking for a hairbrush to last you a lifetime, then you may want to invest in one of these natural brushes – no nasty chemicals involved.

However, if you want a vegan alternative, choose something made of nylon or agave, or tampico, fibers, both of which will provide the right level of toughness and resistance.

Pinch out the loose hairs, and use warm soapy water to keep it clean. I let mine dry out overnight on a small towel.” Shape And Size When you’re using a brush made with boar bristles, the oils at the roots are evenly distributed down the length of the hair shaft. The result is hair that is naturally conditioned by your scalp’s own oils – which are the perfect pH for your hair.The handle is made of wood, so there’s a nice heft in your hand while you use it, but it’s not at all heavy. But if you have fine, thin, or super-short hair, using a boar bristle hairbrush with second or third-cut bristles is ideal. These bristles aren’t quite as stiff and strong as the first cut.

In general, boar brushes are more expensive. But they are also more durable and last longer than synthetic brushes. These bristles are strong enough to make their way through the hair and to the scalp, where they can cleanse, massage, and stimulate blood flow for growth. They’re also more expensive.With a large paddle design, this boar bristle brush makes styling and detangling your hair even more effortless. Most handles are made of some kind of wood—which tends to vary in type and quality. Not all brands are transparent about it, but walnut is usually a good indicator of quality.
