This is a very reliable and effective product that has been used for many decades. Since boar bristles are similar to human hair in texture therefore it has several advantages over the synthetic bristle brush.
Here are some major benefits of using a boar bristle brush:
Hair growth
It gently massages the scalp which results in an increase in blood circulation around the scalp and it also unclogs the hair follicles. The improved blood flow into the follicles helps in better transport of nutrients which results in new hair growth. This also improves the health of your scalp and thus reduces hair fall and prevents further hair damage.
Conditioning
Our body produces the natural conditioning substance that is sebum and your boar bristle brush helps in the even distribution of this sebaceous oil on the entire hair length. It allows the natural oil (which generally sits idle on top of your scalp) to coat every strand of your hair.
Add shine
The brushing action and coating of natural oil make your hair shinier. So, if you are thinking to dump your chemical-based sprays or conditioner then you can do it as soon as possible because you can get the same result from a simple boar bristle brushing session.
Prevents frizz
Our body has its own mechanism to tackle frizzy hair or split ends and when you team up this natural mechanism with a proper tool (i.e. boar bristle brush) then you get healthy hair as a result. sebum not just conditions your hair but also seals the split ends, removes frizz, and prevents any hair breakage due to dryness.
Clean your scalp
The boar bristles remove any dirt or waste build-up on the scalp and therefore maintain a clean scalp that allows itself to breathe. It also doesn’t allow sebum to collect on the scalp as it takes the oil toward the hair ends with each brushing stroke.
Balance oil production
Regular use of a boar bristle brush can balance the natural oil production on the scalp. Its massaging action can stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum in case your scalp is underproducing the natural oil.
Soften hair
Don’t use shampoo for 3 – 4 days but use the boar bristle brush daily and you will find your hair soft and shiny without any hair care or styling product.
Simple styling tool
It is a great styling tool because it can add volume to your thin and fine hair if you flip your hair and start brushing from the nape of your neck to the forward direction. Regular brushing can make your hair straight without using any heat. You will not feel a need for styling product or tools in your daily styling process
Improves hair texture
The most remarkable feature of using a boar bristle brush is that it will improve your hair texture. For example, it can transform your curly hair into bouncy waves by conditioning it and loosening the curls into waves. It can add volume and shine to your straight hair. In simple words, this brush just brings out the best of your hair.
How to use a boar bristle brush?
