It's been 6 months since I've started using boar bristle brush and the difference it has made to my hair and my everyday routine is significant. In this article I would like to talk about the benefits of using boar bristle brush, how it will make your life easier and your hair grow and how does it compare to brushes I have been using before.
Is the boar bristle brush for you?
As Empowered Sustenance mentions 'Boar bristle brush brings out the natural texture in straight, wavy, or curly hair. This isn't the brush you'll use on wet hair or for styling your hair — but it is the perfect everyday brush to rid your hair of tangles, boost its body, and keep it glossy.
Boar bristle brush is a hair brush made up of a mixture of nylon and boar bristles. These magical bristles help to distribute oils more evenly through the lengths and ends of the hair, so that your strands stay well conditioned. By doing this, it helps reduce frizz and static. The biggest difference this brush makes is preventing oil build-up at the scalp and improves hair texture, all while stimulation your scalp - can I get a HURRAY to a head massage while brushing your hair?'

1. Naturally conditions hair
Above all boar bristle brushing is a conditioning treatment. Originally designed to improve hair texture and shine before products like conditioners and hair serums, boar bristle carries sebum - the oil produced by the scalp - from the scalp to the end of the hair shaft. By coating each hair strand with a very small amount of sebum, a boar bristle brush repairs dry hair and adds shine to your everyday haircare routine.
2.Improves hair structure
The most remarkable difference I've seen after regular boar bristle brushing for past 6 months is improvement in my hair texture. After my morning brushing, my hair feels nourished, looks shiny and healthy. I wouldn't say the brush changes hair type, it just brings out the best. If you have straight hair like me, it will add bouncy volume and shine.
3.Reduces frizz and need for styling products
Sebum is the original and most effective anti-frizz serum. By using a boar bristle brush to lubricate each hair strand with sebum, you’ll notice a significant decrease in frizz and you'll end up saving time and money on styling products - it's a win win purchase both for your hair and your wallet.
4.And most importantly reduces the frequency of washing your hair
We all live busy lives and trying to incorporate your weekly schedule with your washing schedule can be annoying. By preventing oil build-up at the scalp, which weights hair down and make it look greasy, boar bristle brush can highly reduce the frequency of your hair washing to every two, three or even four days.
How to properly use your boar bristle brush?
Unlike a regular hair brush, you need to approach boar bristle brushing with a careful plan of action.
DO'S
Step 1: Start with dry hair, before using your brush make sure your hair is completely dry off.
Step 2: Detangle hair first, your brush won't detangle and will actually create more tangles.
Step 3: Always brush from root to tip, with each stroke of the brush. This distributes the oils and creates shinny, bouncy looks.
Step 4: Brush in sections, first start by brushing the back of the hair by bending over, then stand up and brush the hairline.
DONT'S
One thing you should never do with your boar bristle brush is to use it on wet hair. Using it to detangle your wet hair will cause lots of damage and breakage to your ends.
