The Boar Bristle Hair Brush
The Boar Bristle Hair Brush is generally considered to be the superior option when compared with alternatives such as general plastic or synthetic styles. It has been repeatedly proven that the use of boar bristle brushes helps maintain the health and appearance of a persons hair. The effectiveness of these type of brushes means that their everyday usage can replace the need to purchase expensive hair care products.
Boar Bristle Hair Brush Benefits
The reason that they are so highly regarded is that they are second to none at removing foreign particles including oil, dirt and dust from the hair whist at the same time leaving a natural shine and gloss. They are made of tightly packed boar bristles, each of which contains tiny scales which remove these impurities with each stroke. In addition to this the bristle help stimulate blood flow around the scalp which both promotes hair growth and aids relaxation.
Boar bristle hair brushes are able to distribute oils or sebum from close to the base to the ends of the hair. This is important as sebum is a substance which is produced by the scalp that will keep hair naturally moisturized and shiny. Ideally hair should be brushed using long strokes after it has been cleaned and untangled, from the scalp outwards towards the tips or ends of the hair.
Boar Bristle Hair Brush Varieties
The boar bristle hair brush is available in a wide range of shapes and styles from different brands and for both children and adults. Different designs can be more beneficial to certain types of hair, wide and flat designs (or club) are ideal for straightening long thick or curly hair and narrow brushes are ideal for short and finer hair. The blend is also an important point to consider, shorter hair responds best to 100% boar, whereas thick or curly hair may be best suited to a 50% boar 50% nylon mix.
As these brushes are manufactured using wild hog hair some people such as vegetarians and vegans prefer to use alternatives. There are various brushes which aim to simulate the effects produced by boar bristle including wooden and tightly packed synthetic bristled brushes. Unlike boar bristle these alternatives tend not to be absorbent and so will not distribute oils as effectively.
Aside from all the benefits these products have for the hair, they are also regarded as a stylish accessory for bathroom counters or dressing tables. They tend to have a natural and elegant appearance and also practical and resilient making them suitable for travelling or taking to the gym.
