Bounce Curl Defining Vegan Boar Bristle Brush vs $10 Amazon Boar Bristle Brush on Wavy Curly Hair

[@ronyrodriguez8533]

hi Lina, great presentation thank you… is it better to use either one of these brushes rather than the Denman brush?

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

Great question! I tend to refer the results I get with Boar bristle brushes a little better. But they do all give his results. It just depends on personal preference. Boar bristle brushes tend to smooth a little better and give more tension. The Tension gives me better curls, but if you're hair is more prone to breakage, less tension is better.

[@ronyrodriguez8533]

@@Linas_lovelylocks thank you Lina 🙏

I bought the brush when it first came out. I used it a few times. I didn't think it was wll that great. I was just about to give it away. After watching your video, I thought I would give the brush another try. I find it works great for the majority of my hair, also making sure my hair is soaking wet and has enough product. I like brushing styling my hair with a light weight gel. But when it comes to my top section, where it's mostly grey, my boar bristle/nylon brush (I have GSQ by Glamsqaud for just $13.50! I and I love it!} works best. So it is true, it's a journey. Experimenting and finding out what works for your hair.

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

That's good to know that it didn't work as well in your gray areas! And that's definitely true. Figuring out what your hair needs is such a journey! So much goes into it. Especially since everyones hair is different and everyone has different preferences. I'm glad that you've figured out what works best for you and your hair. ☺

[@Dragonsalad74]

You said your hair doesn't spiral well in general on the left but it looks like it naturally coils outwards on the left but you've brushed your coils inwards and so they're getting flattened out. I have this same issue, I have to brush my left side coils inwards and my right side coils outwards. Worth a try! :)

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

I have actually tried brushing both directions to see what works better and to be honest...it doesn't make a whole lot of difference. Normally I do go in from the back on the left, but I will admit, I did get a little lazy this time. 😂

[@jonathanteixeira2320]

I finally got mine. I found the sane with the bcbrush

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

I'm learning a lot about mine. I plan on doing an update video here before too long ☺️

[@jonathanteixeira2320]

Iv been using the brush and found that the groves were not wide enough for my hair juice of clumps. It does my hair more justice. . . Right off to boyfriend 😉 at 1:19 am here in the UK lol🎉

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

That's definitely fair. I find having bigger sections help. But I could see looser textures finding this brush not working the best for them. 👍

[@simplyamandashomesteadsampler]

I bit the bullet and got that brush too😂! I used a code & paid $27 ( I think.) I absolutely love it. I also have the Sassoon brush and love it. The BC brush just seems to make the styling go faster for me. Brush styling does keep my hair smoother with frizz. I think the volume was better with the BC brush. Have you tried styling your hair with the BC on one side & the Sassoon on the other. It would be interesting to see. I may try it on my own. Either way, your curls are beautiful! Tfs! Blessings!

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

I noticed that too that it made styling go quicker. I'll have to use it a few more times but I really liked it. I used to do side by side comparisons, but the texture on my left side is so different that it doesn't work very well. It's unfortunate, but part of why I started doing my current format. I wish I could do side by sides. They're much easier to see the difference that way.

[@tarakalamacaldwell8087]

Lina- how do you sleep on your hair at night? Pineapple? Cap?

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

Thanks for asking! I use a Buff to sleep with. My trick is that I bought a kids sized one so it doesn't fall off at night 😂

[@daileighnovember]

And the key necklace! Omgoodness!! What would i search on the inet to find these items?! Love that u take ur own photos? I hope so i have thought ab it but never done it and now im like hmm yes! Imma do this!!

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

Thanks! I really like the keys on necklaces for some reason 😂 I have several. I couldn't give you an exact link for this one because my sis bought it for me from a renaissance fair, but if you look up "antique key necklace" you can find a lot of cool ones. I have some that are bronze and some that are silver, so you could throw in a color if you have a preference. As for the mermaid statue, I bought that in a store while on vacation a while back. But I bet if you look up "bronze mermaid statue" you could find something similar. I do take my own pictures. ☺ the key is to take a ton 😂 I tend to take somewhere between 20-30 and then sort through them. I'll typically find a couple that I like that way.

[@ceystal]

I heard bouncecurl is working on different spacing between the ridges on the brush. Closer together for coily hair and farther apart for wavy hair. I keep seeing this brush everywhere and may try it out once they release a wavy version. Lol I dont ever even brush style maybe once every 6 months. It would be nice to see how the brush does with the treluxe mousse! That mousse gives the best clumps

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

I've heard that too though I have no idea how long it'll be. It would be interesting to compare the wavy one with the curly one on my hair when they finally come out. But yeah... I'm not sure it would be worth it if you rarely brush style XD I'm curious to see how it works with the Treluxe mousse too. I'll have to give it a try. That and the Verb foam. I plan on trying that soon, so I guess we'll find it then in that one. ☺️

[@jonathanteixeira2320]

Hey. Thank you for the video. Do you ever use a leave in and if so do you find they affect the styling results. ??? X 🎉Jonathan

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

I personally don't really use leave in conditioners. When I do, I use ones that are more liquidy. Whether or not you use them depends on what your hair needs. If it needs a lot if moisture, go for it. Mine doesn't really and if I use a leave in conditioner, it weighs my hair down and leads to moisture overload. If I do need the moisture, I'm more l likely to reach for a cream or curl activator to help with clumping and definition. But again, it really depends on your hairs needs.

[@ritabrandow1318]

What is a curl activator please?

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

@@ritabrandow1318 That's a great question! I will say a big part of it is marketing. You could argue it's another word for a curl cream. The differences I've found though are that curl activators tend to be slightly lighter weight. They're also more likely to have hold ingredients. A lot of curl creams do have these as well, but not all of them. Whereas all curl activators I've tried have them. I would also say that curl activators MAIN purpose is definition whereas curl creams tend give you both moisture and definition. Not to say that curl activators don't give you moisture. They definitely do. Curl creams just tend to give you more. I hope that helps!

[@ritabrandow1318]

​@Linas_lovelylocks thank you, and now I understand more

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

@@ritabrandow1318 You're welcome ☺

[@jonathanteixeira2320]

Its so true. Its what look you want and like more

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

Definitely! Everyone is different and that's OK ☺️

[@carlyvickers9827]

My wavy bits did that so I added a protien mask in and it really helped

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

Thanks for the input! I do need to do another protein treatment. It's probably about time. Thank you for the reminder!

[@madzd1333]

I've wanted this brush for ages! The price for me in Australia is $50, cheapest one I've found :( The results are beautiful though! Your hair is STUNNING!

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

Oh no! That's a bummer... Sorry to hear its so expensive there. But thank you for the compliments ☺️

[@loribecchi8819]

Amazon has a knock off. Looks just like it and works the same

[@mandylovesflowers]

I LOVE your nail polish color! Very mermaidy (which is probably not an actual word 😂). Also love the brick red lipstick. Super flattering on you!

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

Thank you! That's so sweet of you ☺ the nail polish is from a brand called Mooncat. It's one of my favorites.

[@mandylovesflowers]

@@Linas_lovelylocks Nice! I’ve been meaning to order from them! I’ve been eyeing their magnetics, especially.

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

@@mandylovesflowers the magnetics are so cool and a lot of fun. I have two of them. 😁

Just brought the brush be interesting to see what ut does for me

[@SadiaArif-e8r]

Is it with boar bristles? Then how is it vegan?

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

The bristles are imitation boar bristle made from plastic. They aren't real boar hair, but have a very similar texture and a similar effect on the hair.

[@curlsbynat9763]

I bought the bouncecurl brush. I'm not happy with it. It made my curls look weird.

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

Really? Do you know which one you got? They have two now. Good to know though.

[@daileighnovember]

A brush is a brush regardless yeah havong multiple/more bristles & diff heights of bristle sure anyone whose hair can erap around a handle can wrap around any handle etc and i mean vegan are u eating it(? Lol anyway beautiful hair thanks for the vid! I looove ur mermaid dolphin … thing back there!!

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

I actually disagree. I've found that different brushes do make my hair behave differently. I think it comes down to how picky you are and what exactly your goals are for your hair. Some brushes give more definition while others give more volume. And with handle styling, shape does matter. I did a video a while back comparing two brushes and using the handle to wrap around. Especially with my looser texture, if the brush handle isn't rounded enough, then they turn out really wonky. That being said, there really are a lot of great brushes out there and nobody needs this brush. Other's work just as well. Mainly I like this one because of the grooves in the side. It helps create clumps that aren't too big or too small which helps me get more volume. As for the vegan aspect, I always mention it because it does matter to some people and I like to give them that info in case it does. Also in this case, the vegan boar bristles tend to cause less damage than real boar bristles. So they are nice to have, even if you aren't vegan.

[@OhHeyItsAlexis]

I'd already ordered my brush, I just wanted to see what results others were getting. I wasn't ready for this. I would climb the tallest mountain, scale the sky itself straight to heaven, kill god, claim his holy mantle and take the celestial throne if it meant I had the power to make my hair look like that. I would collapse the universe back into a singularity if it meant that even for a second, before time itself stopped existing, I had that much body and volume.

[@Linas_lovelylocks]

I think this is the single best comment and compliment I've ever received 😂Thank you for making my day. Technique and tools definitely make a difference, but I will say that I was definitely blessed with good hair genes, though I didn't always think so.
