The Benefits of Boar Bristle Brushes

👩‍🦱
A boar bristle brush is made up of very closely packed, stiff boar bristles. What sets apart a boar bristle brush is that a regular brush is designed to detangle the hair. A boar bristle brush, which only has 100% boar bristles, is not designed to detangle the hair, but rather, it's designed as a styling and health maintenance tool for the hair. So how does it do this?
First of all, because it's made up of literal hairs, albeit much stiffer hairs than ours, and you're brushing your own hair with it, it does a really, really cool, unique job at cleansing the hair and smoothing down the hair cuticles, removing dust and debris. It's basically the historical equivalent of dry shampoo, because it does such a good job at picking up your scalp oils, bringing them away from your scalp, removing any visible greasiness. And then, as you bring the brush down the length of your hair, it draws those oils down the lengths of your hair and conditions your hair.

I use boar bristle when I style my kinky curly hair wet. It helps smooth and organize the curl pattern so it looks sleek and wavy when I use gel/leave in conditioner. Zero flyaways!

[@faithk1892]

It would be nice to see a video on how to care for, clean, and maintain the brush. I have 2 brushes one is more stiff than the other. I love the smell of the boar bristles. Wonderful ❤

[@schoolingdiana9086]

I had one as a child. My mom washed it in dishwasher (hand washing) detergent once a month and let it air dry. It lasted for decades. I stopped using it when blow dry styling with a round brush became popular. No idea what she did with it but it wasn’t worn out. And I mean she used it on me from at least age 5 and I discontinued using it in my early 20s.

[@user-xi5xv8ht6g]

I boil a pot of water, once it cools a little dip the brush in and use a come to clean it. It will make the brush a little softer and the bristles weaken over time, but you will get all of the gunk out. Mine usually last about a year or so. I use one for products, and one for regular brushing.

[@ShoulderMonster]

After washing, I'd leave mine face down to avoid water pooling in the base holes. (I also clean it face down as well, never submerging the base, just in case.)

[@faithk1892]

@@user-xi5xv8ht6g yes that's what I'm at least trying to do. I wash it and when I brush my hair in the morning I have a metal pick I get the hair out. Theres just times where theres deep stuff in there that would be good to get out.

I use it all the time and it does not rip my hair out. I like it.

[@Yoyocreative]

I started using one after finding one of your video tutorials! My hair is extremely thin, wavy, and fluffy/frizzy. And low porous on top of that! (Meaning it barely absorbs any product I apply.) It's to the point where multiple hair stylists had no idea how to make it less frizzy. The historical method is helping a lot! I can spread out the grease onto the dry parts, and then I use a hair powder to absorb the excess grease from my roots. And a bonus for me is that the boar bristle brush can be used very effectively to detangle too 🤭 Yes, it's not what they're made for, but it's perfect for my super thin hair 😊

[@ksy4747]

My fine thin hair HATE it. I bought it for myself specifically as a recommendation for fine hair, but it makes my hair worse. It works on my kids hair though, so I keep it. The only brush that brushes my older ones thick hair without her crying in pain. She likes to keep her hair loose and wild, but it tangles alot, so this brush is a lifesaver for that.

[@TheLavenderLover]

@@ksy4747 I have fine thin hair too but started using Rhassoul clay to wash it. It really helped. Now the boar bristle brush works well with it at night before bed or in the morning before I braid it.

[@zoescott779]

I encouraged my partner to get one for his beard, and the improvement is incredible for day to day! People really don't realize for hair care they should have a comb and brush for detangling and a comb and brush for styling (that's a big part of why there is a small side and a large side to combs! But certain hair types need wider teeth on a comb than the "traditional" ones)

[@Cat-no8ts]

Have always used a boar bristle brush..in fact, I have two different kinds of boar bristle brushes. One I use to style my hair, and the second one, I use in my nightly brush routine.

[@kayc_x3]

For the same reason a boar bristle is good at dispersing oils down your hair shaft, it is also good for dispersing dry shampoo and reducing the white cast it can cause

[@k_tubbs]

I've just started to regrow my hair. It's just over 3 inches now. Since it's so short the oil has nowhere to go. So I've been using a boar bristle brush to help remove some of the excess. When I had hair my mom had taught me to use head and shoulders every day. Every day! At least now it can grow out healthy. I'm only washing it when it needs it now and I use a small amount of castor oil on the very ends after I shower. I'm using a normal shampoo AND a conditioner! Lol. I'm making sure my hair is healthy and happy so I can be happy too. To be clear I willingly got a buzz cut because my hair was too difficult to manage. I didn't get sick or anything. I loved the way it looked. But I miss being able to style it so I'm growing it out and I'm going to learn to keep it healthy so I enjoy having hair this time. 👍 I also comb my hair focusing on my scalp. It's short enough that I can use a regular comb. I find that helps reach the scalp better than the boar bristle brush.

It's not that bad to shampoo every day, But you need to use a conditioner afterwards to replace the protective oils. I have to wash my hair daily because I work in the dust and dirt, but I always wash my hair with shampoo and then add conditioner and leave it in my hair while I wash the rest of my body, and then rinse out the conditioner just before I leave the shower.

As someone who has greasy, densely populated hair, I always found boar bristle brushes were the only thing that worked for me. It's so cool to find out why!!

[@Timerooy]

How to have densely populated hair??? Please.

[@kelseyv527]

I also love the denman boar bristle brush that also detangles with its separate flexible bristles throughout the brush that ever so gently detangles. The combs I’ve used have been the wide tooth combs like the curved double teeth that’s shaped like a hand with a single handle. I would use a boar bristle brush once the hair is detangled and even oiled since it’s not always easily detangled unless this is done first. Maybe just the perimeter in aid of styling before washing? I’m washing less and less as I don’t have an overproduction of oils and only wash when I oil the hair. My scalp is never the problem, but I like to cleanse the scalp so I don’t accumulate dead skin cells on the scalp and thus clog the follicles. I believe boar bristle brushes can aid in keeping the scalp healthy too if used towards it. Thanks for the inspiring video!

[@CallmeCalypso]

Boar bristle brushes do not bring oil away from my scalp, it just spreads it out from just my scalp area onto the rest of my hair which makes it a greasy mess, that attracts dust because the grease is sticky. It's far from acting like a dry shampoo, in fact it's the opposite. Over brushing your scalp also results in excess oil production.

[@chelseajackman7730]

If your hair oils are sticky you might have a different problem on your hands. Don't shampoo every day. Don't apply conditioner to your roots, including leave-in conditioner. Wash with warm water, rinse with tepid to cool water. Detangle with desired tool (brush, comb, etc) then boar bristle brush once dry. The old rule of thumb used to be a hundred strokes a night specifically for this purpose. Sticky hair oil could be an indicator of a health issue or problem with sebum production. Recommend seeing a dermatologist.

[@CallmeCalypso]

@@chelseajackman7730 i don't have a problem if I don't use a boar bristle brush on greasy unwashed hair and leave it that way. I wash twice a week, never use hot water, don't do the things you mentioned, use a leave in on the lengths only and detangle while it's soaking wet with a wide tooth comb and air dry. I don't dry brush at all except on rare occasions when I oil my hair on purpose, or am trying to pull my natural oils through my roots, both before washing. My hair is naturally wavy and since doing this routine, it's gotten healthier, fuller and longer than it's been since I was a teen. My routine works great for me, there's no reason to see a dermatologist.

[@chelseajackman7730]

@@CallmeCalypso Then don't complain about how greasy/sticky your hair gets? Your defensive reply seems like you're perfectly fine with the way things are, which belies your original complaints. As I said, sticky sebum probably warrants a trip to the dermatologist, but if you're fine with your hair oil being more viscous than it should be, stop complaining about it on the internet.

[@chelseajackman7730]

Also, it just landed on me that you said boar bristles don't bring oils away from your scalp, it just spreads it down the lengths of your hair. That's exactly what it's for, sweet pea. Your natural hair oils are MEANT to condition the rest of your hair which is dead keratin. The boar bristles distribute the oils your scalp produces across the lengths of your strands. That's LITERALLY what this practice is for. And I repeat, sticky scalp secretions are a PROBLEM. Distributing your scalp secretions should be helping your hair, and since it's not, there's something wrong with your scalp secretion. But of course don't mind the hair professional and the functional medicine professional. That would be silly.

I have never been able to figure out why boar bristle brushes don't work for my hair. I am a long haired man by the way. With a dense beard and for my beard boar bristle brushes work great to style it and make it more even. But as I said, I could never figure out why I could not make it work on my hair.

I was always under the impression that boar bristle brushes could cause a lot of damage! Are they safe for finer straight hair?

[@aleksandramakari]

Yes they are. Actually your hair should be easier to brush too. Just make sure you feel the bristles or find a nylon reinforced brush. Not the kinds with the colored tips, because in my experience the boar is too short and soft. Conair has good ones. Mason Pearson if you're rich.

[@whatafriendwehaveinjesus5354]

[@dianemitchell5142]

[@alinefaure3646]

I have fine, straight hair and I can use the boar bristle brush only on the day of the wash, as my hair looks greasy after brushing with it. Even on day 2 after washing, when you cannot yet see the oil.

[@CJ_536]

They should not be used for detangling. Detangle first with a Wet Brush. Cheap and awesome. Then use a 100% board bristle brush, with wider spaced bristles, gently going from. Top to bottom. I have medium straight/barely wavy hair and I use my boar bristle brush after my diy dry shampoo to clean out grease and cornstarch. It has really improved the health of my ends and gains me an extra day or two between shampoos.

[@angiadcock8196]

These are great tools for styling. However because they are so stiff, if your hair is prone to breakage for any reason you need to be careful. Slow, methodical strokes and never use it on damp hair. Your hair is more vulnerable damp than it is totally wet or completely dried.

The BEST hair conditioner anyone can ever have is your own oils from Your scalp, and your hair oil is the best oil that keeps the hair from environmental damage and dirt.... They've made brushes from the hair and manes of horses, pigs, and I'm sure all sorts of other animals. But I use a comb in the shower to detangle my hair so when I'm done washing and conditioning it all I have to do is run fingers through it as it starts to dry. My hair IS very curly so as it's starts to dry then I'll use a brush briefly. But no plastic brushes ever as they will cause split ends and severe tangles......

[@PattyMardis]

Ok so help me out here please. I have a lot of hair! Its densely packed on my scalp and its also quite long. I'd also say my hair strands are a medium thickness and are wavy. Now with all that in mind, I had a boar brush when I was young and I have to say that I could never get it to actually brush my scalp. I don't know if my brush was just cheaply made and the bristles were not long enough (iirc the bristles were maybe about 1cm long) or if there's a technique to using the boar bristle brush that I'm unaware of. I would try brushing from my forehead to the back but I'd stop feeling the bristles touch my scalp about an inch away from my hairline. Or I'd part my hair down the middle to brush it down but again I'd stop feeling it less than an inch from the part. Can someone more knowledgeable than I clue me in on where I went wrong? Was it the technique? Do I just have too much hair? Was my brush just a crappy design?

From your description I think you would be best friends with a horn comb. Horns are 100 keratin, it'd reach and spread oil and comb out your debris.
