Three Reasons You Need to Use a Boar Bristle Brush

Hello. Still watching. I turned my 30 day grow into a 60 day grow and now into a 90 day grow before I find a professional to shape and trim my beard. I made the rookie mistake early on of raising my neckline too high so I’ve lowered the neck and raised the cheek line so the barber has something to work with. I haven’t tried your products yet but will be ordering soon. So many to choose from. Thanks for the great videos. I’ve learned a lot.

[@damiensanders670]

Love the channel, currently growing my beard and really enjoying the inspiration and motivation, cheers guys!

[@Beardbrand]

Love your comment! Keep on growing and let us know if you need any more inspiration!

[@bmctoonz]

I bought one of these brushes recently. It's absolutely brilliant. It's encouraged a lot of hair growth. It has also helped after beard oil has been applied!

[@Beardbrand]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Beardbrand]

Good to hear the brushes work well for you too!

[@bmctoonz]

Beardbrand It's really good. It controls the direction I want my beard to flow too.

I have a boar bristle brush and it's doing the job perfect... Thank you for the helpful tips that I'm not aware of... Beard and proud...

[@seattlesfuseattle2501]

I used that in the growing of my beard and it caused a wave that progressively got worse the more i used it. Now i use my wide tooth wood comb only and the wave is almost gone finaly. Wont make this mistake again

[@charleskaplan6315]

Good video. Don't have a beard, but use a boar bristle brush every day on my hair. Since I am attempting to grow my hair longer, brushing every day not only keeps my hair and scalp healthy, but allows me to shampoo less frequently.

[@Beardbrand]

Great to hear it's working out for you. Yeah, these brushes have multiple uses 👌 👌

Happy to help man!

[@thechartmaverick]

New subscriber. Great video! I’m in my 4th grow phase because barbers kept cutting into my beard deeper than I wanted and I had to keep starting over. I use to avoid the boar brushes because they hurt my skin but I’ve gotten used to it.

[@fleotusbing]

I love boar bristle brushes....a product that uniquely lives-up to the hype! But get a quality one, such as BB-- this is definitely a get-what-you-pay-for product. In fact, get two-- they work wonders on my dog's and cat's fuzz as well (seriously)....spreads their natural oils just as it does with a beard 👍

[@Beardbrand]

Good to hear they work well on animals too!

[@oliverk191]

I have a thick paddle boar hair brush they are ideal and great for taming unruly hairs

[@cpmow831]

#4 - it feels REALLY good...

[@MattP-BandB]

Another alternative for those living a vegan lifestyle is a wood bristle brush. Like natural boars hair, they will distribute sebum properly as well as beard oil/balm. Also, they do not create static. Just a suggestion. Peace and Love.

[@Beardbrand]

Thanks for the helpful tip!

[@danbenfield3260]

You can also get cactus bristle brushes.

[@littlebear5034]

Tested boar bristle brushes and they tend to ride on top of my beard never reaching skin

[@bloodredroses88]

Vegans can still use boar brushes, the boars are looked after very well. You can always contact the company and ask about their policies and where they source the boar hair from. A lot of companies will happily send you the info. My gf is a vegan and when I buy animal products I always email the company and so far I've always gotten the legal documents sent to me proving the animals are looked after. As long as you don't buy products from dodgy companies wool and boar hair are very animal friendly.

[@mladenjerkic6105]

Dude!! I didn't even knew you are growing you're beard out again! It looks amazing! Sry for my English! Greetings from Croatia!

Your English was just fine. Thanks for the support man!

[@mladenjerkic6105]

Beardbrand Thanks for replying, I'm a huge fan! LOVE YOUR WORK!!

[@rockbiter7608]

If you're vegan try Sisal Hair Brushes. They are supposed to be the best vegan option. Havn't tried them yet. But I'm looking for boar bristle alternatives myself.

[@rayschmidt821]

What about combing your beard multiple times a day with a Kent comb. How much is too much?

[@manvirsingh9185]

Feel like it breaks off a lot of hair. Do I continue?

[@user-mj2mv8qz8f]

Yes 😂

[@ah-shuh-lee7005]

Your beard is amazing. I am sold on using a boar bristle brush.

[@josephbrown3647]

Should you regularly wash the brush? As using oil and balms. Sorry its first time I've grown it out properly

[@rajondodo]

so if i have patchy hair on the sides, brushing the patchy parts will help grow hair on that parts ?

[@enemydown.gaming]

minoxidil and bristle is the best way to fulfill your patchy beard.

[@JimA-pp2nu]

NO ! It's genetics. Period. No product can make your hair grow

[@TOMENTIS]

I was thinking of getting one a while back. But my comb was working well (still love that comb) so I said "Nah, I'm okay with this." Still kinda wanted one, made up my mind then. Getting one asap!

[@Beardbrand]

Great choice man!

[@Z11yad]

As a Muslim I can’t use pig bristles. Is the the ones made of horse hair is good replacement?

Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem, but there's still some time until the shirts are done.

[@ravent398]

My husband doesn't like using his bore bristle brush because he says it's scratchy on his skin, are they all like that? Or could it mean it's a low quality brush?

[@sunilpandram8319]

Thanks for sharing this information to us and your guidance about Beard....

[@Beardbrand]

We're always happy to help!

[@henrythompson4235]

Yeah but do u use a hard brush or solder brush?

[@asammushtaq956]

Can it help straighten or if not, make a curly beard more presentable at least???

[@Beardbrand]

Yeah, it'll definitely help straighten it out with time. -Josh

[@MFDReesha]

I am using my boar brush everyday and loving it... however. Almost every time I would find some lose facial hair in the brush, so it is encouraging me to think, that by doing so I am damaging my beard. Pls is this normal?

[@Beardbrand]

It's nothing to worry about. Beard hair, and hair in general, falls out every once in a while. That's mainly just the dead or damaged strands, so you didn't need those anyway. -Josh

[@luisrocha2460]

My beard is still very sparse but growing. Won't a brush be unhelpful in my case? Won't it damage and split the hairs?

[@JordanThomasRichards]

Wooden bristle brush vs wooden comb? I've always used a wide toothed comb to work with whichever beard oil I'm using and had no issues, afaik at least. 5-6 inch beard if it's worth noting.

[@Beardbrand]

It's more of a personal preference. Combs help guide the hair, but brushes get to the root and stimulate the hair follicles.

[@derkwest]

@@Beardbrand could I use both, like comb the oil in good and before putting style balm in give it a good once over with the boar brush?

[@19841mlee]

Does the brush pull the hair out since it’s finer?

[@craigfletcher8668]

Great video brother!

[@Beardbrand]

Thanks!

[@kartarbhogal]

I use a brush with sisal/cactus hair. My hair is also very kinky/curly. Would me brushing it everyday help train my hair so it would ecentually become straighter? I just really hate how scruffy it looks currently.

[@joshuapal1184]

What boar bristle brush would be best for kinda thick straight hair?

[@JohnnyBlaze710]

How do you clean a boar brush?

[@MattP-BandB]

Johnny Garcia personally I use beard shampoo once a month. Use warm water, tiny bit of shampoo and gently agitate the bristles. Rinse well and allow to dry bristle-side down so excess water does not seep back into the wooden handle thus causing it to swell and lose bristles. Works for me.

[@Beardbrand]

Dang Matt, you're all over these comments today. Thanks for stepping up and helping out the community with us!

[@washimbond007]

Does it stimulate beard growth ??

[@enemydown.gaming]

no, if you want to grow or have a beard use minoxidil and dermaroll.

[@washimbond007]

[@markcress9636]

I use a Kent boar brush and Lumber Yard oil on my very curly beard. Question: does regular brushing help train the beard to grow in a downward direction?

[@Beardbrand]

Yeah, brushing or combing your hair downward will definitely help it grow that way.

[@surajsakthi9982]

Hai..Like i didn't get this product in India.can u suggest me or give me the direct link to buy this product.

[@gks210199]

Could I use a horsehair Brush? I remember my grandad used to use a shoe-brush made of horse hair for both his hair and facial hair. I am assuming it would still give me some the same benefits.

[@Beardbrand]

So, with this we would say you'll get a much better result if you use a boar bristle brush. It'll pick up much more of the hair due to the coarse feel of the boar bristles. - Jack

[@gks210199]

Thanks Jack :)

[@tom.b4461]

Is this brush also in a lighter colour with the etched words not being in black or have i been fucked over and bought a fake one?

[@TonyTK1]

I just bought the beginners kit that includes a pocket comb. Are there any reasons to use a comb instead of a brush? Is the brush more useful after a few months of growth or is this brush superior to the comb in most situations?

[@Beardbrand]

The comb is more portable and does an excellent job of helping to tame your beard. The brush is an awesome addition to helping keep your beard straight and neat, but it does a different job than the comb (plus it's not as portable as the pocket comb) - Jack

[@kevinceniceros1690]

They work good for slicking back the sides as well, Beardbrand; it gives a classic look, too.

[@hemangteotia6284]

Yup 👍 very true Eric it not only good for beard it also helpful for body . 👍✌️ BEARDBRAND ✌️👍

[@Beardbrand]

It's useful for everything! Thanks for the tip.

[@loteozero9948]

Hey Eric, I have an aloe vera shampoo and I was wondering if it would be good to use it on my beard. What do you think about that?

[@Beardbrand]

Most shampoos aren't designed for the sensitive and wiry hairs in your beard. You may be able to use it a few times, but it would result and beard dandruff or flakes. The fact that it is aloe vera may make it better suited slightly, but your best bet is to go with a beard wash. -Josh

[@loteozero9948]

I'll take the advice, thanks for answer!

[@thedegmeister2437]

Hey Eric...great vid today...thanks! I've gone back and forth whith comb and boars brush because I keep hearing conflicting opinions about using a brush. The primary one is that at a certain length it pulls out the beard hair. What's your thoughts on that?

[@Beardbrand]

Glad you liked the video. Combs are more meant to shape your beard and straighten out the curls. Whereas brushes are used to stimulate the hair follicles and promote the natural oils your beard produces. Hope that helps you. -Josh

[@duckbit9657]

What's the difference between Boar and Bear brushes?

[@Beardbrand]

Not sure bear bristle brushes exist.

[@MattP-BandB]

Dude, bears have fur. Kinda hard to make a brush outta fur I would think.

[@Rakz108]

How do you wash the Boar Bristle Brush ? I just rinse it on warm water

How mush should i brush my beard cauz i hear that you must brush only two times a day max and others say brush it in any moment of the day ?

You can actually brush as many times as you want. Now, you don't NEED to brush too many times every single day, but if you're brushing around three to four times per day, that would be totally fine. - Jack

How much beard wax do I use with a full beard alot alittle what is too much?

[@MattP-BandB]

richard witt Richard it really depends on the length of your beard and the amount of hold you desire. A general rule of thumb is to begin with an amount equal to the size of a dime and work up from there if you need to. Hope this helps. Peace

[@Beardbrand]

Matt is right. You'll want to start small, then work your way up. Another measurement you can use enough to fit on your pinky.

Would you recommend a comb or BB brush for general maintenance of your beard?

Brandon Balanski You can purchase excellent ones at Beardbrand.com
