Do Boar Bristle Brushes Really Work? And Why?

Most of you have probably heard of using a boar bristle brush or may even have one. But the real question is do you know why boar bristles are great for your hair and why the right type of boar bristle makes all the difference?

Boar bristle brushes are designed to help smooth the cuticle of the hair down. This is important because when a cuticle is raised it can create tangles in your hair and tangles can lead to hair breakage. Along with this when a cuticle is raised hair shows less shine. Think of your hair's cuticle as a piece of tape on a table if the tape is not laid flat on the table the color of the table is a bit dull or not as sharp. Now if you lay that piece of tape flat and smooth it out onto the table the color of the table is clear and very sharp.

Not all boar bristles are created equal. You want to make sure to know what to look for when choosing the right boar bristle brush as boar blends do not create the same results.

Check out my video above as I show you the sister brush to the Wet Brush. The Shine Brush is designed with Mongolian boar and Intellifex bristles to not only detangle hair but to also help lay cuticle flat increasing shine. And for those who use a style extending spray this is a perfect match to use with each application.
