The secret to making your curly locks look beautiful lies in styling them right. Unfortunately, not all of us have our own private hairstylists to do our hair every day. Curly hair seems unmanageable with its undefined coily strands, dryness, frizzy tangles, and itchy scalp.
Get a salon-worthy blowout in under 30 minutes.
Boar bristle brushes have bristles made out of 100 percent boar (a tusked Eurasian wild pig) hair rather than synthetics like nylon. They're suitable for all hair types, but Uribe says they're especially great for naturally textured hair, curly hair, and/or coarse hair, because regular use can enhance natural shine and volume by evenly distributing oils and gently lifting hair at the roots, resulting in a fuller and healthier-looking mane.
Offering the best of both worlds (natural boar and nylon bristles), you really can't go wrong with the Cadillac of all hair brushes. It's a luxury pick for sure, but one that hairstylists like Uribe say is worth the expense. It not only looks chic, but it's well-constructed and holds up to the rigors of daily brushing.
"Boar bristle hairbrushes offer an array of benefits for hair care, too, says celebrity hair and makeup designer Emilio Uribe. "Their natural bristles effectively distribute the scalp's oils, providing a natural conditioning that moisturizes dry hair, reduces frizz, and adds shine," he explains. "Boar bristles are also known for their frizz-eliminating properties, leading to smoother, more manageable hair."
