A hair brush is one of the most traditional tools available for styling your hair. The importance of choosing the right brush cannot be over-emphasised. Boar bristle brush and nylon bristle brush (also thermal round brush) are two of the most common options available in the market. Which of these do you choose to achieve your desired outcome?

Boar Bristle Brush vs Nylon Bristle Brush - Which One to Use?

What is a Boar Bristle Brush?

A boar bristle brush, also known as natural bristles brush, is one of the most popular types of brushes. It is ideal for people with straight or fine hair, as well as those with a sensitive scalp. The boar bristle brush is also recommended for those with unruly hair. It delivers ultra-gentle styling while minimising breakage. If you have curly, thick, or naturally wavy hair, you can use a natural boar bristle brush to minimise frizz and smoothen your strands.

In general, boar brushes are more expensive. But they are also more durable so they tend to last longer than synthetic brushes.

The bristles of a natural brush are ultra-soft so they can produce more gloss and shine. It is effective in dispersing the natural oils from root to tip. If you want a polished look, you can turn to boar brush for your styling needs.

What is a Nylon Bristle Brush?

A nylon bristle brush, also known as synthetic brush, is called as such because it uses nylon as the main material. In some cases, plastic is used for the brush bristles.

Why do you need to choose nylon bristle brush? It does not cause as much static as natural boar bristle brushes do. It is, therefore, ideal for detangling. Nylon bristle brushes are also great for quick drying and for achieving a bouncier blowout.

If body and volume are what you are looking for, then you need to opt for synthetic brushes. Nylon bristle brushes are able to retain more heat. If you want to curl your hair and keep it curled for longer, then you would want to invest in this type of brush.

    I bought a natural boar brush but the bristles are too weak to get to the scalp .When I use it I feels that I am only ‘brushing the outer surface of my hair’- It is not touching my scalp.
