What Are Boar Bristles and How to Use Them?

Boar bristle comes from wild boars that roam freely in mountain forests. These boars are not farmed but live in the wild, where the changing climate strengthens their bristles, making them coarser and tougher.

How to Use Boar Bristle?

Boar bristles are widely applied in hairbrushes and climbing brushes. For climbers, the bristles offer two main advantages:

1.Increased Friction: They provide extra grip, allowing climbers to hold rock surfaces more securely.

2.Obstacle Removal: The climbing brush sweeps away dust, dirt, and debris, keeping routes clear and safe.

What Are the Key Features?

1.Highly durable and long-lasting.

2.Gentle on surfaces—won’t damage rock holds.

3.Cleans effectively without harm, absorbing water and oil naturally.

4.Flexible and strong, perfect for tight spots.

Important: All boar bristles are sourced ethically from naturally deceased wild boars.

What Are the Diameters of the Bristle?

For premium hairbrushes, we select the roots of natural boar bristles.

Very stiff bristles: 0.28-0.30 mm diameter.

Medium to high-end bristles: 0.23-0.25 mm.

Standard bristles: 0.16-0.18 mm.

The thicker the bristle, the stiffer it is.

Why Are Stiffer Bristles Used for Hairbrushes?

If bristles are too soft, they won’t penetrate deep enough to stimulate the scalp or remove excess oils and dirt. Stiffer boar bristles ensure a more effective massage and deep cleaning experience.

How to Choose Bristles: Boar vs Pig?

Some vendors sell boar bristles that are actually pig bristles—often taken from the neck and back, which are typically harder.

Wild boar bristles are naturally tougher than regular pig hair, which can come from various body parts.

What Are the Benefits of Boar Bristle Hairbrushes?

Boar bristle brushes stimulate more scalp points, activating hair follicles and glands. This boosts blood circulation at the roots, improving nutrient delivery to your hair. They also remove dandruff, clear dirt, and smooth the hair cuticle, enhancing shine.

Why Are Pure Boar Bristle Hairbrushes Better Than Nylon-Mixed Brushes?

While nylon-mixed boar bristle brushes offer more firmness, they can feel rougher, especially for those with fine hair.

Users of pure boar bristle brushes report smoother hair, thanks to the flexible yet firm texture of natural bristles, which reduces friction damage.

Boar bristles mimic human hair texture, unlike synthetic nylon, making them gentler and less damaging.

Hair Loss from Boar Bristle Brushes: Myth or Fact?

Tests show no difference in hair fall between a wooden comb and a boar bristle brush. However, boar brushes tend to trap shed hairs, giving the illusion of more hair loss, when it’s not the case.
