One of the best things about boar and boar-like bristle brushes is that they do a good job of conditioning your hair. Eaddy notes that these brushes "can naturally condition hair by transferring oils from the roots to ends and help add shine by simultaneously closing the cuticle and smoothing the hair."

Eaddy recommends using a boar bristle brush as a pre-shampoo treatment. "The boar brush won't actually replace your shampoo, but it does contribute to the hair-washing process," she explains. "As the hair is brushed, the bristles capture any lint or dirt found in the hair. The next time you're due for a wash, pre-cleanse your hair with a few strokes of your boar bristle brush."

A boar brush is also handy to add the finishing touches to your hairstyle. "Boar bristle brushes are hands down the best tool for creating polished strands, since they are an effective yet gentle styling and grooming tool that offers a finishing touch on any smooth style. The soft bristles glide easier over your strands and can also help reduce static and frizz," Eaddy says.
