Hey everyone.. Just wondering - How many of you use a 'boar bristle brush'? Do you recommend one for a girl trying to grow her hair, and why? What is the best/most popular make?
There are Mason Pearson brushes being sold on Amazon. I see they're rather pricey, but I'd be willing to invest in one if they're as good as you guys say.. So yeah, what do you think?  -------------  Trying to grow out layers for a more matched, and uniformed style :D

I rarely use it because I rarely brush my hair, and I usually only use a boar bristle brush when my hair is straightened or when I want to get it straight/wavy like because it takes out my curls. I don't know anything about Mason Pearson ones, the ones I use is by Scunci.
" The purpose of a boar bristle brush is not to detangle hair. In fact, these brushes should never be used on knotty hair. Because of the density of the bristles, tangles will get caught in the brush. Excessive use in tangly hair will result in considerable unnecessary breakage.
Instead, boar bristle brushes are designed to clean, polish and condition hair. The densely-packed, fibrous bristles attract dust and dirt, brushing them out of the hair. For those committed to http://hair-care.suite101.com/article.cfm/water_only_hair_washing - water-only or natural haircare, the brush becomes a primary method of removing foreign particles from the hair." ------------- |
