What is Boar Bristle and Its Use?
Boar bristle refers to the hair obtained from wild boars, which are not raised by farmers but live in the wild, often in deep forests. Due to the variable climate in the mountains where these boars live, their bristles tend to be coarser and harder.
How to use boar bristle?
Generally, wild boar bristles are used in hairbrushes and climbing brushes. In climbing, the bristles help in two key ways:
1. Increased Friction: The bristles provide extra grip, assisting climbers in better holding onto rock surfaces.
2. Obstacle Removal: The climbing brush can clear obstacles like dirt or debris, ensuring a smooth climbing route.

What are the key features?
1. Durable, long-lasting material.
2. Won't damage the cargo hold or rocks.
3. Boar bristles can clean surfaces without causing harm and can effectively absorb water or oil.
4. Strong and flexible, suitable for hard-to-reach areas.
Important: All wild boar bristles are sourced from naturally deceased boars.
What are the diameters of the bristle?
For high-quality hairbrushes, we carefully select the roots of natural boar bristles.
The bristle diameter is typically between 0.28-0.30 mm for very stiff bristles.
Medium-to-high-end bristles usually range from 0.23-0.25 mm, and standard-quality bristles are around 0.16-0.18mm.
The coarser the bristle diameter, the stiffer the boar bristle.

Why Are Stiffer Bristles for hairbrush?
Stiffer bristles are essential because if the bristles are too soft, even if densely arranged, they will be ineffective at penetrating through hair to reach the scalp for massage or to remove oils and dirts.
How to choose bristles: boar vs pig?
In terms of raw material selection, some stores sell boar bristles from the neck and back of pigs (harder bristles), while others may use regular pig hair from various parts of the body.
Additionally, there is a distinction between regular pigs and wild boars.

What Are the Benefits of Boar Bristle Hairbrushes?
Boar bristle brushes stimulate more points on the scalp, activating sweat glands, hair follicles, and acupoints on the head.
This helps promote blood circulation at the hair roots, improving hair nutrition. It can also effectively remove dandruff and dirt, and smooth out the cuticle layers of hair strands.
Why is Pure Boar Bristle Hairbrush Better Than Nylon-Mixed Boar Bristle Hairbrushes for Most People?
Boar bristle brushes mixed with nylon feel firmer because nylon is stiffer than natural bristles.
These brushes are generally more suitable for people with thick, coarse hair.
However, Reviews from clients using pure boar hairbrushes mentioned that their pure boar bristle brush made their hair smoother compared to a mixed one. This makes sense—boar bristles are both firm and flexible, and their tightly arranged bristles help smooth out frizz.
Additionally, the texture of boar bristles is closer to that of human hair, minimizing friction damage.
This is similar to how 3,000 hair strand hairbrush can peacefully coexist without causing friction damage.
On the other hand, nylon is a synthetic material that doesn't match human hair, so using a nylon-mixed brush can still cause some friction and hair damage.
Therefore, pure boar bristle brushes generally leave the hair feeling smoother than nylon-mixed ones.

Hair loss from boar hairbrushes, true or false?
Our testers used a wooden comb and counted the number of hairs that fell out. And on the next day, they used a boar bristle brush and counted again. The number of hairs that fell out was nearly identical. The difference is that a boar bristle brush tends to trap fallen hairs in the bristles, creating the illusion that it pulls out more hair instead of dropping the hair to the floor.
