Is this brush made from 100% real boar bristles, and not a synthetic or nylon that will melt under heat?

Not plastic, as for Boar hair maybe... But for sure not plastic, organic 100%

No. These other answers are incorrect. There is quite a high percent of nylon/synthetic bristles present, I was extremely disappointed to find this out and verified by burning the bristles, they melted.

The handle is made of plastic; the bristles are brass. I was leery of having plastic around a hot grill but I think because of the angle of the brush it is less of a concern. You wouldn't want to lay it on anything hot. So far I like the brush. Go ahead and get it!

It's a real brush from sigma they are great. They were worth the money and I bought a set for my friend who loves hers as well.

You know when I bought it I just assumed they were boar but now that I look at it I think they're plastic? I don't know for certain though. They're certainly stiffer than any boar bristle brush I've ever used which makes me think it must be synthetic. Hope that helps!

Bristles relatively stiff. I think that they are natural -- I.e., boar's hair.

After continued use the bristles on this brush will either spread out or compress. Ii agree that you should be waiting for your pans to cool first, but this brush has never let me down. However, the bristles and the brush are made of nylon (or some sort of plastic), not silicon, so theoretically they will melt at high temperatures

I don't know waht mean by 'fake'. I've used this product in my professional dog grooming with great results on everything from pugs to german shepards. My entire family has at least one of these in our homes for cats and dogs of 3 different breeds and hair growth. We love it! It takes out a lot of hair and leaves the coat smooth and free of loose hair. The animals don't seem to mind it al all. If you're tired of vacuming several time a day you should get this.

I'm not sure what bristles are made of, but they are soft. I like mine. I don't use the other attachments, just the brush one and I love it.

I can't say with certainty whether the brush is authentic, but it seems to be very high quality and I'm happy with it.

Great brush, for my straight medium length hair. Dries my very thick fine hair quickly, leaving it silky and smooth. My hair takes a long time to dry and most brushes start to melt in the first week of use. This brush has not melted and is very kind to my hair. The bristles are thin, there are no nubby tips. Would highly recommend this brush.

Not sure but it's a very synthetic feeling brush. Not tapered or fluffy at all.

Yes. But one with some nylon bristles wil be even better. This brush is designed for men. There are good ones for women with long hai that have rubber bases that won't pull yr hair out. But agair boar bristle with some nylon brislte is probably what you want. Best of two worlds. Unless you have short hair. I love this brush.

I looked at description on Sigma's website and they are under the vegan category so they must be synthetic. I obviously purchased these an they are awesome brushes! A great variety of sizes and shapes for different applications. I own natural hair brushes for watercoloring and they do not perform as well and lose bristles easily. This is a great value. I use every one of these brushes. Great for filling in brows to shading,etc. Highly recommend getting them and sticking them on your counter in a cute old preserves jar where you can grab them or tuck them in the cupboard.

Neither, it is the BN1. The B1 and B3 are 100% boar bristle models. The Popular is the largest Mason Pearson brush with a boar bristle and nylon mix.

BN1 is the model number for the extra-large, boar and nylon mixed bristle brush. BN is the boar and nylon mix, B is boar bristles alone and N is nylon alone. There are some other variations in there for specialty brush types, too. The numbers indicate the different sizes. 1 is the largest model, 2 and 3 are smaller brushes and 4 is the pocket size.

The brush we own is made of ash. The bristles are made of hornbeam wood. They are terrific brushes. Very kind and gentle to ones hair. And they come with extra bristles in case one should come loose. (Hasn't happened to us and we have had two brushes for several years now.)

I think they are synthetic, which I prefer. Boar bristle brushes tear up my hair, and this brush does not. I also love the Twilight paddle brush. On it, the bristles are plastic with beads on the end. That brush has lasted for years without losing any of the beads. Honestly, any of the Twilight hair care products are the best I've ever used.
