Is this brush all boars hair or a mix of hair and plastic?

Mine that I just received today is NOT 100% boars hair. In fact, I'd say that it's about 1% boars hair. To test this I pulled out a few of the light colored bristles and burnt them. They burnt, as hair would. Then I pulled out about 10 of the black ones (that are pretty obviously NOT hair) and burnt them. They ALL melted. Hair does not melt. There is one lighter colored boars hair to about every 50 black plastic bristles.

That's a good question to ask! I believe it is 100% boar's hair. The bristles are firm but they give when you brush - no ouchy scalp scratches!

Been using this brush for a couple of months now, and I'd have to say that it appears to be a mix of boars hair and plastic.

Yep, I agree with the previous posters. It's all boars hair from what I can tell.

I honestly can't tell if there are ANY boars hair in this brush. It looks and feels like every bristle is plastic.

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.

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.

Based on the Mason Pearson web site http://www.masonpearson.com/why.html I believe the handle is plastic. They say "The cellulose plastic handle is hand-polished and any sharp edges are removed to make the hairbrush more comfortable to hold. This handle was developed from the original wooden design which we continue to make in small quantities.". It may be plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap or plasticy. The handle is just the right weight and has a very nice feel.

There is a metal plate covering the roller brush. The rest of the underneath is plastic.

Its all plastic, and the product lasts forever. I am using curlers I purchased at least 4 years ago. I have fine hair and they are great for styling. My hairdresser used them in my hair and really impressed. I purchased the product on Amazon for her. Hope this helps you. Verta

It says 100% Boar Bristles. I love mine, and it is easy to clean. Hope this helps.

The comb is made of hard plastic, not like a traditional hair brush made with bristles. I use an antibacterial wipe to clean it.

Yes. The bristles are all metal with no plastic on them anywhere. They are very sturdy. . . this brush has withstood my 6yo brushing her doll with VERY tangled hair.

Animal hair, probably horse? 1" length exposed. The hair on the replacement brush is coarser than on the brush supplied with original purchase of the vac.

The bristles are made of very thin plastic. I have had the brush for a year and the bristles have not even come close to melting. The bristles do not have nubby tips at the ends. I love this brush! The best brush I have ever had,. The brush head is not solid, it has great air flow through it. Dries my hair faster and makes it so smooth!

I really cannot tell. They appear plastic but if (yes I did) you hold a pin gently between your teeth, it is obvious the material is wood. The pins are soft and rounded and well-spaced. Never had a problem with hair being pulled. I love the brush. Hope this helps.

The brush has stiff bristle. It worked well for what I needed. Hope this helps.

I believe you mean the comb/body which is made out of plastic. Metal cover plates. Brass reeds.

Boar's hair- or some other natural animal fiber. No doubt about it. If you burn a fiber, it stinks of hair.

Yes, it's round. The brush is small though. It works best for adding lift at the roots or creating small defined curls at the ends of your hair. If you just want it for the benefits of the boar bristles, your hair will definitely see less damage and breakage. Hope this helps. If you have other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

It will help as much as a brush can. I have frizzy hair too and find if I brush using long strokes from scalp to ends it smooths the hair. This brush will help distribute your scalps natural oils. It works better than a regular boar bristle hairbrush. I still feel it was worth the investment.
