Why use a wooden brush instead of say a boar bristle one?

I too feel that this brush just treats my hair better. It does not split and it really cuts down on static flyaway. Also--they will last for freaking EVER. I can't even remember how many years ago I bought my first one--but just bought the second one for a gift. It comes with replaceable bristles in case some fall out (but I have not found that to happen with mine). Brushing with this wood brush is like a scalp massage--it feels SO good. I highly recommend it.

I love my wood hair brush it is sale on my scalp. It distrusted the natural oils in my hair.

It makes your scalp FEEL good, as well as brushing your hair without tearing at it.This is a quality brush-the wooden handle has a good feel to it, too. Love this brush, and have given 3 away as gifts. Everyone loves them.

it stimulates the blood flow in my scalp by massaging it. this is excellent for hair growth. the boar bristles just create static.

My guess is that it gets my scalp going. I recall boar bristles as being scrtachy or soft. The bamboo pegs on these have round bulby tips that flex so they give my head a real good rub.

The bristle/Brush side is use usually on ceramic/tile or a Matt wood floor. The non bristle side would be use with any type of rug.

It is not to my taste as a brush, so I bought a pure boar and gave this synthetic one to Goodwill. But, it is a standard size as I remember.

I too was expecting wooden bristles, but they're not. They're plastic! The base of the brush is beautiful wood, but I was hoping for a solution to the static electricity I get from plastic brushes. Oh, well. Good luck to you.

I own both tools and use them for different purposes. The articulating tool doesn't lay as flat as the flat out tool does, thus, it's better for getting under low profile furniture. However, I prefer this tool on my hardwoods because of the brushes. Additionally, it moves easily in a swivel direction making sweeping an easier chore.I find it helps to "sweep" larger debris into a pile, then lifting the wand and sucking up into the canister.

I find that putting the brush in handle fist that the brush slides right in. Also with the brittles wet when I place it in the case it slides right back out the next morning with no damage to my boar bristle brush.

I use it on my wood cutting boards because it is so gentle. The soap does not have any detergent. It can also be used to wash natural bristle hair brushes.

As far as I can tell, it's the same kind of wood-bristle brush sold for dogs. That's why I got them. It would work well on a long-haired dog like a spaniel or Wheaten or some working breeds, but on my small wire-coated terriers' furnishings, it was too coarse a brush to really grab the hair. Works great on my hair, though!

The brush works better than the cheap-o brushes.There are lots of sturdy bristles.The handle is easy to grip.

The bristles are a soft plastic that is flexible. I think it works so well because it brushes through less hair at once. It works so much better and faster than using a wide tooth comb or regular brush. I will never use a regular brush again. Give it a try. It's well worth the cost.

They are natural boar bristles. The bristles are soft enough for skin but firm enough for effective Skin Brushing.

I did not have particular issues with the bristles falling out, but abandoned this one because the plastic bristles were about 1cm longer than the "boar" bristles, which was not what I wanted. I went with a Kent brand brush, which is quite good, but more expensive.

Yes. It is ideal for this purpose. The bristles are very soft, similar to wet linguini but much stronger. I use it for BBQ basting because of the high heat resistance. The only minor disadvantage is that it cannot retain as much thin liquid as the typical bristle brush. Bristle brushes tend to eventually lose the bristles which I find very displeasing.

I am a hairstylist and if I were you I would not but the straight boar bristle brush but buy the Mason Pearson that had half plastic bristles and half boar. I use that one on my clients with fine hair and you get the same beautiful shiny effect of the Mason Pearson without ripping and tearing the hair. Straight boar is too aggressive. Hope that helps!

The point of the brush is to get rid of fur that's about to fall off or that's just tangled on the animal. It shouldn't be used as a brush because it doesn't comb the hair softly it only removes hair and makes the animals hair look healthier and give them a better coat as well

The bristles are thinner, longer and more flexible than a normal hair brush. The brush works well on my wet hair which is fine and thin. To me it's better on wet hair than dry.

I don't know how to answer this because I don't have both, but I can tell you I picked the square because the bristle density looks fully to make a lather & I'm pretty happy with it. Hope this helps.
