What are the benefits of La Bonne Brosse boar bristle brushes?
The reason La Bonne Brosse hairbrushes are so effective in caring for our hair is because of the boar bristles they are made of. Known to mirror our hair's structure, boar bristles are 100% natural. They reduce the amount of sebum at the roots and distribute it over the entire length, nourishing the ends. In addition, loaded with keratin, they help neutralize the static electricity that can be present on our hair when we brush it. As a result, hair is softer, shinier, more disciplined, easier to detangle and less brittle. In short, boar bristles are a quality ally in the care of our long hair, with impressive longevity. And yes, like La Bonne Brosse brushes, boar bristle brushes are often the brushes of a lifetime!
When and how to clean your La Bonne Brosse boar bristle brush
Because the health of your hair depends on the care you use to style it, it's important to take good care of your boar bristle brush to keep your hair healthy and strong, while prolonging the life of your brush. While there are no real rules about how often you should clean your brush (it all depends on how quickly your brush gets dirty, depending on the styling products you use), it's a good idea to remove any dead hair your brush has picked up by hand after each use. This will make it easier to clean your brush when the time comes, and avoid spreading these little bits of dirt on your scalp or lengths. Note also that boar bristle brushes, because of their density, tend to retain more dust, greasy substances and other impurities than brushes with conventional wooden pins.
To clean your boar bristle brush, start by removing any hair and other dust that may get trapped between its bristles and pins, using a comb. The comb helps to avoid pulling too hard on the bristles, while scraping away any dust that may have settled on the brush's air cushion. Once a month, you can also clean your hairbrush more thoroughly witha mild shampoo or a damp cloth. Run the latter between each bristle to clean your brush and remove any dust that may be trapped inside. Then let it air-dry, bristles side down. But be careful! Be careful not to soak your boar bristle hairbrush completely in water, to preserve the quality of its follicles.
