A boar bristle brush is made up of very closely packed, stiff boar bristles. What sets apart a boar bristle brush is that a regular brush is designed to detangle the hair. A boar bristle brush, which only has 100% boar bristles, is not designed to detangle the hair, but rather, it's designed as a styling and health maintenance tool for the hair. So how does it do this?

First of all, because it's made up of literal hairs, albeit much stiffer hairs than ours, and you're brushing your own hair with it, it does a really, really cool, unique job at cleansing the hair and smoothing down the hair cuticles, removing dust and debris. It's basically the historical equivalent of dry shampoo, because it does such a good job at picking up your scalp oils, bringing them away from your scalp, removing any visible greasiness. And then, as you bring the brush down the length of your hair, it draws those oils down the lengths of your hair and conditions your hair.
