The Tease - Boar & Nylon Bristle Hair Brush

A boar bristle brush helps distribute the natural oils from your scalp down the length of your hair. This conditions your strands, adds shine, reduces frizz, and helps keep your scalp healthier. It also gently stimulates the scalp, which can encourage better circulation and overall hair health.

Boar bristle brushes distribute natural oils from your scalp down the hair shaft, which adds shine and reduces frizz. They’re gentle but not great at detangling on their own. Nylon bristles are stronger and more flexible, making them better for detangling and working through thicker hair. Mixed bristle brushes combine both—giving you the shine-boosting benefits of boar with the detangling power of nylon.

The nylon pins on The Tease are made of PA66, which is heat-resistant (up to 220C) so yes, you can use it while blow-drying. Just keep in mind that the boar bristles and wooden handle aren’t designed for prolonged, high-heat styling. For a quick dry and smooth finish, The Tease works beautifully. For serious blow-dry styling and volume, a ceramic round brush is better.

• Curly / Textured Hair – Use a mixed bristle brush (boar + nylon). The nylon bristles help glide through curls without too much tugging, while the boar bristles smooth and add shine.
  
• 
  Straight / Fine Hair – A pure boar bristle brush is ideal. It’s gentle, distributes oils evenly, and boosts shine without causing breakage.
  
• 
  Thick Hair – Go for a mixed bristle. The nylon gives strength to get through dense hair, while boar bristles help condition.
  

Wavy Hair – Mixed bristle is your best bet. It detangles and smooths without weighing waves down.

Yes! A travel-size brush can be just as effective as a full-size one. The difference is mainly in the size of the handle and head, which makes it more portable. As long as the bristles and materials are high quality, you’ll get the same shine, scalp stimulation, and detangling benefits.

These brushes will last you a lifetime if cared well. It is also good for your scalp to keep your brush clean. Wash the head (bristle part )in soap water once a week. Deep clean even 4-6 weeks by soak the brush paddle in soap water and then removing the debris, hair and gunk using a thin bottle cleaner or tweezers. Be mindful of not soaking the wood as that may cause it to swell.

The boar bristles are responsibly sourced keeping sustainability in mind. They are a by product of the meat industry. The bristles are taken once the boar is slaughtered for meat. The animals weren't reared for the bristles nor was taken when they were alive. The wild boars weren't hunted for the bristles either.
