If you have a head of medium to long hair a boar bristle brush should definitely be in your wardrobe of hairbrushes.  Looked at as nonsense nowadays an old saying that I even remember my grandmother using was “brush your hair 100 strokes a day for healthy good conditioned hair”.

The saying was in fact a reference to the boar bristle brush which has been around since eighteen hundred and was originally developed to improve people’s hair texture and shine. [Read more…]
