What is fine hair?
- Fine hair has strands with a smaller diameter, which makes it lack volume and lie flat against the roots, giving it a limp and lackluster appearance.
- The smaller diameter of this hair type also makes it less resistant to external factors, which means your hair is more fragile and vulnerable to breakage.
- Because fine hair is so lightweight, it can react easily to friction from rubbing against clothes or a low-quality brush, which causes static.
- People with fine hair usually have more hair follicles on their heads, which means they also have more oil glands producing sebum. This makes fine hair particularly prone to becoming greasy.
Why a boar bristle hairbrush is the best choice for fine hair?
Wondering which is the right brush for fine hair? A boar bristle hairbrush is hands down your best bet. Here’s why.
A boar bristle hairbrush properly nourishes your hair
A boar bristle hairbrush will coat each hair strand from root to tip with the scalp’s natural oils, helping to nourish and protect fine hair. Unlike plastic, wooden, or nylon bristles, which simply glide over your scalp, the fibrous composition of boar hair allows it to actually lift sebum from the root and distribute it evenly through your hair. A boar bristle brush thus cleanses your scalp of sebum, which otherwise accumulates rapidly and makes your hair lie flat. And because each strand of your hair is naturally nourished and hydrated from brushing, you can say goodbye to that greasy, flat look.
At Altesse Studio, we have specially designed a Repair & Shine boar bristle brush for fine to medium hair, which goes beyond being an ordinary hair accessory and helps unlock real conditioning benefits. Our expert bristle placement technique using premium, “first-cut” boar hair fibers offers a high-performance and precise brushing experience, making fine hair stronger, shinier, and more supple with use.
A boar bristle hairbrush cuts down static
We’ve gone over why brushing your hair with a boar bristle hairbrush is a non-negotiable step in any fine hair care routine. And while a boar bristle hairbrush has great hydrating benefits, it also helps to eliminate static, which can be a recurring problem for fine hair. This is because boar hair fibers are naturally made of keratin that is identical to the keratin found in our hair. This prevents electric charges gathering through friction, which is what usually leads to static. In fact, boar hair fibers neutralize these charges, allowing you to comfortably enjoy all the benefits of hair brushing.
A boar bristle hairbrush can give volume to fine hair
Looking to naturally volumize fine hair? Using a boar bristle hairbrush is a good way to give your hair volume, body, and movement. As we have explained, boar hair fibers help to lift accumulated sebum off your scalp, which also lifts your roots, giving your hair lightness and bounce. An all-natural way to boost the volume, shine, and hold of your hairstyle!
Bonus tip: for shiny hair with lots of volume, try the 100-stroke brush technique: brush your hair from the root to the tips using 25 strokes each, moving from left to right, right to left, hair flipped down, and then the right way up.
