Ever since I let my hair turn grey/white, it has been unmanageable, dry, frizzy, tangled. I asked a group of Elders on FB abiut grey hair and got a ton of advice and product suggestions at the time.
But a few months ago, I attended a Celtic event at our Fairgrounds and there was a brush and misc. item vendor there. I asked if he had any natural bristle brushes. He showed me two. One long hard boar bristle and one short soft bristle. I bought the soft bristle.
I've been using a synthetic bristle brush from the dollar store for years. The moment I ran the natural bristle through my hair, I noticed a big difference. It felt good on my scalp. It went through my hair like cutting butter. It got rid of tangles easily and non painfully. It was quicker in getting it all brushed. Most of the fizzles disappeared. My hair felt silky smooth.
I never thought bristles would make a difference, but they do. The funny thing is that my Scottish surname logo is a boar's head. I've always hated that symbol because it was butt ugly and I was hoping for something more dignified and elegant. No longer. This boar bristle brush has made me a believer, and I've made peace with my clan logo preference.
The handle is made of sturdy bamboo so would be a nice dual punishment item.
