Decent brush, but not boar! [SEP] The design of this brush is great, and actually gets through my thick mane of long hair without being a nightmare on my tender head. That said, in no universe do I believe these are natural boar bristles. They’re definitely some kind of little black plastic or nylon bristles perhaps meant to mimic boar, but is just not the same when it comes to distributing the natural oils through from the scalp to the ends of the hair. I’m disappointed because that was the entire reason I ordered them; not so much that the brushes themselves are bad for what they are, just that what I received wasn’t what was advertised that I purchased.
