How I use a boar bristle brush

Here is how I use a boar bristle brush!

[ChristinaOurWoodHome]

update November 2021: My hair is much longer and curlier now. For a few years I had been using a wooden brush and currently use a large tooth wooden comb. I use it the same way as I show in this video.

edit to add: I use shampoo and conditioner now but yes I used dishsoap for my hair for a number of years. I don't know why this upsets people so much😂 I'm not telling YOU to use it!

I don't have oily hair, or skin really, but I have read that with your skin, if it is oily it is because it is overproducing to combat dry skin, so the hair thing makes sense. I love my boar bristle brush though, for helping to smooth frizziness. I have naturally curly hair, but it's VERY frizzy (if I so much as think about humidity, it frizzes up), and also very thin. I definitely don't wash mine everyday either - no need!!! A tip that I do/love - I condition my ends FIRST, and THEN I shampoo just the roots. It doesn't dry out the ends, and it gives me some natural volume.
Thanks for this video! :) Your hair is lovely.

Soap is soap the industry has convinced us we have to have ten types of soap in the house but you can buy a bottle of dr Brauner soap and use it for everything but the dishwasher. Sure some put extra oil or better quality oil for tasks that require more moisture but for the most part we all know soap is soap.

Hi Christina, this is very helpful information for both myself and LMH. We'll have to check this boar brush out. 👍🏽Thanks, Katie

Love your video, I have one of these brushes, I'm going to start using it, thanks so much❤️

I know they say do it with your head down but this section after section thing... Seriously feels better. I pulled a crap ton of hairs when I do it the other way. Probably dead hairs (we lose 100 hairs a day debate) but I like this better. Thanks 🙏🏼

Excellent video, although my hair is very coily I think I will be using this technique. Do you think a softer boar bristle would work for very coily hair if I'm very gentle?

[ronyrodriguez]

hi Christina, you have very nice hair! ❓: do you use any sort of leave in conditioner after washing your hair with dish soap?

[carolO]

I love this video, sister! I have that brush and my hair is very similar to your hair, I will definitely try this! 🤗😀
Beautiful 🎀
God bless you, sister 🙏🏼❤🙏🏼

Does using a hair dryer help pulling the oils?

[Ahmedahmedxyza]

how to know if the scalp has oil or not?
thanks

[Ahmedahmedxyza]

shampoo is just soap, before shampoo people used soap. I think soap has less chemicals

You and I not only have the same hair type but also the same hairline pattern. Also, I tried doing this and I ended up pulling so much hairs. Did you loose any hair using the boar bristle brush? And how much hair do you loose on wash days in general?

[CossetteArt]

I tried dawn dish soap. I assumed if it's good to take oil off a duck it can take oil off my hair haha

Omg at first i believe her but when she started saying that she use dishsoap as shampoo... crazy...

the way you are doing it is completely wrong, but if it works for you
