Beard Brush FAQ

Is it possible to brush your beard too much?

Yes, it is possible to brush your beard too much especially if you’re using a beard brush with synthetic bristles. When you constantly brush your hair, you may remove more sebum and/or leave-in conditioner than you’d like, which leads to a dry, uncomfortable, and frizzy beard. Over-brushing may also damage the cuticles of your facial hairs, leading to unhealthy hairs prone to breakage. We recommend limiting each area of your beard to 4-6 brush strokes, twice daily.

Why is boar bristle better than horsehair or nylon bristles in a beard brush?

Boar bristle is the best beard brush bristle because of its backbone (or stiffness) and its organic composition. The backbone of boar bristle is rigid enough to penetrate and detangle even thick and curly beards. The rigidity also allows the bristle to get to your skin and hair follicles to massage the skin to encourage blood flow and the distribution of your body’s natural sebum. Horsehair bristles are usually not rigid enough to penetrate thick beards.

Nylon bristles are quite rigid and are effective at penetrating a thick beard, but the manufacturing process used to make nylon bristles is what makes this a poor beard brush material. It’s common for nylon bristles to have rough edges which damage the hair. Nylon bristles also do not carry sebum as effectively as boar bristle. Boar bristles have a similar organic composition to our own hairs and are inherently great vehicles to distribute sebum thoroughly.

Will this make my beard softer?

Yes, routine brushings will certainly make your beard softer. The distinct feature that makes boar bristle ideal for your beard brush is its ability to distribute your body’s natural sebum throughout your beard or mustache. This naturally gives each strand a moisture-locking coating, which gives your facial hairs healthy elasticity and resulting softness. When used with beard oil, a boar bristle beard brush will give you your softest beard to date.

Boar Bristle vs BioniFil Bristle- What is the difference?

Boar bristles are natural and cut from the hair of a boar. Boar bristles are favored for their variety in stiffness and ability to evenly distribute natural oils through hair for a healthier strand.

BioniFil is a man-made synthetic bristle. It is a vegan and Halal friendly alternative. These fibers were specifically engineered to mimic the qualities of natural boar- there is no compromise in its ability to evenly distribute oils, detangle, and smooth beards.

Boar bristle brushes are available in soft and firm stiffness. BioniFil bristles are only available in soft.
