Beard Brush Benefits:

• Distributes Hair Oils:
  • The dense bristles distribute sebum along the entirety of the hair strand, leading to moisturization, and making hair look healthy and shiny.
  • Helps to balance skin oils thus reducing build up that can cause flakiness, dandruff, beard itch, inflammation, and discomfort.
  • Boars’ hair keeps the hair strand moisturized and conditioned while relaxing the cuticle for a healthy look.
• Adds Volume:
  • Boars’ hair is gentle on hair strands and adds volume to your beard because of its ability to grip each hair strand better than nylon or plastic bristles.
• Prevents Frizz and Breakage:
  • Our beard brushes are gentle on the skin and contain anti-static properties to help keep your beard looking healthy and well-groomed.
  • Boars’ hair decreases friction and static during brushing to prevent frizz from occurring.
  • It also smoothes and flattens the cuticle later of each hair strand to keep hair from breaking.
• Cleans Beard and Face:
  • The bristles help to remove dirt, dust, lint, flakes, and product buildup from the beard and face.
  • Regular brushing can help to decrease oiliness, loose hair strands, and clear clogged pores.
• Stimulates Skin and Promotes Circulation and Healthy Hair Growth:
  • Boar bristles massage skin under the beard and stimulate an increase in blood flow to each hair follicle, thus promoting hair growth and hair strand thickness.
