Widely spaces boar bristle brush?

[DarleneH]

One reason I don't like using a BBB is it feels like it is just tearing through my hair. Are there any with much more widely spaced bristles? I feel like that would be better.

Check out Target, WalMart, Walgreen's, any drug store or beauty supply store. There are wider space bbbs out there.

Be sure you detangle your hair before using your brush.

Make sure your hair is already thoroughly detangled before you start brushing, and then brush it in small sections. That should help you avoid any ripping.

You may want to consider whether your hair is possibly too fine for a BBB. The tufts of closely packed bristles serve a distinct purpose of smoothing hair by dragging scalp oils downward. That motion may be too rough for super-fine hair. Maybe a wooden comb or brush could provide the same job, just gentler?

Yes, you can find BBBs that have widely spaced bristles. I've found that brushing my hair in sections is really gentle on my hair. My hair is also fine. I make sure my hair is thoroughly detangled first with a comb, and then I start brushing the underlayers, working my way up to the top layers. I also clean my BBB after each use (dry cleaning just to get out any hair I've shed).

I was wondering the same thing. The bristles seem so harsh to brush your hair with!
