Best for thin hair
What type of brush should I use for thin hair? The golden standard is a pure boar bristle brush to be used on dry hair. The bristles will spread natural oils of your hair, remove debris, and help your scalp every time you brush. If you have tangles you can try a paddle brush that has a large head and a mixture of nylon and boar bristles. The nylon will help to separate hair and detangle while the boar bristles smooths them.
A pure boar bristle brush is not a detangling brush, but if you have thin or very fine hair boar bristles combines with nylon can be used to detangle your hair. A regular boar bush works best for people with thinner hair. The bristles with each brush stroke can penetrate to the scalp and distribute oils along the shaft. These brushes are going to distribute oils better than the brushes of the nylon mix. The biggest drawback is that more static and frizzy can be produced. Most people use a pure boar brush to tame any fizz are using a little oil. I recommend using a little Argan oil to tame the frizz.

Thinning hair and brushing
Does brushing help thinning hair? Yes.Brushing your hair with a boar brush makes sure the natural oils from your scalp are distributed along your strands of your hair. Additionally, brushing your hair stimulates blood flow to the scalp, which helps to provide follicles with more nutrients to promote hair growth.
