For decades, the "Boar Bristle Brush" has been touted as the ultimate tool for shiny hair. Traditionally, these brushes use the coarse hair of a wild boar. However, as we move into a more conscious era of beauty, many Australians are questioning whether animal products are truly necessary for a great hair day.

At Tangled Hair Care, we made a firm decision from day one: our brushes would be 100% Vegan and Cruelty-Free. But we didn't just want to be ethical; we wanted to be the best. Here is why our synthetic vegan bristles are actually superior to traditional animal hair.

1. Ethical Beauty: Glamour Without the Guilt

The most obvious reason to switch to a vegan brush is the animals. Traditional boar bristles are often a byproduct of the meat industry or involve questionable harvesting practices. By choosing the Dream Detangler™️, you are choosing a product that is kind to animals.

We believe that no creature should suffer for the sake of a snag-free morning. You can learn more about our values on our About Us page.

2. Hygiene and Durability

Animal hair is porous. This means it can absorb moisture, bacteria, and old hair oils over time. Because it is an organic material, it can also degrade, become brittle, and snap after repeated washing.

Our synthetic vegan bristles are:

• Non-Porous: They don't absorb product or water, making them much more hygienic and easier to clean.

• Heat Resistant: Our bristles are designed to withstand the heat of a hairdryer, unlike some natural hairs that can singe or smell when heated.

• Long-Lasting: They maintain their "flick" and flexibility for years, meaning your Full Size Dream Detangler stays as effective on day 500 as it was on day 1.

3. Consistency in Detangling

Natural boar bristles vary in thickness and strength because they are a natural product. This can lead to "hot spots" in a brush where some bristles are too soft and others are too stiff.

Our synthetic bristles are engineered to a precise "Flexi-Grade." This means every single bristle on your Mini Dream Detangler provides the exact same amount of tension. This consistency is what allows for a tear-free experience, even on the most matted hair.

4. Better Oil Distribution (Without the Smell)

One of the main reasons people use boar bristles is to move sebum (natural oils) from the scalp to the ends. There is a common myth that only "real" hair can do this.

The truth? Our synthetic bristles are shaped specifically to "scoop" and distribute oils just as effectively as animal hair, resulting in that coveted ouchless shine. Best of all, synthetic bristles don't develop that "wet dog" smell that natural boar brushes often get when they become damp.

5. Perfect for Sensitive Scalps

Real boar bristles can often be quite scratchy and sharp. For children with sensory sensitivities, this can be a deal-breaker. Our vegan bristles are polished to a smooth finish, ensuring they glide over the scalp with a comforting, massage-like feel.
