Are natural bristle brushes better?

Natural bristles, which come from the wild boar, are softer and more flexible than nylon bristles. Boar bristle brushes are especially good for fine, thin or damaged they. They also help to distribute the scalp's natural oils throughout the hair and help close the hair cuticle while brushing, giving hair a healthy shine. Boar bristle brushes are often reinforced with heat-resistant nylon to help the bristles penetrate the hair. These brushes—sometimes called porcupine brushes or mixed boar styling brushes are perfect for coarse and medium-to-thick hair.
