Let’s go over these new brushes and why you’ll want one (or more) to add to your brush collection.

Du-Boa Aging Scalp Brush with Boar Hair

This brush is beautifully designed and made in Japan. It has a combination of nylon and boar bristles which is nice for an aging scalp. The purpose of the boar bristles is to create more glossy, voluminous hair and to glide through the hair for less breakage during styling. The nylon bristles gently massage the scalp and distribute the natural oils back into the scalp. The anti-static elastic ring helps prevent static. The handle is durable and solid. If you want a brush that will be gentle to the scalp but adds shine and volume, this is a good choice.

Du-Boa Anti-Static Aging Scalp Brush

The Du-Boa Anti-Static Aging Scalp Brush is also great for an aging scalp. As we get older the scalp ages 12x faster than our body skin so it needs a different kind of attention. The scalp looses elasticity and hair follicles become less active leading to hair thinning over time. With shrinking oil glands and drier hair, it’s important to address the needs of the aging scalp. With soft nylon bristles it gently massages and stimulates the scalp. It features a combination of short and long bristles as well as soft and slightly firmer bristles for various effects. The soft brown outer bristles are gentle to the scalp and hair while the clear firmer bristles ensure smooth brushing of the hair. The short round tip bristles are good for styling and increasing volume whereas the long round tip bristles help clean pores and massages the scalp.  The result is soft, smooth hair without tugging or pulling on hair. This brush is made in Japan.

Du-Boa Anti-Static Styling Brush

This is no ordinary styling brush. It contains some unique properties for easy styling. The bristles contain olive squalene oil to protect the skin and maintain scalp moisture. It also contains silicone for smooth brushing. On the side of the brush is a stainless steel fiber strip (Nasron) that removes static while brushing. It is well balanced from end to end. The durable pink handle is easy to hold and maneuver. If you want to style, maintain scalp moisture and reduce static, this brush is a good choice. Made in Japan.
