Smooth and Shine Collection 

Black Smooth and Shine brush by Spornette. The best hairbrush for shiny hair.

This brush is an excellent way for those with thick hair to blow out or straighten their hair. It comes in three sizes for all hair lengths, making it great to sculpt curls or keep tension for straightening. It also holds some surprising features. 

The handle of this superstar brush has a removable pick for sectioning hair hidden in the handle! It also features nylon and boar bristles. Nylon bristles help to penetrate the hair, while the boar bristles are angled to 45°, allowing it to securely hold the hair in place while you style. 

The nylon bristles are extended past the boar bristles to penetrate any hair. They are treated with tourmaline and ionic to help combat static and leave hair with a stunning shine.

Nylon bristles are great for preventing any small tangles as you style. But always detangle with a brush perfectly designed for the job before going in with a round brush.

The Ion Fusion Nylon/Boar Cushion brush is another example of why having a dual bristle brush is a great idea. This lightweight cushion is perfect for shaping, styling, and setting waves. It’s also the perfect hairbrush for adding shine!

This blog from Spornette further explains why having a combination of bristles is a good thing in a hairbrush. 

If dual-bristle brushes aren’t your thing, you may want a 100% boar bristle brush for shine. 

Boar bristles pull the natural oil from our roots to the tip of the hair. This feature is on full display with the DeVille 100% Boar Collection. The paddle and cushion DeVilles are perfect for daily maintenance to add health and shine. The DeVille Rounder is perfect for styling while you blow-dry.

Blow Them Away

To use a hairdryer to create shine, be sure to hit the cold air button at the end of drying your hair. This blast of cold air will seal the cuticle of the hair shaft. Sealing the cuticle is what sets your style and adds shine. 

This blog post is a great guide to giving yourself a blowout at home. It offers excellent tips for those who want shiny hair and are styling it at home.

A tried and true technique to add shine when using a hairdryer is to have good tension. Pulling your hair too tight can damage it. Not pulling your hair tight enough may not have the effect of smoothing hair. 

If you style your hair while you blow-dry, a good brush for you may be the Italian Rounder. Its name is a nod to the fact that this brush is manufactured in Italy.

Like most products out of Italy, quality is at the forefront, and the factory in Italy that manufactures this brush has been family-run for 150 years! Your locks can be curled or given a finish with this boar bristled beauty. The brush series has four diameters to help you perfectly manipulate your hair while styling.

Control Your Style

Shiny hair is not just for the ladies or those with long hair.

No matter who you are, shiny hair is a sign of health. A versatile brush for styling the whole family is the Prego Collection.

The barrel of this brush comes in six different sizes! The nylon bristles are treated with tourmaline to help condition the hair, leaving it healthy and beautiful! The tourmaline is charged with negative ions that break up water molecules and allow you to dry your hair super quick!

Other Tips to Achieve Shiny Hair

Other than hairbrushes, there are a few small things you can do to take even more control of your style and add shine. 

  • A clarifying shampoo can go a long way in giving your hair some shine. Clarifying shampoo strips build-up from products in your hair. Hair can appear dull from the build-up of days of products, even dry shampoo. 
  • While you’re in the shower, consider giving your hair a quick rinse with cold water before you get out. Much like the cool air from the hairdryer, the cold water will seal the cuticle of your hair. An added plus to a blast of cold water is that it can also help to maintain hair color. 
  • Adding oils to your hair product arsenal can be a daily way to add shine. Oils such as avocado or other natural oils are great. A light daily leave-in conditioner is also beneficial as it helps your hair maintain moisture. 

At the Heart of Every Style

When shopping for a brush that will help you give your hair a healthy shine, keep in mind the brush’s materials. The praises of both boar hair and nylon bristle alike have been sung.

Boar bristles do a great job of bringing natural oils from the root of the hair to the tip, ensuring hair is moisturized. On the other hand, nylon bristles lay hair strands flat, allowing them to detangle and smooth out hair.

Daily natural oils, a shine serum or spray, and a light leave-in conditioner provide great moisture and add shine. 

Sealing the hair cuticle is great for shine and can be done using the cool air button on the hairdryer. A blast of cold water at the end of a shower will do the same. For seven decades, they have provided beauty professional and D.I.Y. stylists with hairbrushes that set quality standards.

Keep reading to find out the benefits and differences between Spornette’s professional boar hair and nylon bristle brushes. 

First, Let’s Talk Bristle Basics 

Boar Hair

Deville Cushion Brush by Spornette has boar bristles

Just as the name suggests, brushes with boar bristles come from the hairs of boars. Boar hair is similar in structure to human hair and contains the same protein as human hair, keratin. 

The bristles are collected from domesticated animals that are being raised. The hair is removed humanely, almost as if you are shearing a lamb.

There are three different variations of boar bristle combinations:

  • 100% boar hair
  • Reinforced boar bristles with nylon cut to the same length. 
  • A “Porcupine” bristle pattern with a boar and extended nylon

Ideal uses of boar bristles: 

  • Create tension by catching and holding the hair. The ‘tension’ that the bristles create helps with setting and holding the curls or preferred style. 
  • Catch and hold the hair for straightening strands when used in conjunction with the heat from a hairdryer or straightening products. 

Benefits of using a boar bristle brush:

  • They distribute your hair’s natural scalp oils more evenly from the roots of your hair until the ends. 
  • They strip the hair of any leftover dead strands leaving you with healthy hair 
  • Create a shine to your hair by closing the hair strands cuticle helping the hair reflect light.
  • Increase the blood flow by stimulating your scalp, which may encourage growth.

Nylon Bristles

Ion Fusion Paddle Brush has nylon bristles

As defined by Britannica, nylon is any synthetic plastic material composed of polyamides. Nylon is of high molecular weight and usually, but not always, is manufactured as a fiber. Nylon hairbrushes are capable of penetrating and gliding through any hair texture. 

A majority of nylon bristles have a range of flexibility, so when a tangle in the hair is present, the bristles will give, allowing the brush to slide over the tangle. Unfortunately, because nylon bristles are made from plastic, they tend to get soft and can even melt with too much heat from a hairdryer. 

“21” Classic Nylon Cushion

21 Nylon Cushion by Spornette

If you are looking for a brush that will manage your curls and make it through thick hair unscathed, our “21” Classic Nylon Cushion is for you. 

The classic oval cushion shape makes this brush a staple for any home. While the brush’s ergonomic handle makes holding the brush and styling so easy. 

The cushion helps the nylon bristles effortlessly glide through the hair, while also stimulating the scalp to help with future hair growth. The “21” Classic Nylon Cushion makes short work of tangled hair, and you will have beautiful tamed tresses in no time. 

Deville 100% Boar Paddle and Cushion

Side view of the Deville Cushion Brush

The Deville 100% Boar Paddle features a cushion with all boar bristles. The entire brush is made with rich, luxurious hardwood with a gorgeous finish.

The boar bristles will distribute your hair’s natural oils. The oils condition your hair while the bristles stimulate the scalp, leaving your hair silky smooth. 

Boar bristles also benefit the hair by helping keep the hair clean as the brush distributes your natural sebum evenly through your hair. These oils will help with your hair’s overall health while restoring moisture and adding more sheen, creating smooth and manageable hair. 

Brushing your hair with a boar bristle brush stimulates the capillaries, increasing the blood circulation in the scalp. When you stimulate the scalp, this allows the oxygen and nutrients to travel through the stem, root, and bulb of the hair. 

Another benefit of using Spornette’s Deville 100% Boar Paddle or Cushion as your hair becomes accustomed to the boar bristles, your sebaceous glands will eventually balance out. The stimulation of the glands allows them to breathe while still retaining natural oils. 

An overactive or underactive sebaceous gland is often to blame for hair loss. The overproduction and underproduction of sebum can cause the weakening and undernourishment of the scalp. 

If you are looking for a gentle brush that will leave your hair soft and silky, the Deville 100% Boar Paddle or Cushion is the brush of your dreams.

Luxury Cushion 

Spornette Luxury Cushion brush

Our Luxury Cushion brush features a combination of both nylon and boar bristles that will penetrate and glide through all different hair textures. The plush satin or soft-touch finish handle makes the brush easy and comfortable to hold for styling.

The nylon bristles are a longer length than the boar bristles, which is why this brush easily penetrates every hair texture. The shorter boar bristles will act as a hold for better styling results. 

The Luxury Cushion brush comes in two different sizes. The larger brush is ideal use at home or stored in a desk drawer at your office. The smaller version makes a great travel companion, stored in a purse, or is easily packed in a suitcase. 

This brush is the perfect option because you reap all the scalp and hair benefits from a boar bristle brush. You also have the wonderful detangling benefits that a nylon bristle brush provides.
