So, I'm YouTube searching under the key term "dreadlocks" and I come across this lady, actually two ladies that recommend brushing their dreAds with a soft boar bristle brush with mature dreads. Some of the benefits- removing lint and debris, stimulating the scalp, and distribution of oils (jojoba, olive oil..ect) I have tried this a couple of times and... I like the results thus far. My brush is more "firm" then it is "soft" so I suppose I should "downgrade" because it does mAke my hair a bit frizzy. I've only seen this on African hair texture which is what I have so I'm not sure that you'd want to do this with "softer" hair textures..

You could probably use any brush for infants. They are really soft. Actually I think the one I have might be boar bristle. But I know they come in synthetic. Oils would probably distribute better with a natural one.

It's called a 100% boars hair brush. They have them at sallys. They have them in different hardness levels ranging from soft to hard.I like them for scalp stimulation I'd go for a more firm one for your scalp and a softer one for the rest of the dread.huh thats interesting. im sure its fine for mature dreads of all kinds. exactly what brush is this? im interested in the flake removal lol
