The Soft Grade is a soft-grade boar bristle finishing brush, made for hair that's finer and drier than it used to be. You comb first, then brush dry for two minutes, two or three nights a week.
It was the brush all along
Somewhere along the way, your hair stopped behaving the way it used to.
So you went gentler. You put the brush away, reached for a fine-tooth comb and brushed less. Maybe you even cut it shorter than you wanted.
But your hair was never the problem. Most brushes are made for one kind of hair. "All hair types," the box says. They're firm enough for thick hair, which makes them too firm for yours. On hair that's thinner and drier than it used to be, a firm bristle doesn't smooth. It grabs.
That's why the boar bristle brush everyone loves never worked for you. It wasn't made for the hair you have now.
Nobody told you boar brushes come soft
Bristle stiffness is a choice the brush maker makes. It's firm and widely spaced for thick hair, mixed for fine hair with oily roots, and soft and wide for hair that's finer and more fragile. The brushes sold on social media come in one stiffness, "for all hair types."

One grade: soft, wide-set
Soft-grade boar bristle
Wide-set tufts, so the bristles give before your hair does
It's a finishing brush. It's not for detangling and it's not for wet hair. Comb first, then brush dry, from roots to ends.
Boar bristle carries your hair's own oils down the strand. That's where the shine comes from, and it's the one thing every boar brush does. The grade decides whether it can do that on your hair without pulling.
Made for one kind of hair. Yours, if this sounds familiar
For you if:
Your hair has become finer, drier or more fragile than it used to be
A regular brush feels like it grabs, so you've switched to a comb
You want the smooth, shiny finish people get from a boar bristle brush, but it never seemed to work on your hair
Two minutes, two or three nights a week
1
Comb first
On dry hair, use the wide-tooth comb, ends first, then work your way up. Knots come out with the comb, never with the brush.
2
Brush dry
Go from roots to ends with slow strokes and a light hand. Let the bristles do the work. If you're pressing, you're pressing too hard.
The Full Shiny Hair Set
The Soft Grade Brush
Soft grade, wide-set, for the finishing step.
The Detangling Comb
Wide-tooth. It gets the knots out before the brush touches your hair, so the brush never has to pull.
The Brush Cleaner
Lifts hair and dust out of the bristles in one pass. A clean brush stays soft and fresh, and it won't put yesterday's product back into your hair.

Before you decide
“A boar bristle brush pulled my hair before”
That was almost certainly a firm or "all hair types" grade, used on hair it wasn't made for. This is the soft grade, and you comb first. If it still pulls on your hair, you're covered by the 30-night guarantee below. You get a full refund and don't have to send it back.
“I tried one and it flattened my hair at the crown”
Same cause. A bristle that's too firm presses the hair flat and drags oil straight down. Soft, wide-set bristles lift as they pass.
“Why not the $300 one?”
You'd be paying for the same idea (a brush graded to your hair) plus a name and a box. We sell one grade and stand behind it for 30 nights.
“Is it for thick hair?”
No. It's made for hair that has become finer. On thick or coarse hair, a firmer brush will do more.

How is this different from the boar brush I already own?
It comes down to grade. Most brushes sold online come in one medium-to-firm stiffness, marketed "for all hair types." This one is the soft grade only, wide-set, and it's meant for finishing dry hair after you've combed.
Can I use it on wet hair?
No. Comb wet hair with the wide-tooth comb. Brush when it's dry.
How often?
Two or three nights a week is plenty for hair that's finer and drier. Every night isn't better.
How do I clean it?
Once a week. Run the cleaner through the bristles, rinse just the bristles and let it dry face-down. Don't soak the handle.
Does it do anything beyond brushing?
No. A brush is a brush, and we won't tell you otherwise. What the soft grade does is brush hair that's finer and drier without grabbing it.
What if it's not for me?
Use your Tessaline brush for up to 30 nights after it arrives. If it isn't right for your hair, email hello@tessaline.co and we'll refund the full price. You don't need a return label or a form, and we won't ask why.
Soft enough for the hair you have now
