What's the best type of brush bristles out there?

I have one of those brushes with the boar bristles (cost me $30 which my stylist recommended) and find that it works well with my hair. I've been reading that the nylon bristles are best for your hair. Did my stylist just dupe me into buying that kind of brush? I have seen that the nylong bristle brushes are much cheaper.

I just use one of those big round brushes and actually I have no idea what the bristles are made out of. They are quite hard that I do know. It seems to work well on my hair when I am blow drying it. I think I got it at Walmart for like $7.00 or something. I definitely didn't pay a ton for it. Sometimes it seems like the cheaper ones work the best for some reason.

I'm not sure what type of bristles are on my hairbrush, but I bought it at Wal-Mart. It's got a wooden handle and almost feels like I'm massaging my scalp when I brush my hair. The end of the bristles have a little ball on them. I had two but one finally gave out. I can't find them anymore, so I hope my other one lasts for a while.

I was always taught that "natural" bristles were best for the hair. Such as the boar bristles mentioned here. Yet any natural bristles I think would work. The different ones offered here and there make it easier for each individual's tastes according to their hair density and needs. These natural bristles are better for your hair's health. The ends of nylon bristles can further damage already damaged and split ends.
