Question about BOAR BRISTLES?

See many people talking about Boar Brushes, people reference the Bristles being Bleached, or UnBleached. So my question is what is difference between the two types of Boar Hair?

Bleached bristles are typically softer and thinner, although the knot can still be just as dense. The bristles are much lighter in color.

Unbleached are stiffer and take a longer time to break in. The break-in journey is a wonderful experience.

Any knot that is dyed to look like a badger is bleached.

Zenith and Omega make both types, Semogue (as far as I know) are all bleached.
