Greasy roots and dry ends are particularly bothersome, but they certainly don't have to be. You simply need to target both issues in the right way. Brushing your hair with a boar bristle brush is just one of the great ways you can do this. This not only helps to create a healthy scalp but it’s also a natural way to moisturize the ends of your hair. Let’s take a look at a new way to care for combination hair.
Why do I have greasy roots and dry ends?
Greasy roots go hand in hand with a scalp imbalance. The cause? Excessive sebum production (hyperseborrhea). This can be due to a variety of factors, such as a hormonal imbalance, poor diet, stress, pollution or overly aggressive or frequent hair care routines.
If you have combination hair, not only does the scalp produce too much sebum, but the lengths and ends also miss out on its nourishing and protective benefits. What’s more, the overuse of heating appliances only serves to dry out the ends even more.
Caring for the scalp means doing everything possible to regulate sebum while evenly distributing it to the ends. It also means choosing the right haircare gestures to lock in the hair's natural moisture and shine.
Tackle greasy roots with a boar bristle brush
Bid farewell to heavy, greasy, and sticky roots! The boar bristle brush oxygenates the scalp, helping to eliminate excess sebum that can weigh it down. In fact, with Altesse Studio's Prestige boar bristle brush, 87% of users reported improved sebum distribution. When sebum production is better regulated, it means you can space out your shampoos. Bonus: the boar bristles’ massaging properties also help boost regrowth.

Moisturize dry ends with a boar bristle brush
The boar bristle brush for greasy hair is your best ally for tackling greasy roots and dry ends. And for a very good reason: it turns what was once a real burden into a blessing. Why? Simply because wild boar hair is able to capture sebum at the roots and distribute it evenly to the ends. The fibrous structure of the bristles is a real superpower. The result: as you brush, your ends become naturally moisturized and protected.

Additional tips for treating combination hair
Beyond using a boar bristle brush, greasy hair and dry ends require special daily care. Here's how to nurture a healthy scalp and achieve soft, shiny ends.
- Use a gentle, PH-neutral shampoo formulated with natural ingredients.
- Only wash the roots and not the lengths and ends. By doing this you can eliminate excess sebum yet preserve the natural moisture already present in the hair lengths.
- Apply a purifying mask for greasy hair once a week.
- To nourish and prevent brittle ends, vegetable oils like avocado oil can be really beneficial.
- To avoid further weakening the ends, limit the use of heating appliances as much as possible.
