Oily roots and dry ends are particularly unpleasant, but they don't have to be. As long as you target both problems with the right gestures. Among them, brushing hair with a boar bristles brush is a must. The result is a healthy scalp and naturally moisturized ends. Let's take a look at your new routine for combination hair.
Why do I have oily roots and dry ends?
Oily roots are synonymous with scalp imbalance, manifested by excessive production of natural oils (hyperseborrhea). This can be due to a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalance, poor diet, stress, pollution, or over-aggressive or over-frequent hair care...
In the case of combination hair, not only does the scalp produce too much natural oils, but the lengths and ends also miss out on its nourishing and protective benefits. To this can be added the over-intensive use of heating appliances, which only dries out the ends even more.
This involves taking care of the scalp - by regulating natural oils production - and evenly distributing it throughout the hair, right down to the ends. All the while, we adapt the right gestures to preserve hair's natural moisture and shine.

Moisturize dry ends with the brush in boar bristles
The boar bristles brush for oily hair is your best ally in overcoming greasy roots and dry ends. And with good reason: it can turn a burden into a blessing. And why? Quite simply because boar's hair is capable of capturing natural oils right from the roots and distributing it evenly down to the ends. This super power is due to the fibrous structure of the hair. Result: brushing after brushing, the ends are naturally moisturized and protected.
