In Europe, about 41% of women say they have a sensitive scalp. Are you one of them? If so, did you know that a boar-bristle brush could be your best daily ally? Here’s why.
What are the signs of a sensitive scalp?
A sensitive scalp can be characterized by the following features:
- painful to the touch;
- irritation;
- a tingling sensation accompanied by a feeling of heat;
- itching;
- redness;
- sharp pain;
- dryness with flaking and/or dandruff;
- reactions to hair care products and treatments.
Why do I have a sensitive scalp?
The sensitivity of a delicate scalp can be attributed to excessive stimulation of the nerve cells in the scalp, combined with a natural deficiency in sebum production. This hypersensitivity is a permanent and natural characteristic of certain scalp types. However, it can be exacerbated by internal factors (stress, anxiety, etc.) and external factors (environmental pollutants, the use of harsh hair products and accessories, etc.).

The benefits of boar bristle brushes for sensitive scalps
Thanks to the rounded tip of its bristles, the boar bristle brush first soothes sensitive scalps with its unique massaging action. It also has a gentle “scratching” feature that instantly relieves itchy scalps.
Another benefit: this premium, 100% natural brush stimulates blood circulation in the scalp. The result: it helps deliver nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles. The roots are strengthened, and hair growth is naturally stimulated.
Finally, brushing your hair with a boar-bristle brush helps remove impurities that have built up on the scalp (pollution, dust, pollen, sweat, etc.). As mentioned earlier, these impurities can aggravate scalp sensitivity and cause itching. By removing these irritating external factors, the scalp can breathe freely again and its hydrolipidic film can be preserved.

Good to know In addition to caring for sensitive scalps, the brush nourishes hair and leaves it shiny, day after day. This magical effect is due to the structure of its boar bristles, which is similar to that of our own hair (fibrous and rich in keratin). With each stroke, it draws out the scalp’s natural oils and distributes them evenly to the ends. Breakage is reduced, and hair is softer, protected, and perfectly nourished. |
