5) Which brush is best for a healthier scalp?

1) Deep-clean the scalp 

Throughout the day, your scalp collects dust, pollen, styling product residue, dead skin cells, and pollution. Over time, this buildup can accumulate on the scalp, leaving hair looking dull and weighed down. The result? Clogged follicles and weak, brittle hair. Daily brushing helps restore balance. A boar-bristle brush gently lifts away impurities with every stroke, leaving the scalp cleaner and well-cared-for. 

2) Boost circulation to support healthy hair growth 

Each brush stroke gently massages the scalp, helping to stimulate microcirculation. Improved blood flow delivers more oxygen to the hair follicles, energizes the roots, and promotes stronger, healthier growth. A well-oxygenated scalp is better able to produce resilient hair over time, making it the foundation of long-lasting hair health. 

For an even more invigorating massage, try the traditional 100-brushstroke technique. It helps stimulate the entire scalp with slow, even strokes. 

3) Naturally rebalance oil production 

An oily scalp combined with dry, dull hair often results from uneven sebum distribution. The good news for scalp care? A boar-bristle brush. Its natural bristles draw natural oils from the roots and distribute them evenly along the length of the hair. With regular brushing, oil is distributed more evenly throughout the hair, helping it stay fresher between washes while restoring softness and shine to the lengths. 

4) Take care of sensitive scalps with a gentler touch 

When it comes to a sensitive scalp, one rule is more important than any other: be gentle. Swap out plastic bristles for a gentler alternative. Plastic bristles can feel harsh on delicate scalps and may cause discomfort such as irritation, redness, and tightness. Instead, choose a first-cut boar bristle brush fromStudio collection, designed specifically for sensitive scalps. Its exceptionally soft bristles cleanse, massage, and stimulate the scalp while treating it with the care it deserves.  

5) Which brush is best for a healthier scalp? 

To unlock all these benefits, choosing the right brush is key—and using each brush in the correct order makes all the difference. Start by detangling with the Altesse Studio brush. Made with bio-based nylon bristles, it glides through knots without pulling on the scalp or causing unnecessary breakage. Then follow with the Altesse Studio brush. Its premium boar bristles massage the scalp, lift away impurities, and distribute natural oils from root to tip. Two essential steps, two brushes designed to work together.
