What is the best brush for oily hair?

When you have oily hair, finding a brush that suits your scalp is not always easy. But rest assured: at La Bonne Brosse, there is a brush for every hair type. Discover which brush is best for caring for oily hair and slowing sebum production.

The best hairbrush for oily hair

We are all different, and so is our hair. That is why La Bonne Brosse has created a range of combs and brushes for every scalp type. Rich in boar bristles, the N°01 The Universal Care & Shine hairbrush is the best brush for oily hair. It picks up sebum at the roots and distributes it evenly through the lengths, letting your hair breathe. Say goodbye to dry ends: your boar-bristle brush helps moisturise your hair from root to tip. And because it is so gentle, it does not stimulate sebum production unnecessarily, helping your hair stay clean for longer.
Does your hair tangle easily, too? Choose the N°02 The Essential Care & Detangling hairbrush, a two-in-one brush. Its nylon pins and boar bristles glide gently through your hair, easing out knots while picking up excess sebum at the roots. If your scalp is particularly sensitive, choose the N°03 The Essential Softness hairbrush for a deeply relaxing moment.

Good habits for a less oily scalp

Oily hair is caused by excess sebum. Many factors can contribute, including hormonal changes, stress, pollution and a poor diet. That is why healthy habits and a few simple steps matter, including looking after your hairbrush. It is hard to keep your hair clean if your brush is full of dust and dirt. Remember to clean your boar-bristle brush regularly so it continues to work at its best. Bear in mind, too, that the more you brush your hair, the more you stimulate sebum production. We know our brushes are a pleasure to use, but take care not to brush too often. Brushing two to three times a day for five minutes is more than enough. Likewise, the more frequently you wash your hair, the sooner it becomes oily again. Try spacing out your shampoos to avoid encouraging excess sebum production.
