💆‍♀️ Oily Hair Every Other Day? These Two Brushes Might Solve the Problem

If you feel like your hair gets greasy the day after washing – you’re not alone. Oily hair is one of the most common hair care concerns, especially for people with straight hair and active sebaceous glands. While many reach for shampoo immediately, experts say the right tool can make a big difference – specifically, the brush you use.

Read on to discover which two brushes can help with oily hair, how to use them properly, and how to slow down excess oil production on the scalp.

🧴 Why Does Hair Get Oily So Quickly?

The oil you feel is sebum – a natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands on your scalp. It serves a protective role but can be overproduced due to:

• daily washing (which causes the scalp to compensate by producing more oil)

• improper brushing

• frequently touching your hair

• hormonal imbalances and stress

🪮 1. Brush with Natural Bristles (Usually Boar Bristles)

This brush helps distribute sebum evenly from the scalp to the ends, which:

✔ prevents oil buildup at the roots
✔ protects hair ends from drying out
✔ gives natural shine without additional products

🟢 How to use:
Use daily on dry hair, brushing gently from roots to ends. Ideal for your evening routine before bedtime.

🧽 2. Scalp Cleansing Brush

This brush is used during shampooing and helps:

✔ remove excess sebum and buildup
✔ stimulate circulation and healthy hair growth
✔ deeply cleanse the scalp without scratching with fingernails

🟢 How to use:
After applying shampoo, gently massage your scalp in circular motions for 1–2 minutes. Be gentle – no hard pressure. This method also helps with dandruff!

🧠 Bonus Tips for Oily Hair:

✅ Don’t wash your hair every day – 2–3 times per week is ideal
✅ Avoid shampoos with heavy silicones and sulfates
✅ Don’t apply conditioner near the roots
✅ Use dry shampoo as a temporary fix, not a daily solution
✅ Clean your brushes regularly – oil transfers back onto your hair!

🌿 Conclusion

You don’t have to accept that your hair gets oily every other day. By adding the right brushes to your routine – such as one with natural bristles and a scalp massage brush – you can significantly improve scalp health and reduce oiliness.
