A HAIR WHIZZ has revealed the one way to stop your hair from getting greasy - and it's all to do with the hairbrush you use.

Abbey Yung, a haircare pro shared the beauty secret on TikTok, explaining why one certain hairbrush can banish oils.

In the clip, she said: "This is one of the most underrated tips for oily hair.

"Something most people don't realise is that within about 4 days after washing your hair, you remove up to 70% of the oil on your scalp by brushing it.

"And the best way to make sure that you're removing the most amount of oil possible is by using a boar bristle brush."

The hair expert went on to explain that boar bristles not only remove the oil but also redistribute it to the ends making your hair soft and shiny.

Abbey explained: "Unlike other bristles, boar bristles are actually porous.

"So they're going to be able to pick up more of the oil on your scalp and not only remove it to make your scalp look cleaner, but also redistribute it through your lengths and ends."

The video posted to her account @abbeyyung has since gone viral with over 140k views and over 11k likes.

People were quick to thank Abbey for sharing her expert advice in the comments section.
