A magnetoresistive read head includes a magnetoresistive sensor and a bias structure adjacent to the magnetoresistive sensor. The bias structure provides a magnetostatic bias field for the magnetoresistive sensor. The bias structure includes an underlayer, a bias layer over the underlayer, and at least one dusting layer directly below at least one of the underlayer or the bias layer.
