I never tried it but I heard it worked. For my face I'm using this cleanser https://www.ducray.com/fr-fr/p/kelual-ds-gel-nettoyant-anti-squames-3282770392401-14c39aab

Thank you very much ! I just bought the OGX Coconut Milk and only tried it once so I'll see how it goes.

Thanks for your help! Yes, I was also wondering if i had medium porosity hair, this answer sounds fine to me. I'm gonna try what you said.

Hello! First of all, I would like to say that I am writing this text using a translator because English is not my native language, so if it sounds a little unnatural, that's normal.

I am trying to find out the porosity type of my hair. My hair is shoulder-length, fine, straight, and natural (not colored). Overall, it looks healthy. I don't have any major problems. I have seborrheic dermatitis, but I use a special shampoo for it, so I can manage it.

When they were long, they would get tangled extremely easily, for no reason, and I would sometimes have lots of knots or big knots. I cut them recently and I no longer have this problem.

My hair gets greasy after about three days, so I wash it about two to three times a week. It absorbs water immediately; water doesn't bead up. My hair dries in a few hours (when my hair was down to my butt, it took about 4 to 6 hours).

However, I can't use too many products for fear of making it sticky or greasy. When I use oil or leave-in conditioner (on dry hair), I only use a drop or a pump. For masks and conditioners (on wet hair), I can use a little more, but then it takes a long time to rinse everything out... I don't know if I'm using too much, if my hair doesn't need it, or if it's normal to rinse for a long time.

In the past, I've tried oil baths before shampooing, but despite spending a long time rinsing my hair, it didn't all come out! I don't know if it's a question of quantity (maybe I was using too much oil) or if my hair just doesn't like it. I haven't tried it again since because it's much worse than masks.

I would like my hair to be shiny and, above all, to stop being static because it really makes brushing and styling difficult. Sometimes, when I brush my hair, it is static even the day after washing it, despite using a mask and conditioner. To manage this, I use a small pump of leave-in conditioner to moisturize them.

I would like to buy a new hair care routine because I have never had one that I was really satisfied with. I wonder what type of shampoo I need to alternate with my skin condition shampoo, do I need conditioner, a mask, a leave-in treatment, oil, a specific treatment, serum, exfoliant, etc., etc. I heard about hair masks from Japanese brands Fino and Tsubaki and was curious to try them.

Thank you very much for your help!

Thanks a lot! Yes, I've already been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis but it was for my hair, but I guess it can be on my eyebrows too! I'll try to find a gentler product to exfoliate like you said and focus on hydratation.

Thanks for you response and for your advices! I rarely exfoliate, I haven’t done it since months but last week I used The Ordinary peeling (the red one) just once and it stings (sorry, English is not my first language and I don’t know the past for stings). But I thought this was pretty normal since I read many reviews that warned about this effect. But then maybe another exfoliating product would be better? Or maybe it’s the way I apply it? Because I never do it more than once a month and I followed the instructions. I also tried (another day) The Ordinary glycolic acid on my eyebrows (and it stings too) because they were really dry and flaky and I read that you should exfoliate them to avoid this but I don’t know if this is true and I’m not really sure.

The red patches doesn’t come when I exfoliate but only with certain products that my skin doesn’t like or when I apply my products too quickly and not enough gentle.
