Hair Styling Products

Hello! I have type 3b/c curly hair for reference and I'm always looking for hair styling products (leave ins, creams, and mainly gels) that are malassezia-friendly and silicone-free. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I currently use Kinky Curly, but you can never have too many products that don't cause flare ups!

Absolutely! Same here. My sister is a massage therapist and gave me a bottle of Tamanu oil. It's been amazing, other than the pancake syrup smell. It's for skin, hair and nails. So far it's helped with my flare ups a lot. I get it really bad on the outline of my hair and eyebrows nasty scalp and my acne everywhere.(😬tmi sorry)My zits always leave a.. I was here mark, it's faded them to nothing. Lmao sorry for the tmi, I could blame it on the adhd but if I can help!I so will, I know how frustrating all of it is. πŸ₯°

When dealing with seborrheic dermatitis, it's important to choose hair styling products carefully to avoid irritation or worsening symptoms. Here are some tips:

1. Use Hair-Friendly Styling Tools:
- Opt for a soft-bristle brush or a wide-tooth comb to minimize tugging or pulling, which can prevent hair breakage and loss.

2. Avoid Excessive Styling and Heat:
- Limit the use of heat styling tools like blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons to reduce the risk of damaging your hair and scalp.

3. Gentle Drying:
- After washing your hair, gently pat it dry with a soft towel instead of vigorously rubbing it.

4. Consult Your Dermatologist:
- Ask your dermatologist for recommendations on styling products that are safe for your scalp condition.

These practices can help manage seborrheic dermatitis symptoms while maintaining healthy hair.

@A MySebDermTeam Member Thank you for your suggestions! I do have to be careful of what oils I put on my scalp, because they can be the biggest triggers for me. I'll have to check the ingredients, thanks again!
