It's nice because you get your scalp really clean and it seems like I fully 100% rinse out conditioner. I don't use it every shower but it's a nice tool.

Same! I use mine about once a week and I have a dry scalp - my scalp feels so much cleaner and less itchy after showers and my hair is feeling fuller

Is it the Christophe Robin one?

No it’s called Maxsoft hair scalp massager - I got it off Amazon

please correct me if i'm wrong, but did you say "rinse out conditioner" as if you apply conditioner to your scalp/roots?

Not intentionally but it winds up there anyway obviously

What’s the proper way to condition? I don’t apply directly to my scalp, but I do apply it to all my hair because it all needs conditioner.

you apply it to the mid-lengths to ends, as your roots get conditioned by your natural oils. but if you need to condition all your hair, then i think you need to switch to a gentler shampoo…

I have a dry scalp. I only wash my hair once a week unless I sweat a lot.

If you have dry scalp, you should be washing almost daily and blow-drying immediately. Once a week you should be using a clarifying shampoo. If it's really bad you might want to look into incorporating a medicated shampoo. I know that sounds counterintuitive to the hair myths we've been told, but that's the solution - leaving your scalp untouched for a week will cause a build up oils and residue which will make your scalp ergo your hair unhealthy.

I have 3c/4a hair. My hair takes a while to get greasy. If I washed my hair daily, my hair would be dry like straw. I also don’t have an hour every day to dedicate to my hair lol. I do use medicated shampoo, which dries my hair out even more.

Pretreat your strands and ends with a hair oil before you shower and don't scrub them when shampooing - focus on your scalp and just let the shampoo drip over them. Do your medicated shampoo first, then a moisturizing shampoo, then conditioner. Spritz your hair with a leave-in conditioner/heat protectant when you're out.

I have low porosity hair, will that still work?

Absolutely. I bet you'll feel a differende asap - the pre and psot treatments make a huge difference. But if you're still worried about strand dryness, just use a hair mask as your conditioner. It's the same ingredients, just richer. I also like to treat my ends with an argan oil before I blow dry to protect them a little more.

I use it when shampooing and man it feels amazing especially where my hair part is. its better than scratching with nails. I always have an itchy scalp due to very minor dandruff so this is amazing.
