Hi, 20F, diagnosed with pcos (suspected endometriosis but im unsure if thats relevant). Relatively dense hair despite hair loss, wavy and idk porosity but my hair stays wet for relatively long after i shower.

My whole life i've had super greasy hair (somewhere around 12 hours after i shower it doesn't feel the same, by hour 24 i can smell the classic grease smell from my own scalp).

Both my bio parents struggled with this post puberty their whole lives (father shaved his head, mommy just washes hers every day)

I have tried the following:

\- different shampoos (dermatologist recommended from the pharmacy, clarifying, etc.)
\- training it (no washing for a few days, brushing with boar bristles to distribute oils)
\- oral contraceptives (three kinds, one multi phasic that helped my other symptoms but never this)
\- seeing a dermatologist (doc said its probably seborrheic dermatitis and theres nothing i can do besides 'wash it daily or be a little greasy' gee thanks)
\- double shampoo, blow drying on cool immediately after, air drying, no shampoo just water, basically all the hacks

Info: my face also produces excess sebum (to the point where if i press with mild force on my t zone anywhere this clear yellowish liquid will come out)
like i am not exaggerating if you press a tissue on my face it will be WET as if you dipped your finger in water
again my docs said birth control or products to manage it, both of which ive tried but to little to no avail

i change my pillow case almost daily, if i dont change it i flip it over
i change my towels often, wash them on high heat and dry them properly, if i smell mildew they're gone

i am sure i shampoo correctly as i've literally done a hairdressing course

please please anyone who can think of anything i haven't tried is welcome to comment, i feel like i'm going crazy!!!
i work in retail and in the depo we have this ac vent that blows straight down and every time i walk under it i am accosted by a waft of grease and typical 'unwashed hair' must DESPITE the fact that i washed my hair at 8-11 pm the night before and it is now 10 am

like i mentioned my face has the same disgusting smell issue and enlarged pores that squirt yellowish puss literally daily but thats a problem for another subreddit, i only mentioned it because i refuse to believe these things are unrelated

thanks

edit: the seb derm accusation in my title is because my dermatologist suggested thats what it MIGHT be since i also have flaking on my nose, cheeks, and scalp (tf you mean might girl if you don't know who does)
