Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I've been using Aubrey Mandarin Magic shampoo but they have just discontinued it. I love its fragrance and pure ingredients. I'm allergic to soy and wheat and it seems that any shampoos with pure ingredients tend to contain either soy or wheat derivatives or both. Or else they don't have a nice fragrance. Does anyone have a wheat-free, soy-free, chemical-free shampoo to recommend? I'm looking for something ready-made in a bottle, not something I have to make out of my own ingredients.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Hi Don & Gypsi, I personally have found that all that is required to keep the hair and scalp clean is the washing in clean water and brushing the hair well. In fact I did spend twelve months at one stage without washing my hair, only brushing it well, and had no trouble keeping it clean. During this period I was also in contact with others who had nits and did not experience any problems. Using shampoos,soaps etc., destroys the natural oils which is a major factor in protecting against infestation. I would emphasise that the brushing of the hair well is very necessary. John John L.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Have you tried Baking Soda (mixed with water to form a watery paste) with an apple cider vinegar rinse (1 T mixed in a cup of water) or a lemon rinse (diluted lemon juice ... about the same proportion as ACV) ? I've been using it for about 2 months now and my hair is great.. not to mention that I don't need to shampoo daily any more... there is a transition time but you can shorten that by 'weaning' your hair from shampoo.... mail me off list if you'd like more info carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Thanks all for your responses. I have a bunch of books in storage, and I know 2 of them are my " How it all Vegan " cookbooks. I know they have tons of recipes for beauty/cleaning products. I will have to find them.
