I like both of your articles on cosmetics and shampoos.  Would you mind sharing the brand/product names of the ones you like?  I'll share one with you:  Desert Essence Organics Body Care makes six hand and body lotions that are vegan, wheat, and gluten free.  I like the lavender and the vanilla-chai.<br/><br/>

I was formerly in love with the Desert Essence Organics Shampoos and Conditioners--their scents are simply amazing.  But once I discovered Sircuit Skin's Liquid Crystal Shampoo and Crystal Cream Conditioner, I was a fast convert.  Friends were even asking if I had just come from the salon!  The Sircuit Skin products are pricier, but because they are concentrates, the bottles last twice as long as any others. <br/><br/>

I had some bad news, Sircuit Skin may have been wrong about the gluten free status of two products in their line (Crystal Cream and Happiness).  The wheat germ oil in these two products has come into question, Sircuit Skin is checking with their lab, so I will know soon whether it is 'safe.'
I am buying and trying out alternatives already, so as soon as I know how the products perform, I will let you know.  
As for something very gentle, California Baby is free of gluten, milk, eggs, peanuts, almonds, pecans, cashews, walnut, fish, shellfish, casein and fragrance (but they do use coconut derivatives).
I have been doing some research for you Lisa, and I am really excited about a product I have just found.  Now, I have not tried this, so I cannot tell you how well it works, but there is a line called Timothy Han London.  His shampoo contains only five ingredients, all of which sound safe for you!! 
I will be trying this out too--it could be a wonderful option for sensitive scalps, I will let you know what I learn!!<br/><br/>

The search continues, I will let you know when I find something for you!!<br/><br/>

I had major hair loss before I went gluten free.  
Getting gluten completely out of my diet cured it!  Good luck.<br/><br/>

Unfortunately, I have been through that as well.  Speaking from personal experience, using very natural, gluten-free hair care products helps me, and I have also heard from many other women with celiac or gluten intolerance that supplements for hair and skin can help, since our bodies might be lacking in some of the important nutrients.  It would probably be a good idea to watch the topical products and talk to a nutritionist regarding the supplements.  Good luck!  And I know it can be so stressful, but don't worry it WILL get better, just watch your diet and stay away from gluten.
Take care!
Kristen<br/><br/>

The most likely reason for your hair loss is the malabsorption that comes along with celiac disease.  as your villi heals and you start to absorb more of your nutrients from your food, your hair will come back.  I had the same problem.<br/><br/>

I have had irritations to hair products since beauty school but have just figured out the ingredients causing the problems. 

Rumor has it, another stylist to have these issues had to find another line of work due to her issues. 

Now I have been sent on a mission to find a professional line of products with gluten-free status, including hair color. I have checked with my distributors and everyone is on the hunt. 

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know, for the sake of my career. 

Also, if anyone has experienced symptoms after leaving the salon, please let me know. I realized the days I am in the salon for longer periods of time, I leave with headaches & extremely fatigued...perhaps from inhaling hairspray all day.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks for your input.<br/><br/>

Since then, it has gradually been getting thinner. I didn't pay much attention, until I realized my hair is now less than half the thickness it was, and you can see a lot of my scalp along my part. Another thing that caught my attention is my eyelashes, eyebrows, arm hair, etc. are all the same as they've ever been. I had heard that gluten on the skin wouldn't affect us, that we had to actually ingest it but I have to disagree. Come to find out, my Suave spray gel has hydrolyzed wheat protein in it. I have since stopped using it and have switched to a more natural Garnier formula of shampoo and conditioner, and found a gluten free gel. I now lose about 6 strands of hair in the shower every morning as opposed to 30. I'd say those who say gluten can't be absorbed through the skin need to be corrected. I don't get hives or anything like some others do, but I like my hair and would like to keep it! Thanks for you article, it made me look at my hair care ingredients. Now I won't be bald at 21!<br/><br/>

I get there to find out that the solution has wheat in it. We called the company and it was not gluten free.  I really want a perm and need it to be spiral but am having no luck finding a solution.  The stylist and I are both looking and she said if I find one she will do it.  Any help would be great!<br/><br/>
