Need A Leave-In Conditioner/detangler

My oldest has typical "little girl ratty hair".  Same drill as most moms have - she doesn't brush it great, but won't let me touch it.

 

We've tried Suave detangler - it wasn't good for her hair.  Now we're trying Panten - also not good.

 

Anybody have a gluten-free one that you really love?  I'm willing to spend more on this because "kid" hair products tend to be junky.

 

Thanks.

Seems that the good ones have wheat germ oil in them. A few years back, my hairdresser used one that was sunflower oil based. Maybe you could find that at a beauty supply store? Sorry. I don't remember the name.

What kind of hair does your daughter have, straight/curly etc?  And were the suave and pantene ones too light?  I would definitely recommend checking out a beauty supply store- usually they have decent prices and you can check it online, too.  Here are a couple:

Also if you have Ulta where you live, they have a huge selection, too, but do carry some high end stuff that may not be in the kiddo price range.

 

This stuff has been around for forever, I assume it works:

Just glancing through ingredients, lots of them do have wheat protein or wheat germ oil.  Ick!  Hope you find something :)

Laura - it's straight, but very thick.  She, along with a lot of her friends, brush the outside layer while the inside layer turns into a rat's nest.  I can't believe how difficult it's been to find a decent gluten free option!

 

I hadn't considered running into Sally, but it's just down the street.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, ladies!  If anybody has another option let me know. :)

I use Desert Essance leave ins, i have thick curly hair and it works out alright... they make several products and are all gluten free as far as I know. + They smell pretty good :)

I believe that most  Dove shampoo products are Gluten free, and so their leave in conditioner may well be the same, you would have to check to be sure though.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
