Help! I Need Good gluten-free Hair Styling Products

[sylviaann]

As many of us have encountered major challenges finding gluten-free cosmetic products, I need some suggestions.

It took me six months to truly discover that a gluten-free shampoo and conditioner can have hidden gluten in the product's Fragrance. When I was a gluten-free rookie, many product manufacturers would advise me that their product was gluten-free and I would accept the answer. I discovered later (through process of elimination), I was suffering a neurological reaction after using the product. Now I have learned to ask if the fragrance contains gluten and most companies cannot guarantee the fragrance is gluten-free.

I can safely use California Baby shampoo and Shikai hair conditioner. I have very thick, textured, dry heavy hair and need a good, light styling cream and finishing product. I had to stop using KMS products and have been using Alterna Styling Mud. I love Alterna but it contains fragrance and I am suspicious that I have been reacting to it.

Does anyone know of any good hair styling aids (as mentioned above) that are gluten-free....and the fragrance in the product has been confirmed to be gluten-free??

Thanks a million,

I am still having trouble finding styling products as well. I had just tried Dove (which was gluten free), but it made my scalp burn and itch. And I have also read about others on this site having the same reaction to Dove products as well. If you are wanting to go for something organic, Desert Essence is my favorite brand so far. It can be found at Whole Foods. It's a bit on the pricey side, but they will label "100% vegan, wheat and gluten free" on the label, which is very comforting They have a fragrance free shampoo and conditioner if you are sensitive to frangrances. They unfortunately don't have styling products though....Gluten free styling products (that don't irritate!) are so hard to find.

Here's there website though:
