Help! I Need Good gluten-free Hair Styling Products

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:

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
