Organic shampoo/conditioner suggestions for fine straight hair?

Anonymous

Dear all,

Wondering if some of you have some suggestions. I am trying as best I can to avoid all parabens, etc. in my skin and hair care (already able to do it with my cosmetics). I have fine, straight hair, about shoulder length, and I'm finding that it isn't thinning, but that after some years on AIs, it's "flatter" than it used to be.

Any suggestions? I'm willing to buy online if necessary, but I need hair care products that will add even a little body and life to my hair.

Thank you!

I like the Shea Moisture products. No chemicals and safe for colored hair. I have very fine and genetically thin hair and the products work well for me. I also take 5,000 mcg of biotin daily. You can find these products at CVS and Walgreens.

I don't have thin hair - or at least I didn't used to - it is just growing back in post chemo:) but I use coconut oil for everything. Before chemo it gave my hair a really nice shine and during chemo I massaged my sensitive scalp with it and the rest of my body, incl. nails to keep them strong. I get the organic coconut oil at a Health food store. I also use it for oil pulling on my teeth as the chemo really made my gums sensitive. Good luck!

I have thin wavy hair, about hair type 2A. I have tried this Cantu moisturizing conditioner -- found it at Walmart. It seems not to have any objectionable ingredients. But it does not have "-cones," so it does not give my hair the "slip" needed for detangling. I gave my Cantu conditioner to an acquaintance having wavier, shorter hair, and she likes it very much.

I've used the 365 lavender shampoo and conditioner fro Whole Foods. I can honestly say it's not my favorite, but I suppose it's better than the alternative.

In addition, the meleluca shampoo and conditioner is pretty decent. I just hate the monthly auto ship orders!

I bought Macadamia professional from amazon, the ultra rich moisture shampoo and conditioner, no added sulfates, free of parabens and gluten color safe and cruelty safe, it is for very course and coiled hair, but I didn't know that when I bought it, and is works well for my hair I have frizzy long rather fine hair and trying to keep it with the dignicap. 17 days past my 1st chemo, shedding is not too bad, and no scalp issues except a bit of ichiness once in a while. I have used this shampoo twice now.

Lush solid shampoos are very gentle.

I have very fine, thin hair that is falling out from AIs. I don't have a specific brand to recommend but, after a traumatic tangled hair situation which ended up with my hairdresser having to cut half of my hair out, because of tangles, I wanted to share what I've learned. Beware of thickening shampoos. Some of them contain ingredients that make the hair strands wiry. Instead of thin hair, you will have fuzzy hair.

I use products with some type of oil to protect my strands.

I try to wash my hair once a week or less.

Jason brand of shampoos and conditioners for different types of hair. Sold at Whole Foods and online, CVS and others sell it online.

I use Lush Roots as my shampoo/conditioner; even with super oily (and super fine, a great combination) hair, I find it keeps my scalp and hair clean and not greasy.

It does have peppermint in it, though, which I mention as I know some people don't like the sensation of peppermint on their head (kind of cool and tingly).

The main downside is that it's pretty expensive; I think it runs about $25 for the 8oz tub; one tub lasts me about a month and a half, though, as you don't need much since you really just need to be washing the root/scalp area anyway.

As a bonus, Roots seems to add volume without frizz to my hair so it looks less thin/fine.
