Shampoo & conditioner
Hi all! I need some help with natural shampoo/conditioner options.
Let me start off by saying that I haven't put THAT much thought into my current choices. I've been using Tresemme Naturals shampoo & conditioner for a while. It says 'lower sulfates' and 'no silicone' on the bottles, so I figured it was a little better than the regular drugstore stuff.
I think they changed their formula recently, because the products had a different consistency and my skin started breaking out around the sides of my face, shoulders, and down my back (where the products would drip when I rinsed them out). Not cool. To test my theory, I started bringing a big clip into the shower and clipping my hair up while the conditioner set. Sure enough, the breakouts calmed down within a couple of days.
So now I'm looking for alternatives. I've tried the baking soda/vinegar technique, hated it. I tried no poo, it was a disgusting mess. My skin is way too oily for that :/
Does anyone have recommendations for natural shampoo/conditioner or at least something gentle that will hopefully not make my skin so angry? Bonus points if I can find it in stores vs having to order online (located in Ontario, Canada). Homemade recommendations? Anything really. Price isn't really an issue. Obviously I'd prefer not to spend a fortune, but it's worth spending a bit more if it means my skin is happy!
Thank you :)
