to make a long story short, my hair is falling out. it goes through phases, but when it's at it's worst, my scalp gets incredibly itchy. i've been using new! solid shampoo for just over a year and recently had to change over to a new bar because my old one ran out. i feel like the new bar doesn't work as well as the old one. instead of taking care ( Read more... )

I thought they were transitioning the shampoo bars away from SLS. Maybe the SLS was helping the original poster?

They are transitioning them to Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Which is the same chemical as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, only more dilute. Both are linked to hair loss.

Soak and float is for the itchies. And it's not lush, but perhaps you could do a coconut oil treatment once a week. Use pure coconut oil (nothing with petroleum) and apply it to your scalp and hair. Wrap it up and wash it out the next morning

I feel like each Angels on Bare Skin is different each time I get a new one. I don't know if it's me or if the last bit of the last one is oilier than the first bit so it stands to reason... ? I haven't found the same to be true for my solid shampoos but I get a new one each time for variety. :) SOrry I'm little help.

I'd say soak&float for the itching too, but I dunno it's quite harsh - maybe try snake oil instead?
I'd suggest Rehab for the hair loss, to strengthen it - though your hair could be falling out because of genetics, poor diet, dehydration, over-brushing, stress... so many things!
Make sure you're rinsing shampoo and conditioner out very well too.

Maybe try a hair treatment too, especially if it's stress-related - could be more pampering is in order to relax you a bit.

I would try rehab. It has yummy things like olive oil to condition and nourish the scalp, but the peppermint will stimulate. Did anyone else notice their hair growing faster while using Rehab, or am I just crazy?
