I use L'Oreal shampoos/conditioners and their glossing cream, and just about cried when I saw their new formulas with discontinuation of their old ones.  Why mess with products that were so great?!! 
 
Have you seen a dermatologist about your contact dermatitis?  It does sound like a true pain in the a$$, and sorry it has caused you great frustration.  It does sound like more of a skin problem than a 'product' problem.  Or both.
 
Sorry I wasn't more help!

I think you'll just have to experiment until you find something that works... because it looks like you're not sure what's causing the irritation.

Have you tried organic products like KissMyFace and Aubrey Organics?
Have you tried stuff that is fragrance-free? Oftentimes the fragrance is what causes the irritation. Fragrance free "shampoo base" or "conditioner base" is also something you can look into...
Have you tried shampoo bars and apple cider vinegar?

I'd rule out the fragrance thing first.

Hi,
 
Recently the conditioner I have been using that worked wonderfully for me has been discontinued and replaced with new formulas.  It was Loreal ColorVive conditioner for dry hair.  I get contact dermatitis from just about every shampoo and conditioner I have tried and that is a lot.  If you can name it I have probably tried it.  The only shampoos that I can find the really work for me are Straight Sexy Hair shampoo and Redken So long shampoo.  I need to find a conditioner that 1. doesn't iritate my skin, 2. won't make my face break out from oils, 3. cause my scalp to flake and hair fall out, 4. won't make my hair dry out.  I can't use anything in the drug stores and I have tried several salon brands and so far no luck.  I hate spending so much money on trying to find the perfect product but I don't want to be miserable by scratching an itchy scalp or having my face break out in zits.  I am just so frusterated because that conditioner was perfect.  I had shiny hair, no breakouts, no irritation, and body in my hair.  I tried Loreals new versions and they make me break out and irritate my skin.  I am now back to the drawing board. If you all could help me out I would appreciate it because I am running out of options, thank you.
