QuoteReplyTopic: Best Non-silicone Shampoo/Conditioner? Posted: September 18 2005 at 7:10pm
Does anyone know of any really good non-silicone shampoo/conditoners I
could find at my local drugstore or Walmart? I've been using VO5
shampoo and conditioner but they don't seem all that great. I've had to deep condition to get my hair soft. Any help? Thank you.
My experience of late is that without silicones and clarifying, my hair
never feels soft, and always tangles. (Everyone's hair is different, of
course). I don't know of a non-silicone conditioner at those
stores, as I had no luck finding one there (anyone else know?) besides
the V05.
When I don't want to use cones, I use Avalon, which you can find in
some GNC stores. Its about 7 bucks a bottle, but is natural and
has no cones or sulfates. I use both the shampoo and conditioner,
but do need a cone conditioner afterward for softness.

Jennifer's hair is the same way. We have to use something with
cones when we wash her hair or the tangles would do more damage than
the cones. Clarifying removes them and her hair seems to look and
feel great so we don't worry about it.
As an update, we did begin to have troubles with CO suddenly for no
apparent reason. Suddenly, she got a terrible flakey head and we
couldn't clear it up with ACV or with scritching so we cut all her hair
off (just kidding!!) ..... we started using shampoo once every
week to 10 days and CO in between. So far so good.

Ive been using Natures Gate jojoba shampoo and conditioner(no cones) and it seems to be just fine.Of course Im growing hair out so its not long yet so I cant speak about the tangling effect. I find if I leave the conditioner on my hair wrapped in a warm towel for
about 15 min or more, then rinse well with warm water and final rinse cool it feels as good as a silicone cond.would. I think most NG products are cone free.
Hope that helps.

I had the same problem with the COing and had to go back on shampoo.
After trying tea tree oil and Nutrigena T Gel, I finally had luck with
the **extra strength** T Gel for the flakes. I'm trying to do that once
a week and am weaning back on to the COing for the rest of the days.
Thorn, I use Suave's Milk and Honey conditioner (from their Naturals line) and really love it. I believe it's cone free.

I never heard of the T/Gel, but did a Google search on it. I see
they also have it in a conditioner that is supposed to control
flakes. We might give it a try using the T/Gel conditioner once a
week as part of the CO wash and do the regular CO (V05 strawberries and
cream/Suave Humectant/Pantene deep conditioner) for the other
washes. Is that what you were talking about or are you just using
the T/Gel shampoo and not the conditioner?
I looked at my two tresemme conditioners and they both contain a type of silicone. If it ends in cone then it's one. It's still a good conditioner and works great for me.
I tried to go with a non-cone conditioner and it just didn't agree with my hair so it looks like mine is one that needs a bit. One that I used was the Giovanni brand that you can get at most health food stores (got mine at Wild Oats). I still use some of the products for they're still a good brand. Another is Nature's Gate which has a great moisturizing shampoo with Lemon Verbena and Camomile (I think) that I use. No harsh chemicals. I'm sure they're conditioners are just as good. It's a good brand to try too.

MrsMNK, sodium Laureth sulfate is not good for your hair. That is one of the ingredients in Johnson's baby shampoo. I've never used johnsons products on my bubbas as I found them too harsh. I guess they sell them because ppl believe they must be good if they are for babies. Profit is the name of the game.

HI Thorn. What country are you in? There is an excellent brand here in Australia called "natural instincts" with the entire product line made from herbs, essential oils etc. NO nasty chemicals. I am sure there would be similar product lines where you live? Maybe someone else who lives near you could advise?
