Hi,
Sorry to hear of your shampoo challenges.
I would suggest that you go to the nearest health food store and ask them to recommend the most gentle hypoallergenic product. I think you might do well with Aubrey Organics but be sure to get the shampoo that is the most gentle.
I would also suggest you consider diluting any shampoo you try. You might even try the dilution method with California Baby. I personally dilute 1 tablespoon of shampoo to 1 gallon of lukewarm water...shake and make a suds.
Be sure to get your hair and scalp very wet before you apply the diluted shampoo. Once hair is very wet (I use clean gallon jugs prefilled with lukewarm water to make sure I complete douse my head. Then pour the diluted shampoo formula over the top of your scalp and pat...don't rub...the suds into your scalp and strands.
This method will remove dirt and grime but is very unlikely to damage hair or cause hives, breakouts or a feeling of heaviness. That's because you are still getting the benefit of a cleansing without all the chemicals.
There are many possibilities of why your scalp and hair reacted the way it did but try either the dilution option with CB or check out an Aubrey Organics shampoo. I would suggest you dilute ANY shampoo you try for awhile until your scalp recovers.
I have not used undiluted shampoo on my hair or scalp for years and my hair is clean without any type of reactions.
Hope that helps. Good luck.
