Best Natural Shampoo and Conditioner

June 22, 2016

Best Natural Shampoo and Conditioner

Between dealing with autoimmune disease, medication-related hair loss, and annoying bouts of eczema, I’m always on the hunt to find the best natural personal care products that won’t aggravate my health any further. Finding the best natural shampoo and conditioner can especially be a challenge. My goal is to still get that luxurious feel from a shampoo and conditioner, but without the sulfates, chemical preservatives, synthetic fragrances, and other harsh chemicals that often come with conventional hair care products.

I’ve tried several natural hair care brands, but many of them leave my hair feeling dry, are difficult to use, or they contain undesirable ingredients.

That’s why I was so happy when I discovered the following natural shampoo and conditioner brands. They are easy to use, contain nourishing ingredients, and leave my hair healthy and shiny. All these brands are also sulfate-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and safe for color treated hair. Check, check, and check.

If you’re concerned that these sulfate-free shampoos won’t lather enough, no need to worry. I’m able to get a nice, gentle lather as long as I make sure to soak my hair thoroughly before applying (I’m talking like an extra 10 seconds under the shower stream). If I still find that the shampoo isn’t lathering as I’d like, I’ll briefly wet my hair again and add a little more shampoo, and suddenly I’m able to easily get a luxurious lather that makes me feel like I’m using one of those sudsy conventional brands.

So here are my favorite three brands. They keep my hair healthy and shiny, while helping to encourage far less hair loss. Plus they smell heavenly!

and

Root Pretty Hair Day Conditioner

 

Best Natural Shampoo and Conditioner

Update (as of 7/9/2018): I’m so fortunate to have discovered Root, because my new favorite natural shampoo and conditioner are Root Pretty Hair Day Shampoo and Root Pretty Hair Day Conditioner! The shampoo alone leaves my hair so soft and never feeling “stripped.” Meanwhile, the conditioner adds just the perfect amount of moisture for an ideal finishing touch.

Both the shampoo and conditioner are made of organic, nourishing ingredients. They are vegan, safe for color treated hair, and free of sulfates, parabens, gluten, and synthetic fragrance. All of this, plus they leave my hair soft, healthy, and scented with a lovely, sweet natural fragrance (seriously, the scent is divine).

Root Pretty Hair Day Shampoo Ingredients:
Organic Aloe Vera Leaf Juice, Organic Chamomile Flower Extract, Organic Calendula Flower Extract, Organic Cucumber Peel Extract, EcoCert CocoGlucoside (coconut & glucose derived), Potassium Cocoate (from coconut), Sodium Chloride (salt), Caprylic & Lauric Acid (from coconut), EcoCert Propanediol 1,3 (vegetable derived), Sodium Lactate (salt), Potassium Sorbate (food grade preservative), Organic Grapefruit Essential Oil

Root Pretty Hair Day Conditioner Ingredients:

If you want to try them out before fully committing, Root also offers trial/sample/travel sizes of both their shampoo and conditioner. (In fact, Root conveniently offers trial sizes for many of their products. This is how I discovered many of their products, including their amazing Beauty Sleep Perfecting Serum…wow!)

Best Natural Shampoo and Conditioner, 100% Pure Honey & Virgin Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner

100% Pure Honey & Virgin Coconut Shampoo and 100% Pure Honey & Virgin Coconut Conditioner are also one of my favorite natural shampoo and conditioner duos. Not only are they nourishing and gentle, but they smell absolutely delicious. 100% Pure has many products with lovely scents, and they are all scented naturally (from fruit extractions). So if you want a natural shampoo and conditioner but prefer something sweet smelling and less “earthy,” this is the way to go.

100% Pure’s formulas do not contain synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, chemical preservatives, sulfates, detergents or any other harsh ingredients. Although this particular duo is not vegan (because they contain cruelty-free honey), 100% Pure features other great natural shampoo and conditioner options that are vegan. After using this natural shampoo and conditioner, my hair feels soft and healthy (and it smells yummy).
