Need A Leave-In Conditioner/detangler

My oldest has typical "little girl ratty hair".  Same drill as most moms have - she doesn't brush it great, but won't let me touch it.

 

We've tried Suave detangler - it wasn't good for her hair.  Now we're trying Panten - also not good.

 

Anybody have a gluten-free one that you really love?  I'm willing to spend more on this because "kid" hair products tend to be junky.

 

Thanks.

Seems that the good ones have wheat germ oil in them. A few years back, my hairdresser used one that was sunflower oil based. Maybe you could find that at a beauty supply store? Sorry. I don't remember the name.

What kind of hair does your daughter have, straight/curly etc?  And were the suave and pantene ones too light?  I would definitely recommend checking out a beauty supply store- usually they have decent prices and you can check it online, too.  Here are a couple:

Also if you have Ulta where you live, they have a huge selection, too, but do carry some high end stuff that may not be in the kiddo price range.

 

This stuff has been around for forever, I assume it works:

Just glancing through ingredients, lots of them do have wheat protein or wheat germ oil.  Ick!  Hope you find something :)

Laura - it's straight, but very thick.  She, along with a lot of her friends, brush the outside layer while the inside layer turns into a rat's nest.  I can't believe how difficult it's been to find a decent gluten free option!

 

I hadn't considered running into Sally, but it's just down the street.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, ladies!  If anybody has another option let me know. :)

I use Desert Essance leave ins, i have thick curly hair and it works out alright... they make several products and are all gluten free as far as I know. + They smell pretty good :)

I believe that most  Dove shampoo products are Gluten free, and so their leave in conditioner may well be the same, you would have to check to be sure though.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
