Gluten-Free Shampoo/Hair Products

So as we know, for those who color their hair, using salon products is most likely the best way to go. Does anyone know of a good shampoo/conditioner that is gluten-free, and great for color treated hair? I used to use Pureology, which I loved, but it makes me break out and I found out that there is wheat-protein in some of their products. My skin is SO sensitive to this and I break out for weeks when I use anything that has wheat/oats/etc. in their hair products.

Any suggestions? :D

I use Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner. They even have one for color treated hair. I also use their styling products, hairspray and hair color. When I spoke to their rep on the phone, she said ALL their shampoos and conditioners and gluten-free, but you should call about each individual styling product. Since everything I asked about WAS gluten-free I wondered if they have any products with gluten. She said she didn't think so, but couldn't make a blanket statement like that. Hope this helps.

Funny you say that, my sister bought a bottle of it and I used it last night and noticed how soft my hair felt! Thanks!!

I have heard the professional line ALTERNA is safe (though I haven't looked into this...)

I too am on a mission for a professional grade shampoo/conditioner. If I find one, I will let you know--please do the same!! :)

I was also using the Pureology line and started to break out at my hair line....perhaps they changed something.

I am looking for new skincare too--and suggestions??

Thanks

Hey Amy,

Yea, I would stay away from Pureology. Some of their items say that they are vegan, but they still make me break out. I think that they are just heavy products and clog pores easily.

I've been using the Garnier for the past few days and have been almost waiting for something to happen but nothing yet! And it makes my hair soft. I just wonder how good it is at preserving hair color.

As far as skin care goes, there are a few things that I can recommed. Anything Neutrogena seems to do the trick; they are all hypoallergenic and seem to be faily mild, I have never had a problem with them. However, I do see a dermatologist and my cleanser is a prescription. I do use a topical serum before my daily moisturizer (Neutrogena spf 15 daily facial moisturizer) and it's from Skin Ceuticals. This is the brand that my dermatologist carries in her anti-aging spa as well, check them out online. I have never had a problem with them. Also, for spot treatment I use this great stuff from Dermalogica, I can't remember the name, but if you search around on their website it's a tinted serum that has sulfer in it I believe and it dries up pimples within a day or two, it's great and there is nothing gluten about it!

I wrote to Korres and Johnathan product-- I got replies from h20+ (no!) and RUSK, as well as L'occitane-- see post. Caudalie shampoo and conditioner is gluten-free. I hope to hear back from more companies soon and I will post the results.

I still swear by my Pantene. I get remarks about how pretty my hair is all the time. How thick and shiny it is, how good it smells! I must be doing something right. I have used Garnier too, but much prefer Pantene. I was told Dove is just as good, but I really do not agree. Aussie products are good too, their 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner is great.

Hi,

I called Victoria Principal and was told all products gluten-free. I've used it for over two yrs and love it! Also, called Kenra and they said the clear styling paste is gluten-free. I use on wet hair, blow dry, then style w/ small amt. No need for hair spray. Hair has definition, volume and shine not to mention still touchable!

If you're looking for something high end, Origins says their shampoos and conditioners are all gluten free too. Haven't try them, but if they're anything like their skincare line (also mostly gluten-free) they would be awesome. :rolleyes:

Margaret, how did you find out about origins? I sent them three emails asking about this and I got no information.

I am so frustrated! I wrote to over 40 companies and only heard back from about half! For hair I also wrote to:

Johnathan Product

Korres natural products

Phytologie

Does anybody know anything about these brands?

I agree. I contact Origins and never received a call/email back.

I forgot to say that I also wrote to Bliss. Nothing. <_<

Origins sent me an email requesting specific products names. I sent a list to them twice, but I kept getting the same email back. I just give up on that one. Too bad... they also had a big scary bold caps paragraph about how any information in the email was not to be disseminated in any form.

I know this is a very old post, but today (April 6, 2012) I called Pureology before I bought their DryShine Hair Styler (Shine & Control).

They said it was gluten free.

The ingredients are below. As always, the key is that tocopheryl acetate. It can be derived from wheat, but it may also be derived from something else.

Water (Purified), PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, C12 15 Alkyl Benzoate, Oleth 20, Oleth 10, Sorbitol, Glycerin, Polyurethane 14, AMP Acrylates/Ally Methacrylate Copolymer, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax (Carnauba), VP/VA Copolymer, PPG 5 Ceteth 20, Kaolin, Cyclomethicone, Panthenol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract (Heliogenol), Polyamide 2, Cinnamidopropyl Trimonium Chloride, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Ascorbic Acid Superoxide Dismutase, Melanin (Antioxidants), Amodimethicone, C11 15 Pareth 7, Laureth 9, Trideceth 12, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, PEG 7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Aromatherapy Fragrance

As I have said many times before, the Canadian Celiac Association considers all tocopherols to be safe in food for people with celiac disease. If is is safe to eat, it is safe to put in my hair. Even if the original source was wheat, there is no detectable gluten in the resulting ingredient.

The tocopherol then becomes a minor ingredient (the 18th in order by mass, in this example) in something else.

This product is gluten-free.

tocopherol

 

 

i was just wondering about this very subject!  what ARE the specific ingredients (in all beauty products)?  reading the whole loooong list of ingredients just blows my mind...can't even pronounce them! do we have to be scientists??

 

what i'm asking is if there are 1, or  2, or 3, or more SPECIFIC ingredients we should look for on all products labels? the list looks extensive, so as mentioned in the post, it's the TOCOPHEROL that MAY be a problem...even that is questionable though.

 

i hope my question is clear....

Did you read psawyer's repsonse?

 

I just look for obvious things like - wheat germ oil.  Even then, with the exception of lip products, I'm not eating them or getting a significant amount in my mouth.

I've been a hairdresser since 1985. 10 years ago, a salon shampoo made half my hair fall out. That was right before we all started going sulfate,  paraben free. I now only use TIGI because my hair came back and hasn't dropped out heavy since. Most even salon shampoo is heavy with sodium laurel sulfate to make it foam up when we use it. The sodium content makes a lot of women over 30 have extreme hair loss. Their products also are gluten free. I've tried a bunch in allow my years but, at age 53, my hair is still as thick and luxurious as in my teens.

I assume you're in the USA :) so IDK if you guys have the brand called Herbal Essences over there but here in the UK they advertise as "no gluten". And they have a really nice range of shampoos and conditioners, I recommend them if you can find them!

Not DH, but I started having a terrible rash in my scalp which then escalated to my neck, shoulders, back etc.  I was diagnosed with adult onset eczema.  I found Neutrogena T-Gel absolutely brilliant and still use it as my main shampoo.  For some reason my hair which is naturally curly but fine really responds well to it - just one shampoo and rinse, and then I use a leave on conditioner before letting it dry naturally.  It has looked thicker from the very first use.  I also think taking vitamin D regularly has helped my hair a lot, having been deficient for years.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Hello, My husband has had issues with really bad diarreah for over nine months now. In mid November, he went to the doctor for what they thought was a bad cold, which two weeks later was diagnosed as bronchitis. A week later, in December, I had to take him back to urgent care and from there, to the emergency room cause his vitals were too low. They said he was having an Addisionan crisis and he spent five days in the ICU. Since my husband has Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type II (type 1 diabetes, Addison's and Hashimoto's), I fought for a blood test to determine if he had Celiacs. Given the results of the test, he was told to go to a gastro for an endoscopy. It took two months to get his first appointment with the gastro. Still waiting for the endoscopy appointment. He stopped eating gluten in the hospital and has followed a gluten-free diet since. His diarreah continues to be as bad as before he stopped eating gluten. Still has a horrible cough that makes him hack. His energy is so depleted he pretty much goes to work, comes home and goes lie in bed. He is having issues regulating body temperature. He is barely eating (he's lost 20 pounds since mid-December). Body aches. Totally run down. He has been taking more prednisone lately to try to counter the symptoms.  Today, we went to his endo to discuss these things. She said to continue taking increased amount of prednisone (even though I explained that the increased dosage is only allowing him to do the bare minimum). According to the endo, this is all related to Celiacs. I am concerned because I know that both Celiacs and Addison's can have similar symptoms, but don't know if he would still be having these many symptoms (worsening, at that) related to the Celiac's after stopping gluten two months ago. If anyone in this group has a combination of Celiacs and Addison's, could you please share your experience? I am really concerned and am feeling frustrated. His primary care provider and endocrinologist don't seem to consider this serious enough to warrant prompt attention, and we'll see about the gastro.  Thanks.

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.
