good shampoo? - Hair Problems Message Board

I am looking for a shampoo and conditioner that is mostly natural and is good for the hair and scalp. Anyone have any suggestions? I've been using Pantene but I'm not too happy with it.

One thing I learned on my own by accident is, I was getting a bath and added some epsom salt to it. I was soaking for a wee bit because I was reading my book but anyway, my hair got good and soaked and the next day it was so nice and shiny. I guess it was from the salt in the water.

I am looking for a good shampoo though. My hair and scalp are just normal.

I use Pureology, it is a bit pricy, but you don't have to use a lot and it lasts a long time, it is worth the money!

I like products from Burts bees and Avalon Organics. Stay away from products with these chemicals.

Oh, I hate all those chemicals and wish it was easier to stay away from them.

Good idea! Burts bees is at a lot of the stores where I live. I'll try to get some. It's just that the price for the "good" stuff costs so much more, but I'm sure it's worth it.
