Rhapsody Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi peeps! Im going to try the keratin hair treament comme ceci-http://www.straightenmyhair.com/?categoryPage=1 but I have quite a bad scalp condition that I keep in check with a special shampoo. After Keratin you cannt use anything containing Sodium Chloride (salt) can anyone recommend a shampoo that will fit the bill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) I cant help you with the shampoo but are you aware there was a health warning recently. This week I read an article warning of the dangerous ingredients in keratin hair treatments (that are often hidden and not stated on the list)... now I cant remember were I read it but have found something similar here http://www3.hants.gov.uk/tradingstandards/tradingstandards-consumeradvice/tradingstandards-hairproduct.htm sorry I cant post the link but sure you can cut and paste Edited April 16, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Again not sure about the keratin but we have started to use one of the shampoo bars from Lush which is for scalp problems. It has Cade oil in it and has had a good effect on both of us - not a flake to be seen now! Its is called 'Soak and Float' and does not have any salt in it. ingredients : sodium lauryl sulphate, water, cade oil,lavender oil, marigold petals, rose petals, limonene, perfume and colour (not sure why the last two) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 ingredients : sodium lauryl sulphate Isn't "sodium" salt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Sodium chloride is salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Don't know about the keratin, but I use organic shampoo because anything with SLS (sodium laureth sulphate) in gives me a really itchy scalp. I wasn't brave enough to try the 'no shampoo' approach (search for that thread if you have an hour or two to spare!). The non SLS shampoos don't leave your hair feeling 'squeaky' clean or ultra shiny but my hair's been much less greasy since I started using them.

yvonne Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Would endorse avoiding SLS where possible, I try to get shampoo, bath oils and handwashes without and have much softer skin than before and my OH no loger gets problems with really dry patches on his hands/feet - quite a few options now in health shops and online. I like Faith in Nature and I think most/all Aveda products are SLS free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Another thought, argan oil is fab for damaged hair (also known as Moroccan oil) worth looking into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 went to local health food shop and have come back with a tea tree scalp care shampoo that is sodium and sls free. Ill triall it out before the Keratin treatment which I got for £69 with Groupon!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
