Right I'm going bonkers as since having Amelia I seem to be allergic to every blinking Shampoo other than Johnsons baby. It started off with Tresemme and moved on to Head and Shoulders, Pantene, John Freida, Charles Worthington, Aussie, Frizz ease, Origninal Source, and many others that I can't remember.

When I've been using one for about a week the itching starts. It's so bad that I've made Dave and my Mum check my hair to make sure I don't have nits! After the reaction starts I then can't even use the brand once without having the reaction. Another problem is that if I use the same shampoo every time my hair starts to look dull and limp.

So what I'm asking is does anyone have any recommendations? I'm sick of smelling like a baby, I want something grown up and yummy that doesn't make me want to peel my own scalp off!!!

vosene? When I was a kid every shampoo I used made my scalp come out in scabs, it stopped eventually although its still sensitive, but vosene was the only one I could use x

Thanks Mandy but does Vosene still smell awful?

Its quite a strong smell, but I quite like it, lol

I have same problem with itchy scalp. Have a look at these hair products pricey but I like the look of them.

Thanks Amanda! I'll have a mooch through the site.

Most recently I've tried Happy hair (or summat like that) that's organic and has no Parabens in, and that's just as bad. I'm going to give up and have dreads!

Shave it off

I like redken but i think you can only buy it in salons or online. And I'm not sure if it's any better for your scalp than others. It is really lovely though and smells fantastic.

I want something to stop mine falling out. Was thinking of making a cushion with it otherwise !

I had similar before I was preg even, I used to get really really bad itchy head/what I thought was dandruff (sp?) and I eventually found out it was something to do with the shampoos that have silicon in, a load of the 'expensive' brands have this in as this is what makes your hair 'glossy' so my tip would be to try and avoid the ones with silicon in and see if that makes a diff. I cant rem which ones have but ive currently got a unnamed brand from Wilkos at the min, i just check the ingredients when i fancy a change of shampoo.
Hopefully that made sense im pooped

Dermalogica do shampoo, i dont know what its like but i know they are really good in not using harsh chemicals etc. I use all their skincare stuff as everything else makes my face fall off!! Might be worth getting some samples to try. I get my stuff from a www.beautyflash.co.uk and i think if you email them they will send samples xx

Aveeno which is awesome for skin also makes shampoo..most with natural ingredients too. xxx

my sis has the same problem, but all she can use is some sort of charcole stuff from the doc, buty it smells like crap so sorry really no helpo at all x
