Last week I started my quest to have right Shampoo and Conditioner that would lessen my seborric dermatitis flare ups!! I started off with few checklists that I wanted my new S+C to possess. Essentially, it needed to be plant based with very few chemicals. More natural, all the more better!!!
I have used Aveda since 2011 and my urge to change came from the recent SD flare ups that has increased over the years. I am ditching Aveda for now!!!
I started off with Avalon Organics from Costco. Everything seemed perfect especially the price and the availability. The only thing that did not work is the product itself!! Shampoo was good but conditioner was a total let down. It simply did not moisturize my hair :-( I have thick black wavy hair. I can be a very tough client to please when it comes to haircare products. So the Avalon product went into my car boot for a quick return.
Next came from CVS called "Not Your Mother's Naturals", conditioner failed to impress me!! Off I went to return, on the way back picked Mielle Organics White Peony Leave-In Conditioner. I still needed a good shampoo. After extensive web research and reviews, I decided to sample the shampoo bars from Chagrin Valley Soap company!! Since it is Cleveland based family owned business felt I must give it a try as I live in Ohio too :-) Buy local whenever possible is my motto!! The coolest thing about them is they offer sample size shampoo bars so ordered 6 different kinds and they are totally plant based. The shipping wasn't free but it was fast!!! I fell in love with Butterbar Conditioner with the first use. Although they say conditioner isn't needed but I needed one. So I use the Mielle Organics leave in conditioner after shower and this combo is working for me!! Must say this sample size bars lasts really long and they lather up pretty fast. For now, I have my favs!!!
