Anyone having issues with these? I’m going back to sulfate based shampoos because otherwise I can’t get a good lather and then the shampoo doesn’t wash out.
Re: Non-sulfate non-paraben shampoos.
Why were you using non sulfate shampoos before though?
Re: Non-sulfate non-paraben shampoos.
No problems at all for me, I've been using them for about 4 years now. What brands have you tried? Are you sure it's not hard water issues vs the actual shampoos?
Re: Non-sulfate non-paraben shampoos.
I tried sulphate free shampoos years ago and had this issue (living in an area with very hard water). Apparently you don’t need a good lather for the hair to get clean but I gave up on them anyway as they didn’t seem to help with my hair fall.
Since the beginning of this year however I’m using a shampoo that is coincidently sulphate and paraben free (this wasn’t the reason for trying it out) - it’s part of the “sexy hair” range and it lathers the same as a regular shampoo. I use the Big Sexy Hair Shampoo and the Root Pump Volumizing Spray Mousse after reading about them in a post-preg hair loss blog. I would recommend both. I know they also do products for curly hair and for smoothing frizzy hair.

Re: Non-sulfate non-paraben shampoos.
Each hair has its own shampoo set that works. I tried the sexy hair but the blue bottle and it was awful. It just got stuck in the hair in NYC and I couldn't get it washed out. I was in a Manhattan hotel so was the water really hard ?? Jeez. I can't wait to afford to buy my own house so I can put a water softener unit in it!!
PCG - sephora has this shower tool that you can attach on to your shower head and, apparantly, it helps with the issues that come along with hard water. I have not used it myself but wanted to let you know that you can lool into that until you move into your own place.
Re: Non-sulfate non-paraben shampoos.
I used this for several years and loved it. You don’t need to own a house to put some type of filter in the shower.
Re: Non-sulfate non-paraben shampoos.
^ I have exactly that. I might need a filter change. But yeah it did help a lot! Initially when I moved in here I ended up looking like a greaseball after washing my hair - all the shampoo would stick. I had to use a clarifying shampoo with every rinse just to get it all out. Which dried out my hair obviously.
I've been putting in coconut oil nearly daily - like I basically rub it into my scalp when going to work, let it sit there, and then come home and take a shower. Otherwise it has gotten seriously dry.

Not sure how long you've had yours (the shower filter) but I used to change my filter every 6 months.
BTW, which specific sulfate-free shampoo's have you tried? I've been looking to try something different and am wondering which ones you had bad experience with...
Re: Non-sulfate non-paraben shampoos.
Like each one I pick up.
Re: Non-sulfate non-paraben shampoos.
My hair's long and thick. The few I have tried made my hair dry, so it was hard to comb after.
