Your turn to help me –
Alright — I’m finally at the bottom of my JASON shampoo and conditioner bottles — and I’m ready to switch! Besides their “moderate risk” scores on Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep cosmetics database (both shampoo and conditioner got 5s), my hair was slowly getting buildup. My head feels heavy –
So far, I’ve gone through 2 green hair care stuff I’m not happy with:
>> Jason’s Natural Moisturizing Sea Kelp Shampoo and Conditioner: Ranks a “moderate risk” 5; creates build-up.
>> Avalon Organics Conditioner: Ranks a “low risk” 2; doesn’t feel thick enough and is slow to detangle. (I liked the shampoo fine, but I like matching shampoo-conditioner sets)
So now I’m looking for green shampoo suggestions — from the low-risk list I’m considering. Tried any of these and loved it? Let me know so I don’t pick another dud –
>> Aubrey Organics
>> Burt’s Bees
>> EO
>> Korres. Reader Callie recommends this one.
>> Miessence
>> Natural by Nature
>> Nurture My Body
>> Terressentials
Last but not least, here’s a fun old related post: Get your hair did: Eco-friendly hair care.
Update, 3/2/08: I went with EO — and LOVE the stuff.
Update, 4/4/08: A prob with the EO shampoo — the ranking’s ranking suddenly changed –
