I get my WEN from QVC..

A conditioner I happen to like if you just want a conditioner with a good scent is Bath & Body Works, Sweet Pea...

Mmmm I want candied oranges now :9 lol

I have also heard good stuff about this wen stuff ... Do they make a conditioner? Or do you need one? I often need a conditioner because curly hair (at least mine) is always so dry.

I use Organix shampoo, and I rotate between their different scents each time. It is sulfate free, and I have noticed an overwhelming change in my hair. It is softer, cleaner, and stays that way for longer. I love it. I only wash my hair once every two or three days.

I would never go back to sulfate shampoo again.

Using conditioner only....this works phenomenally for my daughter. I use shampoo so so seldom on her hair. For me though, my hair is just in between enough that if I use conditioner only it gets funky.

I really wish the baking soda worked long term for me, it just doesnt. I get a good month or two of it being wonderful and then build up starts and blech:/

for a while i thought tht it wasnt going to work for me either because my hair got all greasy & filmy & gross for a while, so for the conditioner "wash" I use a lighter conditioner, one for fine hair & those at least for me usually work better, because I am using conditioner all ready so i dont need a thick heavy one.

when i use shampoo (I typically shampoo once a week) then I use leave in. Garniea (or however you spell it) frutis makes a really good leave in, its in a small roundish green bottle with a pull up top like the tops on a dish washing liquid bottle & I have had really good luck with those.

Where do you guys get the sulfate free shampoo? Do you order it off line or are there stores that carry them?

[Greenmagick]

Best selection of course is online. But most drugstores carry a couple that are...Burt's Bees and Organix come to mind (though still check the ingredient labels for sure)

[sillysally]

What are other things to avoid in the shampoos?

[Dogdragoness]

Also when I read the ingredient list on the back of the bottle I sometimes have problems knowing what is what LOL, can someone list what to avoid because sometimes I am not sure

[stardogs]

I get mine either at Whole Foods or Target. Target has a nice selection for a big box store.

I have read on some "no poo" info sites that Suave is sulfate free, is this true? I will do more research, maybe we can start listing sulfate free shampoo/conditioner brands that can be found readily at places like Target & Walmart?

Loreal makes a sulfate free, as does Aveeno & Suave professionals.

for the "poo" days I have seen it recomended on the "no poo" sites to use baby shampoo, be warned though if you have color treated hair it will strip the color faster.
