I'm now using raw ingredients for a natural shampoo and atleast the pain is almost gone. As for the looks, its still wavy and bad...not what I used to be. You're right, the residual effects will take some time to wear of. I don't know what the new growth of hair would be like...straight as it was or again wavy and frizzy. Time will tell I think.

Reading your symptoms I am inclined to think that it is likely to be SLS. Sulfates are known to be an scalp irritant. I certainly suggest using a sulfate free shampoo but to get full benefit from it please stick with it and only use natural hair care products in the future. Lots of people who use a natural shmapoo continue to use silicon laden gels, conditioners and other hair products that strip their hair of it's natural moisture - they may as well use a conventional shampoo as well if they do not switch the rest of their products too!The reason why I say to stick with it is that if you switch to using a natural SLS free shampoo from having previously used a conventional shampoo it will take a little while to remove the chemical residues. Persevere with it and I wish you all the best! Hi Help Me, how’s it going for you now? Reading your symptoms I am inclined to think that it is likely to be SLS.

I've been using WEN, also featured on this site, for about 3 years and my hair (kinky/negroid) is not hard and tangly as it would be after shampoo. I believe this perspective is based more on straighter hair types than mine. Kinky hair needs as much moisture as possible. My hair has been far more manageable since eliminating the sulfates, but reading this, I guess I feel a little less intimidated about using regular shampoo; I'd just condition before and after. And only shampoo if without a choice. It is about stripping the hair.
