Though I don't use them exclusively (I'm a hair-product whore...) I highly recommend Paula's Choice All-Over Hair and Body Shampoo and Smooth Finish Conditioner. While I don't always agree with her opinions, most of her products are very well-formulated, and all are fragrance-free. I always go back to these two when my skin is feeling particularly finicky, or when I need a reliably good hair day!

Most health stores carry fragrance-free shampoos. Also, Clinique (available in department stores like Macy"s) has an entire line of fragance-free cosmetics & hair & skin products.

She gets the larger bottles for herself and gives small 2oz bottles as gifts. Definitely worth checking out! http://www.cassiesscents.com You don’t necessarily have to buy unscented shampoo in bulk — places like Cassie’s Scents in St. Louis blend and create their own fragrances and then add them to unscented lotions, shampoos, shower gels, etc. They will happily sell the products without fragrance — my mom has many allergies and prefers *everything* unscented, and she loves their lotion and shampoo.
