Ingredients To Avoid In Your Shampoo and Conditioner
**If you see a few of these on an ingredient list you can most likely assume that there are probably other ingredients in it you shouldn’t be using too.
- Sulfates- Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS), Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS)
- Fragrance
- Polyethylene Glycol- or any PEG’s
- Preservatives- DMDM hydantoin, isothiazolinones, parabens (methyl-, propyl- ethyl-,butyl etc), Quaternium-15, etc
- Artificial Dyes/Colorants
Check out my FREE download 30 Ingredients You Don’t Want In Your Beauty Products.
Not only are there ingredients in conventional shampoos & conditioners that are toxic, but there are also ingredients that are just plain not good for your hair! Some of these include:
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate(SLS): Strips the natural oils from your hair, and therefore dries it out! This can include the scalp for some.
- Alcohols: Alcohols in your shampoo can also dry out your hair resulting in dry and brittle hair. This includes alcohols like ethanol, propanol, ethyl alcohol, etc. Due to their smaller molecular makeup they are able to penetrate the hair shaft and then have a drying effect due to the fact that they evaporate quite quickly. To be noted, there are also ‘good’ alcohols. These are fatty alcohols like cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol and lauryl alcohol. They are typically from more natural sources and their molecular makeup is too large to penetrate the hair shaft. They are used as an emollient
- Silicones: They might seem like they make your hair healthier but they actually can clog the pores on the scalp and dry out your hair from the inside out.
- Diethanolamine/Triethanolamine: These can destroy keratin in the hair which leaves the hair shaft dry and brittle.
- Polyethylene Glycol (PEG): Can strip hair of its moisture.

Review
This is the shampoo I’ve been recommending for any hair type. I’ve used it and I have fine, thin hair. My sister has used it and she has thick, fine hair. I have a friend who loves it and she has coarse thick curly hair. It just gets the job done! Especially great for someone who is used to mainstream shampoos and conditioners and wants one that is going to really get their hair clean. I can go multiple days between shampooing my hair with this shampoo. My hair feels so bouncy and clean. And the clean feeling lasts for days!

Review
I was really excited about this shampoo because it really hits all the marks for someone who may have a sensitive scalp and needs something that’s gentle. Although it is fragrance free, nut free and gluten free, it still cleans the hair so well! My hair always feels clean and it definitely adds some volume like the name suggests. It creates a gentle lather and helps to stimulate the scalp. I would recommend this for any hair type. You might have to use a little more product if you have lots of thick hair to really get it in there but my sister with thicker hair than me loved it too.
Rahua Voluminous Shampoo & Conditioner

This shampoo and conditioner is able to strengthen, clarify and nourish all while adding volume and body. It also removes product build up and reduces oil production with no irritation to the scalp. A great option for fine, oily and/or color treated hair.

This shampoo and conditioner really cleans the hair well and doesn’t leave behind any heaviness. My hair feels clean and bouncy. I get great volume for my fine hair. I had tried it years ago but then forgot how great it was until I tried it again recently. It really is such a good formula for fine/thin haired gals. It has a rosemary and lavender scent. Not too overwhelming at all, but subtle.

I specifically only recommend this shampoo when someone gets their hair color treated often. I will use it after I get my hair done for a couple days but after that if I continue to use it, my hair will become greasy and weighed down.
I’ve had a lot of curly haired gals who love it who have drier hair. It’s a very creamy formula overall. Best suited for those with dry, damaged or color treated hair that need extra moisture. I would recommend it for any hair type that is color treated or is curly. As I stated above it is very hydrating. Smells good, but not overwhelming. A fruity mango scent. It does lather up slightly, but not intensively foaming.

This shampoo suds up well and feels so luxurious. The smell is amazing with hints of vanilla and sage that come together in such a beautiful way. Your hair will feel moisturized just using the shampoo on its own. This is the perfect shampoo for someone with thick, curly hair that is dry and needs some serious hydration. Thick, unruly, wavy hair that’s color treated…give them the Hydrate Collection. It’s too heavy for my fine hair.

This is a great basic shampoo that will give your hair and scalp a good clean overall without a lot of extra fluff. The neutral scent makes this a great pick for men- it is reminiscent of the outdoors. More pine and fresh smelling. And, my hubs loves it!
Although I recommend it for men, it really makes my hair feel clean and bouncy too. It’s not a heavy shampoo at all, still lathers a little too which I love and feels very refreshing on the scalp.
The conditioner is light, yet my hair still feels hydrated. One of my sister’s has thick/coarse hair and she didn’t like it.

Love this shampoo and conditioner! It gets my hair clean and doesn’t weigh it down. Super impressed with the ingredients. It has no scent and has a lower price point compared to others too. Plus, you can get it on Amazon. Especially great if you don’t do scents or have a sensitive scalp. Comes in a tube and a little goes a long way.
It is really great for any hair type. I used it on my fine, thin hair and loved it and so did my sister with thick hair. To be noted, the conditioner does have a peppermint scent but I love the smell! Great for kids since it’s a lower price point too.
Everescents Berry Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner
**Best Natural Purple Shampoo and Conditioner**
A moisture-rich toning shampoo, designed to combat brassy tones in blonde and gray hair. It is formulated with natural pigments from Red Sweet Potato and Blue Gardenia Berry and is a gentle enough for daily use. The shampoo pairs well with the Berry Blonde Conditioner- a moisture rich conditioner.

Review
This is the best natural purple shampoo I’ve found for anyone who has color-treated hair. It is great for highlights that you want to keep bright and not brassy. Those who have gray hair will also like it. It brightened my highlighted ends and offered them a refresh overall.
It does tend to get the hair really clean, which I love, but it can almost feel stripping if you use it all the time. I don’t find that a problem because you don’t want to be using a purple shampoo all the time- more like every two weeks to a month.
I love the ingredients for the Berry Blonde Shampoo but I wish it was available in the U.S. You could stock up when you purchase it to make it a little more feasible. It’s made in Australia and they don’t have any U.S. Distributors so you do have to buy it from Australia, which makes it pricey. When I bought it, it was about $20 for shipping. I would definitely stock up when buying it! Did I mention it smells very sweet- like grape candy.
Good Juju Hair Bar Duo

Good Juju offers shampoo and conditioner bars that are targeted to different hair types. They are super concentrated so that one bar is the equivalent of 3 bottles of shampoo or 75 hair washes!

I have been so impressed with these shampoo and conditioner bars! They work so well. I had tried several other natural bar shampoos and conditioners but hadn’t been able to find one that I really loved. Then I got this in a Beauty Heroes box and I knew it was something special after using it for the first time.
It gave my hair bounce, volume and didn’t leave it greasy. It even gave a nice suds so it felt clean. I used the shampoo and conditioner bar for oily/fine hair. But they offer several others depending on your hair type. I love how no plastic is being used- a truly earth friendly approach to a natural shampoo and conditioner! Also a great option when traveling.

Review
Having fine hair I’m always searching for a shampoo and conditioner that leaves my hair feeling clean but not weighed down. Well, Innersense Clarity Shampoo and Conditioner does just that!!
I love that not only is it perfect for my fine hair, but it’s also fragrance free and hypoallergenic. Great for kiddos too. I love being able to just have one shampoo and conditioner my kids can use too.
I’ve been testing this out for several months and my hair doesn’t feel dried out. Often shampoos can really clean my hair but they can leave it feeling dry. Not Clarity Hairbath and Clarity Conditioner! My hair feels nourished, but not weighed down.
Natural Black Hair Routine
As I was trying out natural shampoos and conditioners I realized I had a blind spot when it came to black hair. I’ve had people ask me before what I would recommend as natural shampoos for black hair and I couldn’t. I didn’t even know what natural hair products in general to recommend for black hair. I wanted to enlist an expert. Monique from Brown Skin Green Beauty was so gracious to share her expertise with my audience on her top picks for best natural shampoo and conditioners for black hair. I learned so much from getting her expert tips on how to care for black hair.
Bio
Hi there!
My name’s Monique, aka Brown Skin Green Beauty- Instagram @brownskingreenbeauty. I’m an advocate of clean beauty and wellness. My journey into the clean space began 13 years ago when I had a horrible reaction to conventional hair care products marketed to Black women. It was then; I learned most Black hair care products were laden with chemicals that were not ready for the natural hair movement and unsafe for my health. Super excited to learn more, I dove right into understanding how ingredients worked and made the necessary changes to take better control of my health and improve the health of my hair and skin. I created Brown Skin Green Beauty to share my experiences with safe alternative beauty products to inspire other women, especially Black women, to go beyond the bells and whistles and learn more about clean and nontoxic options for beauty.
Hair Routine
Since losing my hair two years ago, not only has my wash day been simplified, but the products I use are lightweight, oil-based, and more plant-based instead of the heavy cream products that once served my hair needs.
The first step to my wash day is a pre-poo of coconut oil and aloe vera juice. I spritz my hair with aloe vera juice and work the coconut oil in my locks from base to end. This process helps to create a moisture barrier to keep my hair from drying out when shampooing. Next, I wash my hair withNikki’s Naturals Black Soap Clarifying Shampoo. This liquid black soap gently clarifies without stripping my hair’s natural oil. My hair is left feeling very clean, soft, and moisturized.
To keep hair from overdrying, I wrap my wet hair in a cotton t-shirt to absorb most of the water. Once my locks feel damp, I oil my scalp with an oil mixture ofPaparozier Castor Oil of Haiti, sweet almond, jojoba, peppermint, and rosemary. When styling, I spritz my hair with aloe vera juice and retwist with coconut oil to clean up my boxes and lock in moisture. At night, I wear a silky scarf to keep my hair lint-free. Every three days, I give my hair a light spritz ofAl Wadi Rose Waterand massage a light layer of avocado oil or coconut oil in my locs to keep them hydrated and well moisturized. On occasion, I’ll useOyin Handmade Greg Juice for a moisture boost.
Adjusting To Natural Shampoos
To be noted, when you switch to a natural shampoo there can be a detox period where your hair actually gets oilier before it gets better.
Unfortunately, mainstream products are full of such harsh ingredients that strip the hair every time you use them. So that “clean” feeling you get used to is actually not that.
Plus, when you switch to a gentler shampoo and conditioner your hair can ‘freak out’. It’s used to constantly being dried out everyday and thus overcompensating by producing more oil to nourish your hair again.
Here are a few tips to help your transition to a clean shampoo:
- Give your hair time to detox- 6-8 weeks.
- Stop washing your hair everyday. Use a dry shampoo if needed.
- Consider a water. High mineral content in your water (hard water) can reduce the effectiveness of your products, while other contaminants (like chlorine) can be especially harsh on your hair. I reviewed my favorite filtered showerhead here!
- Use a DIY clarifying treatment.
The recipe is easy just 1 part apple cider vinegar to 1 part water (I usually use 1/2 cup of each but you may need more if you have thick or long hair).
Mix it together and pour over your head concentrating on using your other hand to rub it in your hair. Let it sit on your hair for 10 minutes. Then rinse off and apply conditioner as usual. I’ve also added it to a squirt bottle and then just squirted it all over my head too.

I love Under Luna Warrior Shampoo and Luna Love Conditioner for my fine thin hair. You have to lather twice with the shampoo, but the second lather is so sudsy. The conditioner gives great softness and slip without weighing down. They have shampoo and conditioners for all hair types and u scented ones too. And I love the glass bottles instead of plastic!

I’m curious, I’m making the switch to cleaner ingredient shampoos but I’m not experiencing oily hair like you we’re mentioning, my scalp is actually kind of itchy which it normally isn’t. I’m using Avalon Organics Thickening Shampoo and conditioner. I’ve only used it a couple times. Suggestions? I normally use Virtue hair products. Thank you
Reply

I wouldn’t necessarily say Avalon is the cleanest. It’s going to have some ingredients that could be a little harsh. I would recommend Evolvh Ultrashine Moisture Shampoo and conditioner.

Hi Suzi,
So glad I found your site as I was researching several things you have blogged about. I noticed your expertise as a stylist and wanted to share a curiosity I noticed recently that has led me to research shampoo and conditioner again.
I have used a brand for years that probably wasn’t the best or worst but I loved the way my hair looks. I also have had alopecia for about the same time and never linked the two or found research suggesting that chemicals could cause alopecia (nor have my dermatologists shared anything helpful).
So we recently moved over a year ago and I could no longer get this brand at the salon so I switched to AnnMarie Gianni and Young Living, which like many organic brands, I found I didn’t feel like my hair was clean or looked good and also oddly noticed after years of alopecia that all of my hair had grown back in.
Due to how my hair looks, I went back to that brand and a few months later have bare spots again and now wondering if there is something in that shampoo that caused it??
I am considering going back to an organic brand and looked at the options you suggested but I have no idea if a chemical could be the cause or what it is which means I feel like I need to use either of the brands I tried the last year which I didn’t love. Curious if you’ve ever heard anything similar?

I’d love to get your help. I definitely have fine color treated hair. I’m currently using Rowe casa organics shampoo and conditioner bars. While I do like them a lot just like everyyyyy other project I’ve ever tried 24 hrs late my hair is stringy and weighed down. I haven’t tried any of the shampoos in this article so I’m wondering what you’d recommend? I have color treated hair that can be a bit fickle/ fragile.

Hi Steph,
At the moment I don’t know of anywhere else to get it, however you could contact the brand and ask. I know they are a small brand and make the formulas in small batches. As a replacement I would recommend Christina Moss’s Shampoo. Also, great for sensitive scalps. https://amzn.to/4dSebRq
