I need a sulphate free shampoo which actually cleanses the hair

[vengeancer]

I have very curly (3b/c and on the dry side) hair and a lot of TLC (along with products) goes into my mane. I avoid silicones and try to avoid sulphates but I find I always ends up with product build up even with regular sulphate free shampoo use and I end up using a 'normal' shampoo every now and then to get the grease off but it is drying my hair.

I have tried the Palmer's shampoo and just finished one of the Maui moisture shampoos. Both didn't quite work.

Can someone recommend a shampoo which is sulphate free but gets rid of dirt/product build up?

[vengeancer]

oh, should have said I am willing to spend about £5. There are some shampoos with amazing reviews out there but I will never spend £30 on a bottle of hair wash

[TheyCalledherPatience]

I really like Faith in Nature. However I don't use other products in my hair so I'm not sure whether it would do the job for you or not. Worth a try maybe, it's not expensive.

[snappycamper]

If you're only willing to buy cheap shampoo you won't get a decent one without sulphates. Sulphates are what makes shampoo cheap

I like the Charles Worthington micellar shampoo. It's slightly more than £5 though I think - maybe £8 ish?

[vengeancer]

theycalled, is that the body shop shampoo? I had that too but forgot to mention. didn't work for me either.

I've just ordered the shea.10 in 1 fruit fusion one its £10 though. I was going to go for the noughty one but its out of stock at the moment. Like you, I need.to use shampoo sometimes, but my hair is so much better.already using the curly girl method. I'm type.2b/2c.

[Rodders92]

I use the tresemme one in a maroon coloured bottle that lathers up well for a sulphate free one

What about trying a shampoo bar. Lots of those are Sulphate free. I've been using them since Christmas and am happy. (Can't recommend a brand as the one I have now was an M&S Xmas gift product and I can't remember the one I used before. Two bars in 6 months is pretty good going).

[TheyCalledherPatience]

No, not body shop.

I usually get it from Amazon

[Justkeeprollingalong]

As a previous poster said, you're not going to get anything decent for a fiver! A more realistic budget is £10-£15 unless on offer. However used properly it should last a long time. Wash twice using a small amount - about the size of a broad bean. The first wash won't lather well but the second one will.
Faith in Nature isn't Next, I get it from the health food shop, I think it is about £9.50.
The proper Moroccan Oil range is expensive but fantastic. My last set of shampoo and conditioner was over £40 but lasted about 4 months.

We use Argon oil of Morocco they often have deals on

[TheyCalledherPatience]

I usually pay £7.99 on Amazon for shampoo and conditioner together (Faith in Nature.)

[Pollyputthepizzaon]

Faith in nature. It’s on Amazon or Waitrose.

I use House of Mistry, they got an online shop and are around £4-6.
They’re the only natural shampoos which get my hair clean properly ( not curly, more textured and most other shampoos always leave a “dirty” patch behind the ears).
I heard about them from a recommendation here about 8 years ago and have used them since, no repeat usage fatigue yet.

[elaeocarpus]

Have you checked what is in the other products you mention you use? They might be what is causing build up, which you cant shift with sulfate free shampoo if its silicones

Waitrose pure range ; DGJ organics hair juice i found good; currently have an ogx one.

[vengeancer]

ela, it's a long list of stuff but I think you need a degree in chemistry to understand the ingredients

[greengoose21b]

I'm a big fan of Holland And Barrett's Dead Sea Magic range. It is about £8-9 but often on bogohp

[Disfordarkchocolate]

Bain and Savon to shampoo bars that are sulphate free. I love my milk one.

Friendly Soap Company do good sulphate free bars too, and the best conditioner I have ever had.

[onedaysoonish]

I rate purology but it's expensive. However, Johnson's baby shampoo is also quite good and super cheap. Somewhat of a false economy though because you have to use an awful lot of it to get your hair clean. But could be worth a try?

Snap and the garner natural conditioners in the brown and blue bottles are silicone free so I’m probably getting both for £5

[liaun]

I use this, definitely worth the money

I really like the Charles Worthington micellar one too, and it's often on offer in boots. Most of the ogx ones are sulphate free too. Or in Savers there's a L'Oréal one- used to be Everpure but I think it's something else pure now.

[Pinkvici22]

OGX - sulphate free and leaves my hair lovely. I like the coconut oil or the argan oil

[2Kidsinatrenchcoat]

Faith in nature isn’t sulphate free, it’s the second ingredient!

Noughty is sulphate free but turns my 2c/3a hair into a dry matted mess

Have you tried using a co wash? The as I am cowash is amazing, and I’ve heard good things about the cantu one

OGX - sulphate free and leaves my hair lovely. I like the coconut oil or the argan oil

they contain silicone though which I am avoiding too.
