I am allergic to just about every shampoo known to man or woman. Can you recommend any others?
I can use most shampoos 3 or 4 times, but then the itching comes back. It isn't dandruff, and nothing shows, but my head itches terribly. After a couple of days, this improves, but by then my hair needs washing again. I have tried Sebitar and similar products, unperfumed shampoo base (worked for a while), Mastey (worked for a few months!) various soaps (either don't work or make my hair impossibly dry) Oatmeal based shampoo for dry skin (worked for three days). I have worked out that I'm allergic to sodium laureth sulphate (sp?) which is in most shampoo, and also to perfumes. Obviously, there is something else as well, since Mastey has no SLS. I suspect I'm also allergic to palm oil.
The best result I had was shaving my hair off in a Number 3 crop. That was great, but my husband got tired of people asking if I had cancer.
Does anyone have useful suggestions? By the way, I am middle-aged and female, and this problem has lasted now for years. Doctors just suggest allergy pills!

Have you been to a dermatologist? They should be able to determine what you are allergic too for sure, plus recommend something to help you. There are actually some kinds of fungi that can grow on your head as well and are exacerbated by certain shampoos, which cause itching as well, so they can make sure you don't have one of those. I have also heard of (lol) some people with severe allergies using hypoallergenic pet shampoos and having success. Good luck!

Try baby shampoo. It's ultra gentle!
I have itchy scalp sometimes and I use Skalpisin (sp?) It is an over the counter product you can usually find around the dandruff products.
Also, try sea breeze
Good luck!

Try Kiehl's, it's all natural, I'm not sure if it makes a difference.
They make all kinds of stuff from amino acid shampoo to an herbal one.
It may cost more but it you can really see the difference.
They have a website too, http://www.kiehls.com/

i dont know of anything personally. but why dont you try a home remedy shampoo. just do a yahoo or google search and you should come up wtih some results.
the best part is that they are all natural, so it may help with your allergy.
how about a baby shampoo, they are hypoallergenic

Go to the health food store and ask for pure Castille shampoo.
(pronounced: Kas-teel)
This should not give you any problems.
