Giovanni: 50:50 Balanced Shampoo
Giovanni does use wheat derived ingredients in some of their hair care products, but this shampoo for normal to dry hair contains no gluten ingredients, and has never given me any trouble. This shampoo lathers perfectly, washes away dirt and oil quite well, and it quite easy to find. I've seen it at everywhere from Ingles (natural personal care section) to TJ Maxx (in large bottles, on sale!).

Sircuit Skin: Liquid Crystal
This natural shampoo works as well as any salon brand I've tried, but without the icky chemicals or gluten, how they do it I don't even know! This one I've even tested with ELISA Tek's EZ Gluten Test Kit, which came out naturally gluten-free. Its partner in crime, the Crystal Conditioner pairs with it excellently, but because it has wheat germ oil (which may or may not contain gluten) you might have to pass on that one. And besides, Hamadi's conditioner is fabulous, but sometimes a girl just needs a great shampoo, so here you go, lather up!
Ingredients: Distilled Water (Aqua), Decyl Glucoside, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii), D-Glucuronic Acid, L-Menthol, Vitamin E (D-Alpha Tocopherol), D-Panthenol, Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) Essential Oil.gluten-free.

Hamadi: Leave-In Conditioner
At first look, this organic leave in is unlike others that I have tried. It lacks the thick, emollience and greasy detanglers, but it does produce unprecedented fabulous results!

Hamadi: Styling Cream
A styling cream is not my usual product of choice. My hair requires a bit of smoothing and split end masking, but this organic hair styling cream naturally smooths hair into place, leaving frizzies and split ends utterly undetectable. Hamadi's shea hair cream is a great finishing product to smooth throughout straightened hair or scruch into curls. Plus the natural, nourishing formula will even protect your hair from sun damage!

Hamadi: Healing Serum
Let's face it, if you color your hair, heat style it, or live in a city with high humidity levels, a hair serum is quite crucial. But too many serums are silicone based and contain high levels of synthetic fragrances, both of which I believe and clog pores on your face and contribute to acne. But true to their cause, Hamadi has created an amazing serum that instantly takes hair from dry and damaged to sleek and silky!
