Non-earthy smelling natural hair care

[nicolelynn]

So I am freaked out to use even "natural" shampoo and conditioner anymore since so many of them contain sodium lauryl sulfate and parabens and other things. I have used Burt's Bees, Avalon Organics, Alba, Aubrey Organics, Jason, Desert Essence and Tea Tree Triple Treat- and they all contain things I want to avoid.

Problem is- I am not interested in no poo or products that will make my hair smell earthy. Well, DH and I wouldn't mind, but I am an Office Manager for a Physical Therapist and no one else would appreciate it. I tried moisturizing with coconut oil (since I use it on my body) and washing it out with Dr Bronners, but that left my hair smelling funky. DH washes his hair with Dr Bronners but his hair is short so no one smells it, my hair is mid-back length.

Anyone had any success with truly natural products?

Have you tried Weleda or Urtekram?

I'm looking for a new shampoo as well. I do love no-poo with an ACV rinse (didn't notice an earthy smell, but you do smell vinegary until it dries. . .I guess once dry you could comb in some eo), but since I henna it isn't very good for my hair--totally strips the highlights.

I use Dr. Bronner's Baby for shampoo and body wash. Perhaps you can find an unscented conditioner without SLS easier than a shampoo.

I use a local shampoo bar or J.R. Ligget's shampoo bar and rinse with vinegar (white), dilution 1/2c. vinegar to 2 c. water every other day or so.

As far as the Liggets goes, it comes in unscented, herbal, or tea tree w/ lavender...all smell very nice. Also, you could add rosemary essential oil (I do 5-10 drops per rinse) to the vinegar...I think it smells divine!
