Favorite Shampoo/Conditioner?
I've found my favorite EF dish liquid, detergent, deodorant, even recyclable razors but I need suggestions for Shampoo and Conditioner.
I have short hair that I straighten every day so I need a mild shampoo and some sort of conditioner that will keep my hair sleek and not frizzy.
Any EF solutions?! Thanks!

I have to admit, Burt's Bee's moisturizing line. I have tried so many and not done well. I like the Gudonya Too conditioner, but even with my super thick, dry hair, its too heavy for anything but my ends, and even then not daily.
I would prefer to support a smaller, more EF company (Burt's Bee's is owned by Clorox) but the Burt's Bee's line is good and I understand has done a lot of good things.
i like giovanni organics (not really organic, but no protein in the one i use) and aubrey organics (the ones with no protein) for conditioners. my hair hates protein.
i make my own shampoo with ayurvedic powders.
After trying loads of EF shampoos, paying loads and being disappointed, I gave up and tried no-poo. It has an adjustment period of 1-2 wks, but is worth trying. It has been a year and a half now and I woudn't go back to regular or EF shampoo if you bought and delivered a years supply to my bathroom. Cheap, very EF and easy once you get the hang of it.
If you want to try it, here is two links with loads of help & info:

I really like Chargrin Valley soaps. Both their shampoo soaps and also body soap.

Yay for no-poo! I'm no-poo as well. It's been wonderful. I bought some Burt's Bees for a trip recently, and I was so happy to get home to my BS and ACV! It takes some adjusting, but it's so worth it!
