Hair Conditioner

I've been told to use E45 hair shampoo due to eczema, but what can I use as a hair conditioner? E45 don't seem to do one.

Would a dash of vinegar in the final rinse work? My hair goes all over the place without conditioner so need to find something unperfumed and kind.

    Put olive oil in your hair the night before you wash it, and then put hot oil through the ends of your hair when you wash it.

  • Hi

    My hairdresser advises me to only use conditioner on the ends of my hair - it isn't needed near the roots and can make the hair lank. Is your hair long enough to apply a normal conditioner to just the ends, thereofre avoiding any contact with the scalp which could irritate your eczema? Failing that, I'm sure some of the baby ranges do conditioners so that might be mild enough to not irritate you.
  • Simple now do a range of shampoos and conditioners,I have psoriasis and use Simple shampoo and conditioner with no adverse effects,it is quite expensive,but Boots normally have it on offer.

    My grandma used to break an egg over my hair, massage it in, then rinse. All eggs were organic in those days! I have eczema too and this has never irritated my skin.

    I wouldn't use vinegar as this could irritate you eczema and make it worse!

    I have psoarisis and use Aveda hair products. Expensive, but since using them I have had no flare ups around my neckline or scalp.

    E45 do a really nice moistering lotion...rub a tiny splodge (size of 5 pence piece) in your hands and then just smooth down the folicles on freshly washed hair. Use as a leave in conditioner. It makes her glossy and conditioned and should be okay for your delicate scalp.
