Silicone-Free Shampoo
I would not have thought about my shampoo and conditioner being an issue with silicone and dimethicone, but sure enough, it’s in most of them out there. The search was on and what I found wasn’t cheap. Below are the brands that are silicone free and my personal favorite silicone / dimethicone free shampoo.
When purchasing my silicone free products:
- Order from Amazon so I can earn my 5% back
- Shop from Ulta so earn points that I can use on future purchases. Also, Ulta will have various sales, e.g., buy 2 get 1 free and when they do, I will stock up on my products to save money. Click here to read my article on how to save money at Ulta.
- Some products can be purchased at Target and if you have the RedCard you can save 5% on your purchase if you use your RedCard. Also, if you wait until Target offers their spend $20 and receive a $5 gift card sale, you can save a little this way too.
AG Hair Natural Balance Apple Cider Vinegar Sulfate-Free Shampoo
Even though it’s not rated too well on Amazon, this is my favorite silicone free shampoo. (Note, the ratings are betting on the Utla website.) I absolutely love the smell and my hair feels amazing afterward.
