Biomega is a wonderful line of shampoo, conditioner and styling products. It is part of the aquage family of salon haircare products. The entire Biomega line is free from gluten, sulfates, parabens and sodium-chloride.  I personally use the volume shampoo and conditioner mist for my fine hair. I have had no issues and my hair is growing back! You can find it online or at a salon that carries the line.

This is great for anyone who has dandruff or a build up of sebum on the scalp. The tea tree helps get rid of the dandruff, willow bark soothes troubled skin, while vitamin e and shea butter moisturize the scalp and hair. Just massage it on the scalp, leave it for 3-5 minutes while you finish your shower and it leaves your scalp feeling clean and healthy. I use this about once a week, more or less depending how bad my dandruff gets. The tea tree oil leaves your scalp a bit tingly, as well as cool but its completely normal and feels soothing. Paul Mitchell is also a salon haircare line. You can buy this at your local salon and online. The special conditioner, shaping cream, styling gel, grooming pomade, and styling wax from the Tea Tree Special line are also gluten free. 

     Finally, a styling product! This root lifting spray from Kenra can be a life saver if your hair has no volume. Spray it on your roots on towel dried hair, blow dry hair away from scalp, then style as usual. It has a 60 hour hold, however I suggest not leaving hair products on your scalp that long. I have fallen asleep with this in my hair and woken up still having volume. Locking it in with a flexible hold hairspray can keep you hair big and beautiful. Kenra confirmed that there is no wheat protein in this product and I have had no issues so far. You can purchase this at Ulta.

     If you are looking to color your hair, I highly recommend using this. It lasts long, has a wide range of shades, including toners, pastels, neons and vivids. This is a professional product so you will have to find a salon in your area that uses it unless you have a cosmetology license. You can find it online but unless you know how to work with professional hair color I do not suggest doing it yourself. This does not work like box color and you may end up with undesirable results.  So far I've used the purple from the vivids collection and their regular chromasilk colors. Their vivids last a long time and are difficult to get out of your hair so keep that in mind if you want to go an unnatural color. It leaves my hair feeling healthy and looking shiny.

     The brands I list below all have gluten free hair products, but not all of their products are gluten free. Please check their website before purchasing or call the company directly to make sure the product you are looking at is in fact gluten free. The websites are all linked below for you to check out.

     If your favorite brand is not listed, don;t count them out! They may be gluten free but not labeled. Contact them via facebook or their customer service line. If they cannot give you a straight answer, you may want to consider switching to be safe. Even if you don't react from skin contact, anytime a hairspray or shampoo gets into your mouth you're putting gluten into your body. This may be why you still are not feeling well after going gluten free! Let me know if leaving gluten out of your hair products has helped you or share your favorite gluten free hair products in a comment.

     I only found out that I had a gluten sensitivity a year ago when my rheumatologist suggested I go sans gluten to help with my fibromyalgia and my constant vomiting/lack of appetite. I was doing great off gluten and the second I accidentally ate it again I had a pretty terrible allergic reaction with face swelling, severe itching, digestive issues, joint pain, the whole nine yards. This made it pretty clear that my body was not fond of it. I have been doing pretty well since changing my diet but still had mild symptoms of being 'glutened.' I was itchy all over to the point I scratched until I bled and I had pretty bad dandruff. My hair was thin, brittle and falling out. Along with all of that my skin was breaking out into rashes and we could not figure out why until I received gluten free/sulfate free/paraben free shampoo to try, in exchange for an honest review, from Influenster. (a website where you can test products completely free of charge in exchange for honest reviews! Join today its free and its worth it!) I started using the shampoo and my hair started growing back and the itching stopped! If anyone tells you that gluten cannot hurt you from skin contact they are wrong and I am living proof. Now let's move on to the products I've tested so far.

This shampoo is gluten free, sulfate free, paraben free and color safe along with everything listed above. They list all of the ingredients they use with descriptions on the F.A.Q.  page on their website so you know EXACTLY what you are getting. The company also partners with SPLASH to provide one month's clean water to a needy country when you enter your hope code on your shampoo or conditioner bottle. So not only are you getting a great product you are helping the world.

As far as how I feel about the shampoo? I LOVE IT. Since using the shampoo my hair has started to grow back and is much healthier. No more brittle hair or breakage, just shiny healthy hair and scalp. No more itchiness and no more redness, I can't thank Influenster and soapbox for allowing me to test their shampoo. Its truly changed my life. My confidence level is so much higher now that I've got a lovely head of hair at 24 years old instead of a thinning brittle mess that shed constantly. Did I mention that it smells like drinking from a coconut on a tropical island? Buy now from their website or from your local Target.
