Best Natural Dry Shampoo

Farmaesthetics Powdered Silk Dry Shampoo, $30, farmaesthetics.com
“After I went three days without washing my hair, the product reduced the appearance of oil and increased body. It is more effective than salon-grade products I’ve used, which produced a stiff, sticky mess that could not be combed through.”
–Nellie Toy, Fairbanks, Alaska
Best Natural Shampoo

Peter Lamas Soy & Baobab Oil Hydrating Shampoo, $20, peterlamas.com
“I really appreciated that they have different versions (i.e., color treated, dry, etc.) with no para- bens, surfactants, and more, and that they keep prices affordable. I was very impressed that the founder’s personal experiences with cancer are what led him
to this work.”
–Dawn Wacek, Rice Lake, Wisconsin
Best Natural Scalp Oil

Balanced Guru Balanced Scalp, $23, balancedguru.com
“The scent is fresh, and the texture is light; it felt like using infused water on my hair.”
–Christie Mathews, El Cajon, California
Best Natural Hair Oil

Auromère Ayurvedic Imports Pre-Shampoo Conditioner (Hair Oil), $10, auromere.com
“It was very effective. I haven’t tried other products like this, but will now.”
–Sarah Sgarlata, Fredericksburg, Virginia
Best Natural Conditioner

Kiss My Face Miss Treated Conditioner, $8, kissmyface.com

–Christine Mirr, West Bend, Wisconsin
