Is there a non-alcohol shampoo and conditioner?
What is the reason you're after an alcohol-free shampoo? In most high street formula shampoos the alcohol is there to stabilize the pH, and provide you with a good clean. A good shampoo should have a slightly acidic pH, say of around 5.5, or 6.5. This is because the cuticle of your hair responds best to a slightly acidic bath, and post-wash the scales that make up the cuticle will lay flatter. This means your hair will be more shiny, and get fewer snarls, if used correctly. You might be able to find alcohol-free products in your local heath-food/ Herbal store, but chances are they won't provide as good a clean, and finished result, as a standard formula.
