Sensitive Shampoo (Volume) - Perfect for Sensitive Scalps, Allergy-Friendly, No Perfumes, No Colourants - Asthma & Allergy Friendly Product. Their Shampoo does contain SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) which many mistake for the harsh one, SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate). The difference being that SLS has beenidentified as a common skin irritant if left on skin for prolonged periods of time.SLES however whilst are derived from SLS go through a process which reorganises the compound making it much kinder to the skin and hair. Unlike SLS, Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) won’t aggravate your scalp or strip it of any excess moisture. Olsson explain it nicely here – SLS and SLES – What’s the difference Kindness to skin ★★★★★ Sensitive Shampoo: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Panthenol, Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Zinc Coceth Sulfate, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid. This product is relatively new to me and over the past month it’s what I’ve been using. I like the consistency of the shampoo and that you don’t need too much to wash your hair (and I have a lot currently with my extensions). Used in conjunction with their conditioner, my hair is left lightweight, clean, and hydrated without stripping my skin/scalp of moisture. What I love is that it visibly reduces the appearance of split ends with the clever Biolipids and Camellia oil (which is rich in fatty acids) which help to smooth the cell membranes on the hair.

It’s mild formulation means that it can be used daily if needed and is suitable for all the family, little ones included. It contains Aloe vera leaf juice which is known for it’s soothing, healing and regenerative effects (which also contains on average 75 active ingredients like Vitamin A, C, E and B12), Vitamin B5, which helps prevent moisture loss, whilst deep conditioning the scalp.

You know some people just have good hair? I’m not one of them. I haven’t the patience to style it and get in a right kerfuffle if I attempt to use my straighteners to do anything other than their intended purpose. How does one get a cute wave with their GHDs? It baffles me. Shampoo Volume is a mild and gentle shampoo, designed to deeply cleanse hair while adding volume to boost fine, lifeless hair.

Balmonds offer a natural shampoo which is free of perfume, soap and SLS’s. It’s light formula doubles up as a body wash and is gentle enough to be used on babies from just 6 weeks. It’s great as it doesn’t contain any of the irritating synthetic nasties those with allergy-prone skin might want to avoid so is our product of choice for my boys weekly post-swim shower. It’s made with herbal extracts and is plant-based with sensitive skin in mind. I love that it’s a multi-purpose wash which means using it in the shower won’t upset the skin on your body as it is so mild and gentle. I love this for my boys as a shampoo and body wash and like to take it to the gym for my post-workout shower product. Kindness to Skin ★★★★★

My favourite Olsson product

I was sent the Sensitive Shampoo (Normal/Dry), Sensitive Conditioner, Sensitive Hair Spray and the Sensitive Conditioner Spray to try. After shampooing, massage a small amount into hair and scalp, working through to the ends that are most prone to damage, so it distributes evenly. For ultimate nourishment, leave on for 1-3 minutes. Rinse well. Style as normal. Sensitive Shampoo :Aqua,Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Panthenol, Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Zinc Coceth Sulfate, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid.

I found applying a small 2p sized amount on the ends of my hair left my hair really shiny and manageable and really works nicely after using the shampoo.

I’m enjoying using all four of these products and would happily recommend them to others whether they have sensitive skin or not. If like me you want ‘salon performance results with out the added irritation’…Read on! An allergy friendly hair care range that delivers
