The best Sulfate free Shampoo for type 4 ladies

So im going to give the kimmaytube way of hair care a go. Already going to get her leave in ingredients, now i need great shampoo suggestions. One that is sulfate free and gentle enough for dry hair. And if you have a suggestion of a great conditioner to pair wiith it that would be even better.
My hair i would say falls in the 4b -c cateogory. Some tight coils at the top and more puffy/ little definition on sides and back and the shrinkage is unbelievable. So anyone that shares similar hairtype please spill it. Thanks in advance!

If you find a good one, please let me know. I've been using Organix sulfate free shampoo since going natural a 7 months ago. I would say my hair is about a 4c. It gets it clean but it leaves it very dry.

Organix left my hair very dry too, so I've switched!

Keracare hydrating/detangling shampoo is sulfate free and extremely moisturizing for me. I'm in love! Make sure you get the tan-colored bottle cause I think the old formula has sulfates.

Hi Ladies-
My hair type is 4c so i will be following this thread closely...lol.

Ok...I have been using a shampoo called "Coconut Kreme Moisturizing shampoo" from a small company called Natural Epiphany...and i must say that this shampoo is freaking AMAZING!!!!

The ingredients are as follow:
Peppermint Oil, cinamon oil, tea tree oil, lavender oil, citronella oil, almond oil, casscia oil, neem oil, aloe vera, caellia, sunflower oil, rosemary oil, vanilla oil...

But i think technique is also very important when washing your hair...
I usually put my shampoo in an applicator bottle so that when i'm applying it i only apply it to my scalp.
Then i do NOT rinse my hair...I apply my conditioner to the body of my hair if you will...
Then i rinse my hair... and remove excess water before applying my leave-in condish.

Its been working like a charm

I'm mainly 4b and I've been using the herbal shampoo from butters and bars. i love how well it lathers and it smells great. Doesn't leave my hair dry either. I also like the clarifying conditioner from v05. I use it in place of shampoo every other week.

Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Shampoo is the best shampoo I've ever used!

I'm only transitioning but I'm almost 11 months into my transition. I love a shampoo called Shikai

do u have a link to do the company?

i also co-sign that it's about technique. i swear up and down washing hair in sections and using an applicator. i try to focus mostly on my scalp when cleansing and let the suds run down the hair and then lightly rub the hair.

yeah, i like butters n bars medicated shampoo, as well! very gentle. good stuff. and pretty economical, as the bottle will probably last me till sometime next year.

ur hair is so pretty!

also, i have heard that shikaki herb and poo bar work well, as well as raw african shea butter black soap soap and the poo bars from chagrin valley.

Hey Dajewel-
Here is the link:

And yes- i only wash my hair in sections....less tangles and i definitely don't lose that much anymore...

I'm still transitioning, it has been 11 months today but my hair is 4a/4b mixed together very weird
But as far as the kimmaytube leave in i have been using that for 6 months not i love my results but i replaced Knot today with Giovanni leave in
As a shampoo i have been using African black soap instead it cleans my hair and does not dry it out as far as conditioners i use the jane carter solution as my deep conditioner i add honey and EVOO to it , thanks for this thread

hey ladies!
@imlovinit- we in this together!
@lcnewjourney- keracare- i will def look into it. im glad that u found a shampoo that works amazing for you. its always exciting when something works well. Thanks for the sugg.
@fanmnatirel & berry3674- those shampoos do sound amazing- but the only thing that concerns me is i dont like to order stuff online or get stuff from small comp. bc i want to be able to always have access to things you know? Like if i run out or something, i would want to be able to pick it up quick and easy. and i would want it to be available at a few stores.
thanks for the tip on technique is everything fanmnatirel- i am going to pick up a couple of applicator bottles asap and i cannot wait to try that technique! Berry- the vo5 claifying conditioner i was def looking at bc i already use vo5 moisture condish.
@Sequoia- that shea moisture sounds good, do you use it with a shea moisture conditioner too? and if so, which one?
@alessialele & dajewel & creolebeauty1- I have tried shakaki and african black soap on my hair- they get my hair clean but unfortunately then leaves it really dry and hard. So im avoiding those for now. And the jane carters for deep condish huh - def a possibility.

P.s- All you ladies are hott- wow! great hair and style. Thanks for the great feedback

Lorea'l Everstrong Reconstruct Shampoo is also good. Awesome lather...nice fresh clean scent...doesn't strip hair.

knottykinkymommy - do you use the conditioner as well?
