Gluten-free hair products

Hydrolyzed wheat protein runs rampant in our beauty products, especially in our shampoos, conditioners, and moisturizers. 

For people with gluten sensitivities like me, any form of wheat in beauty products may create uneasiness.

Used for strengthening hair, hydrolyzed wheat protein is an agent derived from wheat that is partly turned into water through hydrolysis. 

But there are several organic and affordable choices that leave the hydrolyzed wheat protein out their products.
