What she wants to stay away from is parabens, pthalates, sulfates, and SLS. Which is in most products sold.
Right now I'm using Live Clean Shampoo & Conditioner which is 98% plant derived.
She also doesn't need to use much.. maybe a dime sized amount of shampoo. Don't use conditioner as often, maybe once a week or second week is OK. I went thru a phase of only using conditioner for a couple months which helped but the dryness eventually came back.
I know it's hard but cutting down on washing hair helped me. Maybe once every other day is good for me now. I started doing every day last week cuz I was in LA and my scalp is a bit messed now. Also have her keep a journal of what she eats so she can track what makes her scalp more itchy? She could be having some sort of food sensitivity. Dairy, meat and sugars are huge ones for eczema.
And yeah its super difficult. My eczema gives me mad anxiety and I hate going in public during a flare up. The best you can do is be there for her, and help her remain positive. I dunno what I would do without my bf to help me thru my bad times.
