My scalp gets so itchy when I use fragranced products. I think it can tolerate essential oils ok but no fragrances. This is becoming hard cause I'm starting to have tangle problems and everything has fragrance. Ugh. Thanks for the help!

Hmmm. I don't have any product ieas but have you tried coconut oil, or shea butter etc? Maybe some herbal hair care in general might be good?

If you're looking for oils you can check your local supermarket cooking oils. Food grade oils have no fragrance. I can see, coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil,grapeseed oil, argon oil etc that can be used on hair. They're a better grade than those found in the cosmetic section/shop.

Not used these but they seem to have good reviews.

Most of the Lush products use only essential oils for fragrance. You can have a look on their website to see the full ingredients lists and if they look promising you can find your nearest store or order online.

I think you need to have another look at lush, almost all their products contain synthetic fragrance and their essential oils aren't true oils, they are just some of the components found in EO's. Plus they have all this natural fruit/veggie juice/puree in many products but they use no preservatives, what a great way to introduce bacteria to your skin.
Sorry but IMO, lush is a company to stay far, far away from.
Agreed with Obsidian on Lush, their products contain so many potential irritants and iffy packaging, it's hard to deduce what the issue if there is an allergic reaction. Whole Foods has a "365" store brand of shampoo and conditioner that's unscented, as does Earth Science, Magick Botanicals and Avalon Organics. For drugstore brands, there is one called 'Free and Clear'. There's also a Canadian Brand called Curelle that you can find online which is excellent, it doesn't contain any known irritants, whether they be natural or synthetic in nature. If you go with essential oils, maybe stick with products that contain only one or two, in case you have an issue, as essential oils can be very irritating, but because of the "natural" product movement, if there is an allergic reaction, it oftentimes gets blamed on something else ("chemicals", sulfates, silicones..), when it could in fact be essential oils that are causing the problem. Another option is to try a plain baby shampoo, those are supposed to be ph balanced and should be formulated to be more mild.
Paradise Island Organics is an online company that has some great shampoo... They have a completely unscented version. You can find them on Amazon.

We are sensitive to fragrances at my house - so here are some that I have used
Paula's Choice - the company has a good reputation as well. the products are non irritating basics. get on the mailing list & wait for sales

Free & Clear - the company does not have a good reputation - although my husband likes their products
Magick Botanicals - I have used their Gel which is good I mix it with a bit of oil. The company has a good reputation:

I hope this helps!

All of John Masters Organics is pretty clear of chemicals and they have an unscented line called Bare. I love the detangler (I use the neroli). It's expensive but a bottle lasts me for over a year.
