Best Sulphate-Free Shampoos

These 15 Sulphate-Free Shampoos Won't Dry Out Your Scalp or Hair

In recent years, an increasing number of brands have been putting out sulphate-free shampoos, and with good reasons. Sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulphate are ingredients commonly added to shampoos to make them suds and lather, creating a pleasant shower experience but also stripping your hair and scalp of natural oils and drying them out.

If you've been experiencing an itchy scalp or dry hair, you might want to consider switching over to a sulphate-free shampoo to see if that's the answer to your wash-time woes. There are hundreds on the market to choose from, so we've selected our favourites from brands like L'Oréal, Living Proof, and Briogeo.

Keep scrolling to see the best sulphate-free shampoos.
