How important is it to use shampoo and other hair products that are gluten free. I have been told that hair is not a living part of the body so it can not absorb or be injured by hair products. Does anyone have any info on this as I find I seem to react somewhat to different products and do not know if it is just the product or if it is because it may contain gluten. thanks

it is very important to use gf products---when washing your hair, there is a chance some shampoo will get in your mouth--same as soap, cause you do wash your face---same goes for lotions because if it is on your hand and you eat something with your fingers--its in your mouth---it takes a very minimal amount of gluten to make us sick---i use pantene shampoo, but i have lots of hair and need a good shampoo--they say dove is gf and a few others, i use soapsoft brand for bath soap and i always read the ingreds of lotions, perfumes, make-up, etc-------very important--deb
