Not every curly girl loves oils. We have all kinds of curly girls among us, and it is only fair we discuss the options for those who steer clear of oils in their hair products. Sometimes, the ingredients in those products will agitate the skin, whether it is on the scalp, face, neck, or the rest of your body.
Many have nut, soy, dairy, or gluten allergies, and ingesting them is not the only way to come into contact with them, nor is it the only way they can affect someone allergic to them, and if you have small children, accidentally ingesting hair products is not unheard of during wash day.

Brands are becoming more diligent in finding ways to accommodate consumers with certain allergies, which can also help the curly girl who chooses to steer clear of certain ingredients. Hair products can be just as effective in creating shine, fighting frizz, and strengthening hair without the beloved oils.
