I, too, am one of those people that has horrible reactions to some hair products. It took years for me to find one that works for me and a lot of trial bottles thrown out. Tres Ami is the one I use now but I've pretty much tried them all. Good luck in your search, what works for some might not work for you, it's pretty much trial and error. It would be cheaper, if you have a bunch of family and or friends, to ask if you could do your hair one time with their products and see if you could find something that would work.
