I always thought it was...

...the product I was using. If I was having problems, then I would rotate to another shampoo or conditioner. Finally, and heaven only knows how many products I tried, I don't have those dasterly bumps!

Funny thing is I have been using natural shampoos (mostly) for years and years and completely since I phased into the Loom-Life. Yet just last month I tried my daughter's shampoo (because she was having awesome results) and I have had no problems yet whatsoever. I sort of expected it.

She uses Herbal Essence Hydalicious in the orange swirl... I'm using it too and love it!

I still keep to my natural conditoners... Pure Life Soap Co Lavender or Hugo French Lavender, because both of these do not cause the bumps. I believe they even nourish my scalp.

I have to be so careful with my scalp because it is sensitive.

Hope my experience can help just a little in shedding some light.
