I'm sincerely sorry that you also have a wildly sensitive/reactive scalp (I've had those same types of weeping sores before, too, and know how challenging they can be). Unfortunately, Cliniderm discontinued their hairspray completely quite some time ago now (I emailed the company and was told they did so because it wasn't selling as well as most of their other products). Luckily though, I believe that their shampoo, conditioner and gentle cleanser (wash) are all still on the market. <br /><br />Wishing you positive health & a great autumn,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-87553918512637859492016-10-01T12:31:58.152-07:002016-10-01T12:31:58.152-07:00Hi there,

It was a nightmare. I began using Clear and Free shampoo and hair gel. I love the shampoo, and will probably never use anything else. The gel is not fantastic for my hair, but only because it does not provide enough hold. I've not tried the spray, but I'd recommend it based on the other products.

I'm deeply sorry that you've been struck by such severe skin allergies/sensitivities. My own skin is wildly sensitive, too, though I've always had better luck on the make-up front than with other beauty products. <br /><br />Last year I emailed Cliniderm's customer service team (who took quite a long time to get back to me) and was told point blank that their hairspray had been discontinued due to a lack of sales several months before (my message to them, that is). Unless a store here or there still has some bottles kicking around in their stock room, I fear that (sadly) Cliniderm hairspray is a thing of the past now. <br /><br />On the very (very!) off chance I ever see any (it's probably been 1.5 years now since the last time I saw it in a shop) around here, I will buy every bottle they have in stock, and comment again here. You can then some from me if you're interested. <br /><br />I haven't tried Free and Clear myself, but I know that you can buy it online from a small number of US sellers who ship internationally, such as Dermacare )http://www.dermstore.com/product_Free+%26+Clear+Hair+Spray+-+Firm+Hold_1611.htm).<br /><br />Again thank you for sharing your story here. <br /><br />Wishing you positive health,<br />♥ Jessica <br /><br /><br />*PS* As I discussed in this post (http://www.chronicallyvintage.com/2012/04/you-asked-my-skincare-routine-revealed.html), the only soap (bar or body wash) I've been able to safely use for many years now has been Dove Beauty Bar Sensitive Skin.

About 6 years ago I became allergic to everything that contains any kind of formaldyde and Clinderm hairspray is the only one I have been able to use with no side effects. When I heard they were going to discontinue it I bought 6 bottles and am now on the last one. I wish the company would reconsider. someone told me about Free and Clear so I might try it but I am wondering if you can buy it anywhere in Canada. I have found eyeliner and a mosscara (for mascara) I can use. It is made by Aveda and I have had great results. My allergy was so bad I looked like something from a horror movie. Finally my dermatologist told me it would be trial and error. For those looking for soap the only one I can use is pears. If anyone has any other suggestions I am all ears.Norma Sinclairnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-15231992874752017222012-09-18T13:14:43.897-07:002012-09-18T13:14:43.897-07:00Hi Erin,

I've tried two of those products before and neither worked for me, but I Free & Clear is not one I've used yet. I'm going to see if either of the local health food stores here carry it or could bring it in for me. <br /><br />I'm usually very sensitive to scented products, too, and avoid them like the plague, but that Live Clean hairspray has very little scent and has not bothered me (so far).<br /><br />Miraculously, while hair products, soaps, laundry soaps, body lotions, etc usually drive my skin bonkers, I've had far better luck over the years with cosmetics. I tend to use an assortment of Clinique, MAC, Red Apple Lipstick, Cover Girl, and Maybelline. I love makeup, but am not one of those gals who buys a ton, as I'd prefer to just purchase what I know I'll use all the time and spend (most of) my pocket money on vintage fashion instead :)<br /><br />Thanks again for the links and your reply!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-74454708465821631392012-09-18T01:17:32.102-07:002012-09-18T01:17:32.102-07:00Hey Jessica,

Whenever I find a sensitive product or fragrance-free product, it inevitably gets discontinued. Frustrating! When I read your post it made me laugh because I seem to have allergic reactions to random things as well. <br /><br />Thanks for the suggestion about Live Clean! I'm not good with essential oils or scents so I might have to find something else. I actually went on a research blitz and found some other products, not sure how they will hold up, but thought I would share!<br /><br />Here's what I came up with:<br />Free & Clear hairspray:<br />https://www.allergycanada.com/allergy-canada-products/product/categories/vanicream-personal-care-products/products/-e91e310125.html?tx_ttproducts_pi1[begin_at]=15&cHash=89a2951623b39d651d011d512a726fbe<br /><br />Clinique (supposedly fragrance-free) http://www.clinique.com/product/1686/6067/Skin-Care/Hand-Body-Care/Non-Aerosol-Hairspray/index.tmpl<br /><br />Jessicurl: http://store.jessicurl.com/product-p/gs-3.htm<br /><br />With your sensitive skin, what makeup products do you use?<br /><br />Erin<br /><br />Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-68624992283716697982012-09-17T06:52:28.496-07:002012-09-17T06:52:28.496-07:00Hi there, unfortunately - much to my sincere chagr...Hi there, unfortunately - much to my sincere chagrin and disappointment - it's not just well.ca who stopped carrying this hairspray. Cliniderm themselves have discontinued producing it. I suspected as much when it vanished from shops and online retailers, so I emailed the company and received a brief reply quite a few days later saying that they had discontinued it due to lack of sales/demand. <br /><br />At present (here in Canada at least) I have not found a substitute hairspray that works as well or is as safe for ultra sensitive skin, but have been using Live Clean's Green Earth Firm Hold Styling Spray for the past few months (since I stopped being able to find Cliniderm's hairspray anywhere). It's a very nice product, but I don't find it holds as well - or for as long - as Clinaderm. Still, it hasn't completely "freaked out" my skin yet, so for now I'm sticking with that as my hairspray of choice (here's a link to the official Live Clean page about that product: http://www.live-clean.com/products/green%20earth%20-%20firm%20hold%20styling%20spray).<br /><br />Hope that helps you - and I hope that perhaps one day Cliniderm will reconsider and produce their excellent hairspray once again.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-13751493718696049532012-09-17T00:31:20.116-07:002012-09-17T00:31:20.116-07:00Well.ca just discontinued this hairspray... do you...Well.ca just discontinued this hairspray... do you know where else we can buy it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-23204728956712306382011-11-20T14:23:40.829-08:002011-11-20T14:23:40.829-08:00I have had terrible scalp issues with chronic Ecze...I have had terrible scalp issues with chronic Eczema that has been affecting me for many years. Shampoos and conditioners can be a problem for me too. For other gals with these issues another thing that has been a Big issue for me was when we moved into ouR house we had well water and three years of well water (see so being allergic to air is not such a big surprise to someone that was allergic to their water) my hair was breaking off at collar length and my scalp was an awful mess. Just another thing to check out if you are having hair and scalp issues irritations is your water source.Living Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707910115390904845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-81203391019674164602011-11-20T10:31:10.817-08:002011-11-20T10:31:10.817-08:00You must have read my mind, I'm about to have ...You must have read my mind, I'm about to have my hair set for a photo shoot and have the issue you mention with product, it would be wonderful if they ship to the UK!
