My $40 'organic' shampoo gave me a weird rash for a week

I saw this fancy shampoo at Whole Foods that claimed to be all natural with no chemicals. Paid $40 for a tiny bottle because I wanted to treat my hair. After using it for three days, my scalp turned red and itchy, and I looked like I had a bad sunburn on my head. Turns out the 'natural' oils were irritating my skin way worse than regular stuff. Anyone else fall for expensive organic products that backfired?

Yo, did you check if the rash actually was from the shampoo or something else?

Wait, three days of use before you saw it? That's wild because some of those "natural" oils are basically poison for certain skin types. I tried a "pure" tea tree oil shampoo once that cost me like $35 and my scalp literally peeled for a week. Felt like tiny little sandpaper flakes falling out. The expensive organic stuff is a total gamble sometimes, especially when they pack it with random essential oils.
