Formaldehyde allergy diagnosed after suffering for almost 10 years

{Formaldehyde and Quaternium-15 allergy finally diagnosed!} Thought I was going out of my mind with this insane itching and "unexplained" dry-scabby patches.  Out of sheer luck, I've been using allergin-free products for years, some with little relief.  Some I know know I have to change, but biggest problem is the shampoo/conditioner.  Anyone find something out there that is affordable and not impossible to find and that does not make your hair look like a nasty mop or horse's tail (or smell)?  Also have prefume sensativity.
