Whether it is making a conscious choice to lessen your carbon footprint and affect on the environment, or ethical values, it is no wonder we are starting to see an increase in popularity for vegan and cruelty-free haircare. It can have benefits outside of environmental impact too! Depending on your hair type, you may find the more natural products are better suited to your hair. So the question of the hour: are vegan products good for your hair?
There isn't really a simple answer to this question. But, if the question you are asking is, are these vegan products going to damage my hair? The answer is no. Vegan products are the more natural route of your typical hair care, so the question is really, does my hair need more chemically derived ingredients or is it able to survive with natural ingredients?
Generally speaking curly or frizzy hair tends to do best on naturally derived ingredient haircare as it doesn't strip natural oils as harshly. That's not to say that vegan haircare won't work for straight hair either - you may find that if you have quite dry hair, your hair needs to retain its natural oils more. It can be a game of trial and error when it comes to what works best for your hair so to help you get started in your vegan haircare journey, we've picked out a few of our favourite vegan and cruelty-free brands and products below.
