Why Vegan Shampoo And Conditioner Are Good For Damaged Hair
Swapping to a vegan shower routine isn’t just good for the planet, it’s great if your hair is in need of a little TLC
We’re all aware of the benefits of adopting a more plant-based or vegan diet for both our bodies and the planet, but do you know the plethora of benefits of using vegan beauty products for your hair?
What is a vegan shampoo?
To start with the basics, for any product to be labeled vegan, it has to be completely free of any animal byproduct. That doesn’t mean, however, that all vegan beauty products are automatically cruelty-free, or not tested on animals, so it’s worth knowing what’s what with your vegan products. Luckily, the entire Love Beauty and Planet range is both vegan and cruelty-free.
Does vegan hair care work?
Broadly, vegan shampoo and conditioners can work as well as non-vegan hair care, thanks to their carefully selected ingredients. How? Well, to qualify for vegan status, beauty formulators need to make sure that they find good alternatives to animal by-products. More time, money and research is invested into finding new animal-free alternatives, which results in effective products that are great for your hair and our animal friends.
The right vegan shampoo and conditioner for your hair type
Love Beauty and Planet’s Vegan Biotin & Sun-Kissed Mandarin range is not only vegan and cruelty-free, but it also doesn’t contain any sulfates. Sulfates are chemicals that clean your hair really well by creating a soapy lather. They’re amazing at doing this job, but in some products they can do more than just cleanse away dirt, pollution and product build-up: in high amounts they can strip your hair and scalp of its natural moisture. And when your hair is stripped in this way, it’s more prone to dullness and frizz, and becomes more fragile and likely to break.
This is what makes Love Beauty and Planet’s Sulfate-Free Vegan Biotin & Sun-Kissed Mandarin Shampoo and Conditioner such a great choice if you’re looking for vegan hair care that helps improve damaged or weak strands. As well as helping to protect hair’s natural oils and balance, it also contains biotin (also known as vitamin B7) and strengthens hair, on top of deeply cleansing, providing hydration, creating visible fullness, and leaving tresses soft and shiny. Five amazing benefits in one vegan formulation. Impressive.
If you want to go even further with your sustainability journey, Love Beauty and Planet’s shampoo and conditioner bars are all vegan, cruelty-free and packaged in nothing but cardboard. If you color your hair regularly, Love Beauty and Planet’s Murumuru Butter & Rose Shampoo Bar is a great option as it’s free of sulfates. It doesn’t strip your hair of its glossy pigment. Containing no dyes, parabens or silicones, it will help bring back the gloss.
If it’s volume you’re looking for, Love Beauty and Planet’s 2-in-1 Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower Shampoo & Conditioner Bars are the ticket. Just like our entire line, they’re vegan and cruelty-free, but also dye-free, paraben-free and silicone-free, meaning you’re getting more of the good stuff and less of those that may weigh your hair down and reduce volume.
Switching to a vegan shampoo and conditioner doesn’t mean compromising on anything. Choose your perfect formulation (or try them all) and say hello to healthier hair that’s kinder to animals on our planet.
