Why Vegan Shampoo Is Good For Every Hair Type
Not just excellent for your hair, whether it’s straight, curly or somewhere in between, vegan shampoo is also a treat for the planet.
Living a plant-based life has become so widely embraced, from vegan diets and clothing to vegan beauty, that there are now more vegan hair and skincare options than ever before.
And as the vegan hair care industry has evolved over time, so have the products, becoming more and more effective. Once upon a time, vegan shampoo and conditioner weren’t as impressive as their non-vegan counterparts, but we’re here to tell you that’s no longer the case. Vegan shampoo can work incredibly well with a careful selection of ingredients. Suitable for all hair types, whether you’re struggling with excess oil, super-dry strands or something in the middle, we’ve broken down the basics and benefits of vegan shampoo. Get ready to be impressed…
What is vegan shampoo?
Just like vegan food, vegan shampoo is a product that’s made without any animal products or byproducts. It’s a little-known fact that some shampoos contain animal derivatives – like honey or beeswax, or even collagen (which can be derived from cattle or pigs), glycerin (which can come from animal fats) and keratin (which can be come from feathers, horns and animal wool).
It’s also worth shouting about the fact that vegan hair care is almost always cruelty-free by default – but definitely triple check by looking for the approved certification labels and symbols on packaging, just in case. Love Beauty and Planet products are completely vegan and cruelty-free. Our products contain a mix of natural, naturally derived, organic and plant-based ingredients that are as good for your hair as they are for our furry friends.
The benefits of using vegan shampoo
You’re not alone if you’re still unconvinced about how vegan shampoos can be quite as effective as traditional formulas. But science has come a seriously long way in a few short years. Besides being vegan, Love Beauty and Planet shampoos use carefully selected ingredients that are effective and kind to hair, plus our products are free from sulfates, silicones and parabens. Your hair will feel nourished and conditioned, while looking sleek, shiny and healthy.
The best vegan shampoo to try now
For most hair types, Love Beauty and Planet’s Sulfate-Free Vegan Biotin & Sun-Kissed Mandarin Shampoo & Conditioner are a great choice. It has five major benefits in one kind-to-hair formula: it deeply cleanses, hydrates and strengthens strands while adding volume to leave hair looking and feeling bouncy and shiny. It’s formulated with natural coconut oil, ethically sourced Italian mandarin and vegan biotin. Make sure to use the matching conditioner for the ultimate hair-wash day.
One of if not the best vegan shampoo for dry hair has to be our Sulfate-Free Blue-Green Algae & Eucalyptus Shampoo. Known for being incredibly moisturizing and hydrating, blue-green algae is also packed with antioxidants that bring dry strands back to life. This vegan formula is kind to both your hair and animals, plus it helps the ocean: the limited-edition bottle is made from 100% ocean-bound plastic bottles, which were gathered from within 9.3 miles of the Taiwanese coastline. Impressive, if we do say so ourselves. On top of that, Love Beauty and Planet has also donated $250,000 towards protecting and cleaning America’s beaches and oceans. A vegan shampoo with so much more.
