The 10 must have vegan haircare brands

We understand that it can be overwhelming when choosing vegan haircare as there are so many brands that say they’re “vegan friendly” or “cruelty free”. Since the launch of Veganuary in 2014, veganism has grown from a niche market to a mainstream phenomenon as more people have become conscious of living ethically and sustainably. With 79 million people taking up a plant-based lifestyle, and this number predicted to increase to one in ten of the world’s population within the next ten years, now is the time for your salon or freelance hairdressers to act by adding vegan options.
