Prepare for Veganuary with Vegan Hair Products

January 9, 2023 SBS Hair 0 Comments

The campaign was launched in 2014 to raise awareness of the benefits the vegan lifestyle offers. Combining the name January and the plant-based diet, many people worldwide participate in this annual tradition to help reduce their impact on the planet. Although most participants will concentrate on changing their diet to eliminate animal products, there are many other elements to consider with veganism.

Animals are used throughout many industries, including the fashion industry and, of course, the beauty industry. From trialling products to the ingredients often found in the products derived from animals, they are a significant part of the beauty industry and the harm that comes to animals worldwide. For instance, a popular ingredient in hair products is Keratin. This common ingredient helps to strengthen your hair and prevent hair loss, often due to the other harsh chemicals found in hair products. Keratin is made from ground-up horns, hooves and feathers.

However, with research and development, many manufacturers can make plant-based alternatives to the harsh chemicals and animal ingredients used in the industry. So, if you are considering participating in Veganuary, swapping to vegan hair products is essential.

What Are the Benefits of a Vegan Lifestyle

Whether you choose to do Veganuary as a personal goal to reduce your impact on the environment, looking to trial the lifestyle before committing, or doing it for charity, there are many benefits of swapping to a vegan lifestyle.

Decrease in Chronic Conditions

Research has been carried out to prove that a vegan lifestyle can reduce the risk of various conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes, cancer and hypertension. The diet is rich in vitamins, minerals, healthy fibres and antioxidants, which can even lower the risk of heart disease.

Reducing the Harm to Animals

Extracting the ingredients needed for a non-plant-based diet causes the killing of millions of animals worldwide. Choosing a vegan lifestyle can reduce the demand for animal products, reducing the poor treatment of animals whose only purpose is to be raised to be killed.

Environmentally Friendly

For a hundred reasons and more, choosing vegan products is much better for the environment. Fewer animals mean less deforestation to allow them to graze, and their packaging is often 100% made from recycled materials or can be recycled. Animal agriculture produces 18% of all greenhouse gases, so opting for a plant-based lifestyle can help reduce your contribution.

So, How Do You Get Started?

Of course, there are many plant-based diets that you can follow online, but when it comes to your cruelty-free professional shampoos and other hair products, it can be a little more challenging. There has been a significant increase in the beauty industry, encouraging many manufacturers to make simple swaps suitable for all lifestyles. So, check your current products to see what chemicals they contain derived from animals. You can do this with an online vegan ingredient checker for free. Simply input the ingredients used for the product, and it will highlight the probability of containing animal products.

However, if you already know your products contain non-vegan ingredients, you can make some easy swaps for your hair. Although most of our professional hair products are vegan and cruelty-free, they still offer the best performance to give you the best-looking locks and healthy hair. Many users of vegan products even report an even healthier head of hair than when using cheap store-bought non-vegan products. Non-vegan products often contain an array of harsh chemicals that can dry hair out, causing damage, breakages and much more. Making the vegan swap can improve your health and hair and reduce your environmental impact.

Swap to Vegan Shampoos

Shampoo is one of the most common products for hair care worldwide, and finding the right shampoo for each hair type is essential for the best outcome. Each scalp is unique and requires a treatment which will best suit the issues it may have. For example, a volumising shampoo might not be the best option if you have a thick hair head. So, when choosing the right vegan shampoo for you, research which will work best. Here are some of our top picks for swapping to vegan shampoos this Veganuary.

EVERYGREEN BotoDeep Shampoo  If you are looking for a shampoo to improve the thickness of your hair, EVERYGREEN BotoDeep can provide you with an entirely vegan swap for your usual shampoo. This shampoo gives tone, body, thickness and strength and makes hair instantly soft and voluminous. Providing natural ingredients, it plumps and thickens the hair, filling the deconstructed areas devoid of matter.

Some of the Best Vegan Conditioners

Unlike harsh chemicals in other products, these conditioners won't weigh hair down and offer glossy locks without greasy build-up.
