5 Best Vegan Hair Products for Winter
Silky, smooth hair isn't the easiest to maintain in winter. Check out L'OFFICIEL's guide to natural, vegan hair care products to combat seasonal dryness.
Veganism has grown in popularity as sustainability efforts among brands, communities, and individuals have become more commonplace, often in response to climate change. As vegan values continue to enter the mainstream, a wider array of natural and vegan products are available on the market. Veganism is a way of life that stands against all kinds of cruelty to animals; not consuming any animals, avoiding animal byproducts, and standing against animal exploitation. It extends beyond a diet, prompting individuals to know the ingredients of the products they use—not only in food but also in everything from cosmetics to furniture to hair products.
Vegan hair care products are divided into two variations; products that do not contain any products derived from animals, and products that have not been tested on animals at any stage from production to supply, i.e. cruelty-free.
Sometimes it is unclear whether a product's ingredients are cruelty-free; in this case, instead of just looking at the label and buying, check out the brand's website and look for the detailed product explanation. Another way to find out if a brand or product is cruelty-free is by looking for the cruelty-free logo (a small rabbit) on the website or packaging.
With all that said , these following hair products are certified vegan, cruelty-free, and combat winter woes by making hair thicker, smoother, silkier, and healthier overall.
The phrase "no one is perfect" does not apply here. The Olaplex Hair Perfector will do just that. You will notice the effects of Olaplex Hair Perfector even after the first use, which works to repair treated and damaged hair. With this product, hair changes dramatically after two to three times a week and only one week of use.
Used as the first step of the hair care routine, apply this cream to towel-dried hair from the root to the ends and leave it for at least 10 minutes. After rinsing, you can continue with your shampoo and conditioner. While its creamy structure helps to define the curls, it also repairs the breakage at the ends of the hair. In addition to all these benefits, it is both cruelty-free and vegan, and its packaging is completely sustainable.
Not sure what your hair needs? Aveda offers two tests that you can easily perform at home to solve this dilemma. In the elasticity test for damaged hair, pull the wet hair left on the towel from both ends, and if the hair breaks and does not stretch, your hair is worn. For the pore test for dry hair, throw a strand of hair from your hairbrush into water. If the hair sinks to the bottom, it means that it is porous and lacks moisture.
If your hair failed both of these tests, opt for the Aveda Botanical Repair Shampoo. It gently cleans away product build-up and pollution from the hair through advanced herbal technology. In a natural formula featuring avocado, green tea, and sancha inchi, this shampoo repairs the hair from the inside out.
Conditioner is one of the indispensable parts of your hair care routine. Be sure to add Urban Care's Hyaluronic Acid & Collagen Hair Conditioner to your shopping list. As the conditioner leaves a silky feel and restores lifelessness to hair, it provides elasticity and prevents breakage. The product also works well for those with curly hair by thickening and strengthening the appearance of hair, as well as defining curls and boosting long-term hair growth.
Although fragrances are often unnatural ingredients, The Body Shop's Shea Regenerating Hair Mask's hazelnut scent shines through without compromising on its natural status.
Inspired by generations of women from Ghana who moisturize their hair with shea butter, this mask will intensely nourish dry hair and restore it to its healthiest state. After getting out of the shower, apply only once a week to towel-dried hair, wait for 10 minutes before rinsing, and prevent all hair breakage.
Curly girls will also love this dense mask for it increases curl buoyancy while also taming frizz.
Moroccanoil's Conditioning Oil is the easiest way to get the silky, shiny, and healthy hair you always wanted. The rich vitamin E and antioxidants nourish and repair the hair, fix up split ends and provide a silky texture.
The application is also very easy. All you have to do is apply one to two drops from the middle of the hair to the ends of your hair and dry without rinsing.
According to the laboratory results, it has been concluded that the shine of the hair increased by 118 percent after the first use of the conditioning oil. This nature-friendly care oil, which is completely vegan and cruelty-free, is almost miraculous.
