Vegan hair care and why we should all make the switch?

Vegan hair care is becoming increasingly popular every day, and it's not hard to understand why.

The International Labor Organization (ILO) reports that in 2017, an estimated 287,000 animals were used in tests for cosmetics and personal care products.

That's more than 1,000 animals per day, a figure that's been steadily increasing.

It's estimated today that more than 1 million animals will be used in tests for cosmetics and personal care products.

The testing process is often cruel and involves exposing the animals to dangerous chemicals and other ingredients. These tests usually don't reveal any risks to humans but harm the animals.

Along with being animal rights advocates, there are several reasons vegan hair care is a great option. First of all, vegan hair care is cruelty-free, which means that it doesn't involve animal products or testing.

Second, vegan hair care is typically environmentally friendly. Most brands focus on the ingredients used in vegan hair care products being plant-based, which means that they don't damage the environment. 

Not convinced yet? Here are four reasons to consider vegan haircare:

1. Animal cruelty is rampant in the hair-products industry, and every step of the production process, from raising and slaughtering animals to manufacturing the final product, involves cruelty.

2. The ingredients in most hair products are synthetic and can be toxic and harsh on hair and scalp. Many of these ingredients are derived from animal byproducts, including skin, hair, and nails.

3. Many conventional hair products contain harsh sulphates and other chemicals that can strip hair of its natural oils and damage hair follicles. 

4. Vegan hair products are often made with natural ingredients, such as plant-based oils, which are gentle on the hair and the environment.
