Celebrate Earth Day With These Vegan Hair Products!

Earth Day rolls around on April 22nd, and we’re getting the celebration started early with our vegan and cruelty-free collection. As technology continues to advance and the demand for unique, sustainable products grows, we here at Beauty Supply 123 have invested in our planet by investing in vegan and cruelty-free solutions. There’s no better feeling than taking care of yourself while taking care of our planet! 

Why should I choose vegan hair care?

The benefits of vegan hair care speak for themselves. Made from natural, certified organic ingredients and processed in sustainability-focused creator spaces, vegan hair products focus on treating the planet as well as you treat your hair. 

It’s well-known that harmful chemical ingredients like sulfates can be damaging to our hair, skin, and scalps. On the other hand, vegan and cruelty-free hair care products rely on all-natural ingredients like organic oils and vitamins to nourish our hair and scalps. 

What does “cruelty-free” mean? 

Another benefit of vegan hair care products is that they don’t use any animal products like milk or animal fats. “Cruelty-free” also means that these products aren’t tested on animals: but how does this practice impact the planet? 

Animal testing causes the suffering and death of many animals around the world. You might not consider a shampoo brand to be harmful to animals, but the reason many companies know products are safe for people’s skin is because they test the products on animals like mice, rats, or monkeys first. And unfortunately, organizations that do not use humane practices in animal testing can often contribute to these animals’ pain and suffering. Yeah, that’s pretty awful, right? And it should have nothing to do with our hair care. 

In terms of sustainability, cruelty-free products also often contain less synthetic materials, like chemical mixes that could release toxic fumes or runoff into the air, soil, and waterways around a production facility. All in all, vegan and cruelty-free products are not just good for YOU, but good for the world around you. 

Alrighty, I’m convinced — how do I get started? 

The vegan and cruelty-free collection at Beauty Supply 123 is growing every day! Here are just a few of our favorite products that cover every facet of your hair care routine, from hair color to daily maintenance and more. 

• Crack Hair Collection: If you’re not sure where to start, the Crack Hair collection is a great introductory vegan and cruelty-free hair care collection. Including an acai-infused shampoo, a nourishing conditioner, a frizz-tackling hair mist, and a gentle styling creme, this collection focuses on planet-friendly ingredients not tested on animals. 

• Planet-Friendly Hair Coloring: When you want to try out a new ‘do, you can choose a new color with planet-friendly confidence! Our favorite vegan and cruelty-free hair color products include Pulp Riot’s quinoa-powered hair lightener and developer. For a low-effort alternative, try color-depositing shampoos and conditioners like Keracolor’s Color + Clenditioner and Punk Colour’s 3-in-1 Color Depositing Shampoo & Conditioner. 

• Vegan Daily Hair Care: Finally, your hair deserves a little extra love — and so do you! Confidently pick up planet-friendly daily hare care products like Olaplex’s sulfate, phthalate, paraben, AND cruelty-free Bonding Oil. We’re also huge fans of this volumizing dry shampoo from SGX NYC, with a bamboo and white ginger recipe that smells as delightful as it feels on your scalp. 

Whether you’re just getting started with your ~professional~ hair care routine or you’re looking for planet-friendly alternatives to familiar products, the team at Beauty Supply 123 has you covered. We hope your Earth Day shenanigans are filled with fresh air and good times!
