You already live a natural life. You eat healthy, consume the right products, and you may even be a healthy vegan, but what about your hair? Are you aware of the dangers in using harsh shampoos, conditioners, styling products, or boar bristle hair brushes? Like choosing your food, natural skin care products, and cosmetics, you must make smart choices when it comes to choosing vegan products for hair care. Here are just a few ways to beautify your tresses the vegan way!
1- Rethink Your Products: Despite what most hair care product companies will tell you, shampoo is really just soap. Choose one that was formulated with pure ingredients like Ole Henriksen Natural Hair Wash wit Sea Kelp. Keep the same method in mind when it comes to selecting conditioners and treatment products.
2- Embrace The Nature Of Your Hair: You already know that frequent use of heat styling hair appliances will eventually damage your hair, so why continue fighting nature? Instead of trying to change your hair, you should work on nurturing it. Instead of blowdrying your hair 4 or 5 times a week, let your locks air-dry. Instead of trying to straighten your curly locks, use vegan hair care products specially formulated for frizzy and dry hair. Try Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum and Phyto 9 Daily Ultra Nourishing Botanical Cream for Ultra Dry Hair,
Dread Fusion or
Knotty Boy Soap3- Be Creative: Say your hair is dread locked and of course you want it to be ” fab”. Get an interesting professional hair cut, or braid or twist your wet hair to form waves or that curly look. Once your hair is dry, you can undo them and arrange your style. Grab any loose hairs that show up before you twist you hair and roll them together in your fingers like you would a lock, finally you place them inside the base of the nearest lock and up along side the lock while you twist the two together. Repeat this with all other loose hairs. You will gain a cleaner look. Remember, African hair (especially if treated like European hair) is more fragile than Caucasian hair. For this reason, use products made especially for your hair, whenever possible. Dr. Bronner’s shampoos are vegan friendly, organic, fair trade and so good for the environment and humanity at the same time. Style by allowing hair to hang freely, or tie hair with some of the longer lock strands, with clips, with other ponytail holders.
4- Think Simpler Hair Styles: You don’t need 30 different hair products to have fun with your hair, you just need a little imagination. Do you want to transform your straight hair into loose and soft waves? Start with clean damp hair and make a loose braid, then secure it with a ponytail holder. Let your hair naturally air-dry before taking out the braid. Gently brush the waves to enhance your hair’s look. You can also try different styles of ponytails, braids, and more. All you need is a comb and ponytail holder or two.
