Embracing a plant-based lifestyle doesn’t have to be a struggle. The beauty industry has especially made a concerted offer to introduce vegan formulas across skincare, makeup and haircare. But finding the right product can be akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Cruelty-free is also a term you’ll find on many a beauty product, but doesn’t guarantee that it’s vegan. Many cruelty-free hair products in particular contain ingredients derived from animals such as honey, beeswax and keratin.
So, for a concise and accurate list of the most essential hair product of all – shampoo – we’ve rounded up the best of the budget-friendly so you can tame frizz, reduce flyaways and most importantly, cleanse hair, with complete peace of mind.
You may worry that switching to a vegan shampoo might mean compromising on quality, price or won’t be as effective as you usual favourite. But according to Louisa Gayford, Garnier’s Scientific Advisor, the texture and efficacy remains consistent and will feel and lather the same as a non-vegan alternative.
