I just found out my tressemee hair products aren't cruelty free/vegan! And I own everything by that brand from shampoos/conditioner/heat protection/hairspray/dry shampoo/etc. As you can tell my hair is my baby. Anyway I need to replace all of them now with new hair products what ones are vegan friendly? Also what hair bleach brands are vegan because apparently Loreal isn't safe and I need to keep my platinum blonde hair because It's life.

I love Natures Gate. I have been using them for many many years. The aloe conditioner will make your hair really soft.

Thanks for this! I used Dr. Bronner's liquid Castile soap for years, but recently they started adding palm oil to their products. Argh! So I am looking for something else. I used to make my own but have gotten too lazy.

That's disappointing news about Bronners. They used to only use coconut, hemp, and olive oil, I think.

I used to buy Kirk's Castile soap, but I moved and I don't know where to buy it anymore. The soap bars are very long-lasting, and it's low-priced: http://www.kirksnatural.com/products/original-bar-soap/ . There's no palm oil in it.

Thumbs up for Nature's Gate. They even sell it in gallon sizes, to minimize packaging:

Maybe Bronner's is still OK. They say that their palm oil is grown/harvested in a way that doesn't cause any new deforestation, and that it doesn't threaten orangutan habitat:

If I really wanted to invest money into my hair I'd probably stick with Lush. I've used their products and quite liked them (they smell awesome) and there is a lot of variety based on a selection of hair needs. The only reason I didn't stick with lush as my go to brand was because to be quite honest, my hair isn't really something I value. While they're reasonably priced, I just found it bothersome to buy online. Be warned though: some products do have honey. It's all clearly labeled, though.

Manic Panic is vegan/cruelty free and has a bleach kit as well as various dyes. I'm not sure about toners, though.

Didn't know that about Manic Panic. That's pretty cool.

I currently use Shea Moisture (all of their products have the bunny logo). Their line can be found at Target and are frequently on sale; I'm in love with their Zanzibar Marine Complex shampoo because it has made my hair so shiny and vibrant. I occasionally use Mystic Divine (it's at Sally's Beauty); on their site they state that they are 100% vegan.
