BLOG & FAQ's

ARE ANY BRANDS THAT YOU CARRY, TESTED ON ANIMALS?

No, none are tested on animals.

ARE ANY PRODUCTS VEGAN?

Yes, many are. Please read below for the full explanation for each brand that we carry, which has a publicly stated position on being vegan.

INNERSENSE (USA)

Honey and beeswax are used as humectants and natural resins which offer benefit to the hair and offer performance in the majority of their line. While they do NOT formulate with animal byproducts or proteins, technically their line is not vegan because they use honey and beeswax. Please be assured they are as bee-friendly as possible! They go to great lengths to ensure their source partners act responsibly, and maintain a commitment to sustainability. Additionally, of their items that we stock that are Vegan-Friendly, we have their Pure Inspiration Daily Conditioner, Hydrating Cream Conditioner and Hydrating Hair Masque, which are all honey-free and beeswax free.

EVERESCENTS (Australia)

EverEscents is a Vegan Friendly certified company and offers a range of products that comply to Vegan requirements. All EverEscents products clearly state the Vegan status and all ingredients lists are clearly explained.

CLEVER CURL (Australia)

Clever Curl is a Vegan Friendly certified company with all Clever Curl products complying to Vegan requirements and certified by Safe Cosmetics Australia. Ingredients lists are clearly explained on all Clever Curl products and are also available on the Clever Curl website.

ECOSLAY (USA)

While not certified as being so, this is what Adria the owner says, of the products made by her in her kitchen; "All products other than Peppermint Schnapps are unquestionably vegan. Peppermint Schnapps contains honey, which some consider to not be vegan-approved since honey is obtained from the work of bees".

BOUCLEME (UK)

Of the items of theirs that we stock, their Curl Cream, Curl Defining Gel and Super Hold Styler are 100% vegan. The Curl Conditioner, Intensive Moisture Treatment and Curl Cleanser contain honey, and they are aren't currently looking to change this, simply because of the great benefits using honey offers. Curly hair thrives on moisture and honey is a great humectant which attracts moisture in the air and helps to hold it in combating any dryness leaving curls looking beautifully moisturised.

TREPADORA (UK)

Trepadora select the highest quality and sustainable ingredients that are always plant based and independently audited by the Vegan Society the oldest and most trusted in the world.

DO YOU HAVE ANY BLUE/PURPLE SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER OPTIONS?

There are a few blue options, that still keep things curl-friendly.

Boucleme Blue Toner Drops can be added to any product, turning it into a blue product.

Curly World With or Without Hue CondiTONER is a blue conditioner.

EverEscents Organic Berry Blonde Treatment is for the same purpose, and is naturally coloured using Red Sweet Potato & Blue Gardenia Berries.
Innersense Bright Balance Hairbath and Conditioner are a set designed for toning blonde hair.

When thinking about something for cleansing your hair and scalp, here are some options:

If you benefit from a lathering shampoo, my recommendation would be to get the Innersense Hydrating Cream Conditioner and the Boucleme toner drops.

If you benefit from a minimally lathering cleanser, my recommendation would be the EverEscents Lemon & Sandalwood Cleanser, any Clever Curl Cleanser (Regular, Fragrance-Free, or ONE), and the toner drops.

If you benefit from a non-lathering cleanser, my recommendation would be the Rosemary and Mint Co-Wash Conditioner, or the Curly World Sham-Free cleanser, and the toner drops.

The toner drops will last a loooooong time!

And obviously you can add the toner drops to any conditioner also :)
