Vegan Hair Colour

UK salons are seeing a new kind of client, the conscious consumers who ask what’s in their colour.

What’s Driving the Vegan Hair Colour Boom?

Searches for “vegan salon near me” and “cruelty-free hair dye” are climbing each month.

For stylists, this means one thing: ethical products are no longer optional.

What Is a Vegan Professional Hair Colour?

A vegan hair colour contains:

  • No animal-derived ingredients (like keratin or beeswax)

  • No animal testing

  • Plant-based conditioning agents such as Chia Oil and Tamanu Seed Extract

  • Sustainable packaging and ethical sourcing

Brands like Osmo Ikon tick these boxes: 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and certified safe for professional use.

Why Salons Are Switching

Problem: Premium brands often rely on harsh ammonia, synthetic fragrance, and animal-based proteins.
Result: Odour, irritation, and brittle hair.
Solution: Permanent colours that offer a low-ammonia, cruelty-free formula that gives comfort and performance.
