Maria Nila has been passionate about providing 100% vegan, sustainable and cruelty-free haircare since the very beginning.

They have also helped grow a community of hairdressers, salons, ambassadors and customers who also want to make a difference for both the planet and our animals.

Whether you’re a hairdresser, beautician or nail technician, you’ll have seen many products that claim to be vegan, but what’s the difference? It can be difficult to find information on the various vegan ingredients, and so that’s why we’re going to run through some of the key ones that you should look out for on the labels of your favourite brands. The vegan alternatives to some of the most popular regular ingredients still offer amazing results, so we’ve also picked some simple swaps that your clients will love, and which don’t compromise on results.

We understand that it can be overwhelming when choosing vegan haircare as there are so many brands that say they’re “vegan friendly” or “cruelty free”. Since the launch of Veganuary in 2014, veganism has grown from a niche market to a mainstream phenomenon as more people have become conscious of living ethically and sustainably. With 79 million people taking up a plant-based lifestyle, and this number predicted to increase to one in ten of the world’s population within the next ten years, now is the time for your salon or freelance hairdressers to act by adding vegan options.
