Clean Hair, Clean Conscience: Our Favourite Sustainable Hair Care Brands
Clean, soft hair is one of life’s little luxuries–right up there with fresh sheets. Even better? Knowing your haircare routine is free from sulphates, parabens, and other harsh chemicals. With so many choices, finding the right products can feel overwhelming. We’ve narrowed it down–so you can enjoy healthy, beautiful hair and a cleaner conscience.
🌿 What Is a Sustainable Haircare Brand?
Sustainable haircare brands go beyond just delivering great results. They consider the entire lifecycle of a product, from ethically sourcing ingredients to eco-friendly packaging and cruelty-free practices. These brands focus on natural, often organic formulas without harsh chemicals, proving you don’t have to sacrifice quality for sustainability. Many deliver salon-worthy results, offering a win for both your hair and your values.
🚿 What Are Sulphates and Parabens—And Who Should Avoid Them?
Sulphates (like SLS or SLES) are cleansing agents that create that satisfying lather, but they can also strip hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry, irritated, or frizzy, especially for those with curly, colour-treated, or sensitive scalps.
Parabens, meanwhile, are preservatives that extend shelf life by preventing bacterial growth. However, they’ve been linked to hormone disruption, skin sensitivity, and reproductive health concerns.
While sulphates and parabens serve practical functions, they also pose potential risks. If you have sensitive skin, are concerned about hormonal health, or simply prefer a cleaner routine, it's worth seeking out sulphate- and paraben-free options.
🌏 Our Philosophy: Conscious Care Is the Future
We believe in products that do good and feel good. Sustainable haircare is about making choices that support both personal wellness and planetary health. Every bottle you choose from a thoughtful, eco-friendly brand is a step toward a cleaner, more ethical future in beauty.

No, hair gloss isn’t damaging, most formulas are designed to reduce the appearance of damage. However, like any hair colour product, it’s important to choose the right formula and follow the instructions carefully for the best results. If you’re getting a gloss in the salon, your colourist will guide you on how often to return for maintenance. For at-home treatments, be sure to follow the product instructions closely.
How Often Should You Gloss Your Hair?
Most hair gloss treatments last around a month, you’ll need a touch-up every four to six weeks if done in a salon. For at-home glosses, you may need to use them more frequently, depending on how quickly your colour fades. Glossing can also help preserve your hair colour, especially when used with colour-safe shampoos and conditioners and by washing with cooler water.
Hair glosses and glazes differ primarily in how long they last. Glosses are semi-permanent, typically lasting a month, while glazes offer more temporary results, usually around one to two weeks. Both add shine, smooth hair, and enhance colour, and both can be done at home.
