These are my favorite everyday animal-friendly hair products (vegan and cruelty free).
SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER
1. Scalp Benefits Balancing Shampoo. I have been using this shampoo for many years, and I always regret the times I stray from it to try another shampoo. I love the natural spicy herbal scent, and it does wonders for keeping my eczema at bay. 2. Shampure Conditioner. I find that this conditioner provides a good balance to the Scalp Benefits, and moisturizes my hair without weighing it down. Plus, it has that classic clean Aveda aroma that I love.
PREP
3. Batiste Dry Shampoo. This has become recent favorite of mine to add volume and freshness to second day hair. It has a nice clean scent that is not overpowering. 4. Baby Bee Dusting Powder. Out of all of the fancy volumizing hair powders out there, my favorite is the talc free baby powder from Burt's Bees. It works really well to absorb oil at the roots and provides a lot of volume.
STYLE
5. Control Force Hairspray. When it comes to styling products, I like to keep things pretty simple. I like this hairspray because it sets my style while still keeping it brushably soft, and of course, I love the smell.
TOOLS
6. Wooden Paddle Brush. I have been using this brush for as long as I can remember using a brush. It is simple, does the job, and works really well with both long and short hair. 7. Volume and Detangle Comb. I use this comb to distribute conditioner through my hair in the shower, as well as to untangle before I air-dry my hair. 8. Professional Spring Curling Iron. This has quickly become my favorite hot styling tool. I use it pretty much daily to create curls or waves. I really appreciate the extra long cord when I'm too impatient to stay in one place.
