When it comes to your hair, taking time to choose green products can help with the overall health of your tresses. Green, organic or zero-waste products are gentler on the scalp, maintain the natural oils in your hair and allow your hair to grow healthier and stronger. Not only are organic, all-natural, vegan or zero-waste products good for the environment, but they are also super nourishing and great for your hair! Using ingredients like pure oils, naturally derived scents, herbs and more, these products don’t use common chemicals found in traditional hair products so you can be sure that your tresses will thank you for using these green hair products.

Just because a product is simple doesn’t mean it can’t be luxurious! Allpa Botanicals hair oils are all single ingredients made in small batches for optimal quality.

Rahua oil may not be a part of your hair care routine yet, but once you learn about this incredible oil, it will become a staple for your hair health! Rahua is an oil harvested from the Amazon rain forest by the indigenous Quechua-Shuar tribe.

The oil penetrates into each hair follicle to heal and strengthen even the most damaged hair. Designed to be used daily with a lightweight formula, it can be used to prevent frizz and flyaways as well as promote shine. With the harsh sunshine of summer wreaking havoc on your hair, this is a great option to prevent summer damage to your hair all while supporting a small, ethical based hair product!
From getting tangles out to brushing through your hair while you blow-dry, we often forget that our brushes are made with products that aren’t exactly green. Thanks to Olivia Garden, you can feel good about using your brushes! Made with bamboo that is durable, lightweight and biodegradable, the company offers several different types of brush heads! While there are several options include boar bristle and ionic round thermal brushes, the bamboo massage paddle brushes are a fan favorite. Made entirely with bamboo, (both the base and bristles) the ionic cushion restores shine and prevents static while the bristles gently massage your scalp. Treat your hair the next time you go to brush it out with one of these made with a more sustainable material!
