There are so many labels to look for on personal care products these days. We’ve recently become accustomed to seeing sulfate-free and Leaping Bunny labels on hair products. Now language from our diets is creeping into our hair care. Gluten-free and vegan are some of the labels we’ve noticed in the hair-care aisle and in our own showers recently. Whether you’re trying to make your shampoo match your snacks, or you just want super clean hair products, these are the vegan shampoos that are actually worthwhile.
Innersense Organic Beauty Hydrating Cream Hairbath ($28)
This hydrating, creamy shampoo is especially great for dry, coarse or damaged hair, although all are welcome. Essential oils like sage and tamanu help balance oil, while emollients soften, hydrate and smooth hair.
Ranavat Regenerative Veda⁴ Bond Complex Shampoo ($48)
Ranavat offers the first Ayurvedic shampoo clinically tested to regenerate and transform hair beginning at the scalp. The proprietary vegan formula boosts bond strength by 43 percent after every use. Users have also noticed a reduction of hair fallout and scalp irritation. Not to mention it makes hair silkier, softer and more voluminous than before.
Alo Shine Shampoo ($24)
A personal favorite, I traveled across the country with this shampoo and it helped me handle different water types. It’s also formulated for gym-goers as it keeps sweat-distressed strands in mind.
Coco & Eve Hydrating Shampoo ($25)
This shampoo douses hair with an impressive amount of moisture with a powerblend of hyaluronic acid called ResistHyal Technology. The scent of coconut and fig will turn your shower into your own personal piece of paradise.
Bb Seaweed Shampoo ($36)
This recently launched vegan shampoo, an evolution of an older formula, uses the power of the sea to give you fresh, bouncy hair. The formula features royal sugar kelp, pacific sea kelp and green microalgae.
Ceremonia Guava Protect & Repair Shampoo ($20)
Forget harsh chemicals and animal byproducts—this formula uses guava and aloe vera to help repair and hydrate hair. It’s especially perfect for the summer as it protects from future damage and color fade from chlorine, salt water, UV and color treatments.

Get TV anchor–ready hair without compromising on clean ingredients. The body, shine and strength of hair are so good after using this shampoo, you might even say it’s “perfect.”
Dae Monsoon Moisture Milk Hydrating Shampoo ($28)
Although this shampoo has milk in the name, rest assured that its ingredients are vegan. It delivers monsoon-level hydration, smooths frizz and leaves hair glossy and gorgeous.
EVOLVh UltraShine Moisture Shampoo ($26)
This gentle shampoo is popular among those with gray hair, but it’s great for all hair types. It helps nutrients seep into strands for a boost of silky shine and strength.

One of the brand’s more recent launches, this formula offers fuller, healthier-looking hair. It boosts density by encouraging nutrient-rich microcirculation to the scalp and roots.
