Dry shampoo carries the well deserved status as a time saving and on some occasions a “life” saving product. Since its invention this hero product helps to refresh hair when time is tight, with just a few sprays and hair looks clean and voluminous. As with many other products, the most popular and easily accessible brands like Batiste are not cruelty free. While doing in-depth research of the hair care category we were pleasantly surprised to discover many cruelty free dry shampoos made by ethical brands in many parts of the world.
The hair care industry is rapidly developing, many brands take a scientific approach to developing new products and making necessary improvements to their excising ranges. The new generation of cruelty free dry shampoos don’t leave white residue, come in a wide range of scents and you can find a cruelty free dry shampoo for any hair colour.
