Let’s talk hair color! Whether you’re looking to cover up some grays or funk it up a bit, cruelty-free hair dyes are definitely on the market. Although I wish this list were longer, I’m grateful that we at least have a handful of options (if you can think of more, please share in the comments).
- Herbatint (~$14): If you’re interested in switching to a hair color that’s less harsh (fewer chemicals, no ammonia, paraben-free), balanced with plant extracts and herbs, you should give Herbatint a whirl. They have all the basic shades in permanent and semi and a couple earthy, edgier shades too. I’ve been ogling this particular one… so pretty!
- Manic Panic ($12): Whether you’re looking to explore your funky wild side with some hot pink luscious locks (I so rocked this in high school and college) or looking for a simpler (and more conventional) brown or black, Manic Panic’s got you covered. Their line of semi-permanent hair color doesn’t contain ammonia or peroxide, and it actually leaves your hair feeling healthier.
- Special Effects Hair Dyes ($14.65): I ♥ Special Effects hair dye! This stuff has wicked staying power, and they carry all the same types of cray-cray colors that Manic Panic does. One day, hopefully sooner than later, I plan on Cupcake Pink-ing it up—it’s deliciously gorge!
- LUSH ($22.95): Looking for totally natural, plant-based henna color? LUSH carries henna bars in red, brown, and black tones.
- Aubrey Color Me Natural ($13.33): Available shades include dark brown and mahogany, and these dyes are free of phenylenediamine, coal tar dyes, and synthetic chemicals of any kind.
- Daniel Field (£7.85): Available in a variety of shades, all organic, and mineral-based.
- Sante Herbal Hair Colors ($12.50): Free from synthetic colorants, fragrance and preservatives. Vegan plant powder with organic henna extract.

Can anyone recommend a cruelty free, Vegan system to tint eyebrows and lashes?
Do you mean like permanent dye?
pretty plum
of herbatint
Pretty!!
Daniel Field is vegan friendly, he does hair dye as well as shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. They are such good quality that I’ve converted several of my non-vegan/veggie friends. They deliver worldwide from the UK.

I know Revlon has been cruelty-free for years, but that is no longer the case. According to PETA (who I don’t actually support because of their stance on companion animals) for a company to be able to sell products in China, the Chinese government requires animal testing. PETA removed Revlon from their cruelty-free list when they started selling in China. Revlon will not confirm or deny the allegations, which tells me all I need to know. http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/tags/Revlon/default.aspx
Also, Revlon has never signed Leaping Bunny’s Program: Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics(CCIC) http://leapingbunny.org/action1.php
You’re talking about lots of vegan hair dyes, such shame in Mexico companies don’t even know what veganism is and problably if they knew they wouldn’t give a shit
I’ll try to look for this brands on Texas
Revlon is testing on animals in China, Peta pulled them from the cruelty free list
1st off big thanks to this site – it’s a wealth of info

As for vegan friendly salon hair dyes (and products) … Affinage products are vegan and cruelty free.
There are a few salon owners that care – I know as I’m one of them
REvlon DOESN’T test on animals BUT does it contain Animal by-products? Thanks!
I think Punky Color is vegan too. It’s similar to Special Effects and I’ve heard good things about it so it’s worth checking out.
What are the downsides to Revlon? Thanks!
Revlon ColorSilk has animal products in it, including hydrolyzed silk and Oleyl Alcohol (from cows or fish).
oops! i meant organic color systems, sorry!
paul mitchell color contains beeswax & lanolin:( scruples color is vegan & so is organic salon systems.
Do you have a link to a list of their ingredients? I thought everything by Paul Mitchell was vegan and cruelty-free.
Hi.
I live in Denmark and is looking for vegan blond highlights of really good hairdresser quality. I plan to bring the product to my organic and green hairdresser and have them do the highlights. Do you have any suggestions?
Best regards, Ditte
Naturtint is my favorite vegan hair dye by far. It’s much healthier than regular brands, no ammonia, etc. It can be found at Whole Foods, health food stores, and online. Nothing is more natural than henna but it’s just too difficult for me to work with. Love Naturtint!

Mehandi pure henna and indigo. It’s the best place to get henna and indigo from! http://mehandi.com/
Yep!
Yay! Thank you thank you!
If we wanted to go to salons we can go to ones that use Revlon Professionals, Paul Mitchell, and Aveda, right?
