Brands That Sell Vegan Hair Dye and Don’t Test on Animals

Published by PETA Staff.

There’s just something sublimely satisfying about dyeing your hair a vibrant shade of red in the middle of a cold, gray winter or bright blonde at the height of summer. Fortunately, there are many hair colors available today that aren’t tested on animals to help you achieve the perfect look. Rabbits, mice, and other animals can’t consent to the experiments that they’re subjected to in order to test some products. Make sure that the products you choose aren’t harming any animals. No matter whether you prefer an all-natural vegan hair dye, a quick pick-up box from the drugstore, a semi-permanent color, or a salon service, there is definitely something for everyone.

Try one of these vegan hair dyes from brands that don’t test on animals:
