The Best Vegan Shampoos for Every Hair Need

It took us *checks notes* one wash to become obsessed with this shampoo, which has a coconut amino acid blend and vitamin B5 to leave hair softer, shinier, and all around healthier.

Curly girls will be glad to know this beloved non-lathering formula is not only vegan, but free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and gluten too.

Made with green tea and yummy-smelling essential oils, this cleansing bar creates a real, shampoo-y lather that leaves hair just as clean as anything from a bottle. That it’s plant-based and entirely plastic-free is a happy bonus.

With argan oil, tea tree oil, and aloe vera, the ingredient list more closely resembles moisturizer than shampoo. And unlike traditional formulas, the creamy cleanser gently lathers to give textured hair and scalp extra love, without stripping away much needed natural oils.

Deep-cleansing doesn’t have to mean harsh chemicals; one wash a week with this ultra-effective formula leaves your hair and scalp squeaky-clean, without drying it out.

There’s nothing better than customizing a shampoo formula specifically for your hair, as is this brand’s M.O., except maybe the peace of mind in knowing that the end product will always be vegan.

There’s a reason Noughty’s products topped Naturally Curly’s Best of the Best Awards list this year. Two rinses with Wave Hello defines and nurtures natural curls that require some extra TLC. Bonus: It’s got a sea-kelp extract to soothe your scalp along with your hair.

Briogeo’s anti-frizz shampoo is flyaway control in a bottle. We love it because it’s friendly toward fine, medium, and thick hair textures—so when someone forgets her shampoo on vacation, you can step in with this universal frizz-fighter.

Thirsty hair will thank you for using Beachwaver’s Good Vibes Moisturizing Shampoo. Lather, rinse, and repeat with this shampoo, and its coconut milk base will quenches dried-out pieces in no time. (Aussie beachfront not included.)

Okay, this IGK shampoo won’t pump your hair up to 30,000 feet. It does, however, pack a voluminous punch for a lightweight vegan formula. Its vegetable protein complex makes thin hair appear thick and robust, and it even includes UV protection.

Whether you're a natural blond or trying out highlights, your color demands extra attention. This vegan shampoo helps you steer clear of brassy territory while infusing your hair with megawatt shine.
