Best sustainable hair care products for everyday or regular use
Swapping out your traditional shampoo for a more eco-friendly option is a simple way to make your hair care routine more sustainable. We’ve listed a couple of everyday options that can help you reduce your carbon footprint.
Sustainable shampoo
Shampoo bars
Shampoo bars are a popular option for those looking for an alternative option to plastic container shampoos. They’re compact, lather just like traditional shampoo, and are often more natural than their liquid counterparts.
The shampoo bars at Hairy Jayne are natural, plastic free and are 98% naturally derived and biodegradable. It has zero plastic packaging, and also won Gold in the 2024 Natural Health Beauty Awards.
You can use shampoo bars every time you wash your hair, before conditioner, just like you would with traditional shampoo.
Shampoo concentrate
If a shampoo bar isn’t quite right for your hair, then shampoo concentrate is a great alternative.
Shampoo concentrate is a liquid shampoo that is twice as concentrated as traditional shampoo, meaning you can use less product each wash.
It also contains half the water contents of regular shampoo, so you get even more product in each jar. Hairy Jayne’s shampoo concentrate lathers when activated by water, and is oil free, 100% naturally derived and biodegradable.
Once you’ve finished your jar, you can also purchase one of our handy shampoo concentrate refills.
Sustainable conditioner
Natural conditioner and refills
For those who prefer the texture and feel of traditional conditioner but want a more eco-friendly option, natural conditioners in refillable containers are a great choice.
Hairy Jayne’s natural conditioner comes in a reusable metal dispenser and is available in different formulas to suit a variety of hair types, like dry or fine hair. It works just like regular conditioner, smooth and easy to apply, but without the waste.
You can use it every time you wash your hair, and it's also ideal for co-washing, especially for those with curly, dry or textured hair.
Once your dispenser is empty, simply refill it with one of our conditioner refills. Making this an easy, sustainable upgrade to your everyday routine.
Eco-friendly heat protection & hair oil
Heat protection
Hairy Jayne’s Amber Hair Perfume is a lightweight, multi tasking mist designed to care for your hair after washing and in between.
It is naturally scented with essential oils, while also containing heat protection to keep your hair damage free when blow drying.
Designed for everyday use, you can use the hair perfume in two ways. Spritz it onto freshly washed, damp hair before blow drying to help detangle and lock in moisture, as well as forming a heat protection barrier.
You can also use it on dry hair between washes to calm frizz and boost shine. It’s a non-greasy formula that won’t weigh down dry hair. Simply spray onto mid lengths and ends, let air dry, and you’re good to go!
Hair oil
Perfect to use before every wash day, a pre-shampoo oil is the ideal way to nourish your scalp and leave hair feeling soft and healthy.
Hairy Jayne’s pre-shampoo treatment oil is formulated with soothing plant oils and helps relieve irritation, while boosting moisture from your scalp to the ends of your hair.
Also, it’s really simple to apply, making it perfect for regular use. Simply add a few drops to your scalp using the pipette, brush through and leave in for 30 minutes before washing. You can also leave it overnight for a more intense treatment.
