Why choose a plant-based hairdresser instead of a traditional one?
Damaged, rough, dull hair… When you look at yourself in the bathroom mirror, what you see doesn’t make you very happy. After years of treatments with silicones, chemical ingredients, and aggressive dyes, your hair doesn’t look its best. Fortunately, nothing is irretrievable, even if the situation may seem desperate! To give your hair a boost and restore its former shine, you can turn to more natural products and change your habits. By entrusting your hair to a plant-based hairdresser instead of a traditional one, you’re sure to find hair full of life again in no time. Here’s why.
Natural and healthy products at your plant-based hair salon
For years, you’ve been going to your hairdresser to cut or color your hair and walking out with a fresh new look. Freshly cut, your hair smelled good and displayed a brand-new luminous color you were very proud of. Unfortunately, as the days went by, it quickly returned to its previous state. Dryness, dull color, visible roots, damaged ends… Nothing surprising about that!
Indeed, in a traditional hair salon, the hairdresser uses hair products made with chemical ingredients such as PPD (paraphenylenediamine), resorcinol, or aminophenol. Present in dyes as well as in chemical treatments, these ingredients are very harmful to your hair and to your health. Resorcinol is even suspected of being an endocrine disruptor. These products may give you the impression of having shiny and silky hair, but they are simply “cover-ups.” In the long run, they gradually damage the hair fiber.
In your plant-based hair salon, the approach is very different. Your hairdresser prioritizes the long-term health of your hair, which is why they use natural treatments made from plants that do not attack the hair. At Hairborist, all our hair care products are made with natural ingredients, and most are even certified organic with the Ecogarantie label. This label is the most demanding in the European Union and guarantees that your products are 100% organic, free of GMOs and petrochemical ingredients, and also biodegradable.
Plant-based hairdressing is also synonymous with ecology and respect for nature. In addition to being safe for your hair and your health, these natural hair products are also respectful of the environment. The ingredients are non-toxic and renewable whenever possible, and we also encourage our clients to reuse their bottles by offering bulk refills. You can bring your shampoo bottle back to your plant-based hair salon so your hairdresser can fill it again. That way, no waste!
Customized and strengthening plant-based hair coloring for beautifully enhanced hair
Changing your look or adding a touch of brightness to your hair, you’ve probably already given in to hair coloring. In just a short time, you leave the salon with mermaid-like hair and the color of your dreams. Sounds great, right? Not for your hair! Traditional oxidative dyes contain parabens, ammonia (or equally harmful substitutes), and other chemical ingredients that are damaging to your health and your hair.
In addition to these chemical ingredients, oxidative coloring damages the hair fiber in the long term, since it penetrates inside the strand to alter its natural color. This process weakens and deteriorates your hair fiber. Damaged and dried out, your hair becomes rough, dry, and brittle.
But is it possible to keep coloring your hair without damaging it? Of course! Unlike a traditional salon, a plant-based hairdresser uses 100% natural plant-based dyes to color your hair. These dyes are made only from powdered dye plants such as henna or indigo, with no toxic ingredients. Instead of penetrating the hair fiber like oxidative dyes, they wrap around it, coating the strand and fixing on the surface. This way, they don’t alter the internal structure of the hair or damage it. On the contrary, they treat it by bringing shine, volume, and softness.
The color palette of plant-based hair coloring is very wide, even if it does not allow bleaching. Indeed, bleaching inevitably involves destroying and damaging the hair fiber. With plant-based dyes, you can enhance your natural color with shades of iced brown, warm blonde, or beautiful copper highlights. Plant-based hair coloring also covers gray hair perfectly and makes your hair shinier and more resistant. Your plant-based hairdresser will advise you on the best shade depending on your natural color.
So yes, having healthy, shiny, colored hair is possible, thanks to plants!
Plant-based hair salon: a place for relaxation
A visit to the hairdresser is a moment we give ourselves to relax and take care of our well-being. But when the noise of dozens of blow dryers mixes with loud music and the chatter of clients, this moment is no longer restful. At your Hairborist plant-based hair salon, on the other hand, everything is designed so you feel comfortable, relaxed, and at peace.
Hairborist partner salons follow the concept of a hair spa or a true hair wellness center, a place where your well-being is at the heart of everything. A zen atmosphere, relaxing music, enchanting scents… your plant-based hairdresser does everything to ensure you enjoy a pleasant break, far from the stress of daily life. This is reflected not only in the salon’s ambiance, but also in the treatment protocol: natural products with a pleasant fragrance, applied gently and with the utmost respect for your hair.
Instead of washing your hair right away with an aggressive shampoo, without considering its specific needs, your plant-based hairdresser takes the time to talk with you about your expectations. Then, they apply a customized pre-shampoo treatment with precious and essential oils included in the service. This care combines a vegetable oil with an essential oil complex, chosen according to your hair type. It repairs and deeply nourishes your hair while immersing you in the relaxing atmosphere of your plant-based salon.
Next, your hairdresser washes your hair with an ultra-gentle organic shampoo, followed by a plant-based conditioner to close the hair cuticles. They finish with an eco-friendly styling product to give structure and definition to your hair.
This ritual allows your hair to regain strength and shine, while you enjoy a peaceful moment just for yourself in a zen ambiance, with products that are both natural and respectful of your health and the environment.
So, are you ready to entrust your hair to the expert hands of a plant-based hairdresser?
