Earth Day Hair Care Tips
In honor of Earth Day 2021 we are celebrating with five awesome Earth Day tips that you can start right away to do your part and helping to save our planet.
1. Use earth-friendly products.
Consider incorporating eco-friendly products into your hair care routine. Using a planet-friendly/vegan line of haircare products will allow you to give your hair and the planet lots of love.
2. Implement electricity-saving tips.
Try limiting the number of times you wash your hair. If you wash once per day, try switching to twice or three time a week. You can do this by wearing a hairstyle twice or even three times before washing and restyling your hair. That will help you to save on water and electricity usage, and who doesn’t like saving money!
3. Recycle or Up-cycle product bottles.
Most, if not all, hair product bottles are recyclable. Instead of throwing the bottles in the trash when you’re finished with your favorite products, rinse them out and throw them in with the rest of your recycling; Or repurpose the bottle and make something cool out of it (i.e., small flowerpot)
4. Turn off the water throughout your shower.
This may not be ideal for most because we tend to get cold in the shower without water, but an easy way to conserve some water is by shutting off the shower when you’re not using it. If this is not a good solution for you try washing your hair at a sink, this will prevent you from getting cold and make turning off the water easy.
5. Use refillable bottles.
You can purchase aluminum refillable bottles that are inexpensive. They are an effective way to commit to a long-term earth-friendly routine. Simply purchase the shampoo refill pouches when you empty your aluminum bottle to help cut down on the plastic you’re consuming! You can also try using shampoo bars that are made from recyclable materials.
