Manufactured in the gorgeous New Forest, Tints of Nature’s natural and organic-based products are designed to nourish and protect your hair, leaving it in tip-top condition. Their dyes, shampoos, conditioners and treatments have never been tested on animals, and much of their range is vegan. The company’s environmental policy is also sound – they are working towards using more biodegradable packaging, and use corn derivatives instead of plastics in their packaging. Their fashion-forward colours (we love their reds and blondes) are 75% certified organic. Plus their hair lightener kit is the first 100% ammonia free permanent lightener – blondes can have more fun while saving the world (and have less frazzled heads!)
When you shop at Love Organics, you don’t have to do the research – everything you buy on the site is guaranteed to be certified organic and natural, their products are never tested on animals, and all ingredients are sourced ethically. And what a choice there is! As well as home-care, make-up and skincare ranges, there are remedies, aromatherapy bits and pieces, and superfoods and drinks. We are in love with their unisex Intelligent Nutrients range; try their Colour Saving line which sustains vibrancy and is gentle on colour-treated hair, their Harmonic Shampoo for anti-ageing, volumising wonder work, and their Curly Hair serum to tame waves and frizz – all without parabens or preservatives.
As well as having a delicious-smelling, bricks-and-mortar shop – the Beauty Boutique – in Dumfries and Galloway, All Natural Me stock a wide range of all-natural products online. All formulations are scrutinised by founder Pat to ensure that they are free from harsh chemicals. You’ll find a wide range of brands, including Weleda – try their gorgeous, rosemary-scented hair tonic, Benecos – whose Melissa conditioner is scented with lemons, Sante, with their funky packaging and shampoos for damaged hair, and Khadi, whose henna-based colours add shine and strength to your locks, rather than damaging them.

Free of all synthetic chemicals, vegetarian and mostly vegan, Beyond Organics are made with sub-alpine shrub sea buckthorn in the company’s laboratories in gorgeous Cornwall. Pure, kind and ethical, these botanical and herbal infusions offer great results – expect mermaid-like bouncy, shiny hair. Their Shine & Strength Conditioner is packed with sea buckthorn berry oil, coconut oil and aloe vera juice, all of which give it a fresh, unisex scent. The complementary shampoo is sulphate-free, and reduces static and soothes the scalp. The modern, fresh packaging will perk up your bathroom too.
Green People
With a huge range of natural and organic shampoos, conditioners, and serums, every member of the family will find something to suit at Green People. With delicious smelling ingredients such as quinoa, artichoke, avocado, olive and mandarin, their products will stimulate your hair as well as your scalp. Their children’s range is gentle, natural and leaves children’s hair tangle-free. We swear by their Lavender Burst range to keep nits at bay too! For very sensitive types, their Scent Free shampoo is soothing and ultra-kind to skin.
