Hair coloring that's not tested on animals...

[moosmom]

Okay, my gray hairs are coming in fast and furiously. I'm trying to go "green" anywhere I can. In the past I've used L'Oreal. Used it for years. I know I'm worth it, but the animals are more important.

I want to try using a hair color that is NOT tested on animals. I went online and could only come up with ones that are approved by PETA. The only one on their list is Revlon. I'd like to see what other options there are out there.

Does anyone here know of any other hair coloring that's not animal tested?

Appreciate the input.

Keep in mind that the more "natural" less chemicals, the shorter the lasting time. You will need to touch up more often. So price other options against one another with that in mind.

Try searching for these items. I am not saying they do or don't use animal testing, but they are more likely not to. Worth investigating further.

It's a great point, Donna, thanks for raising it! I'll have to review and switch what I use, as well.

Why not just be au naturel?

I'm happy now that I became allergic to hair dye after using it for decades. I LOVE my gray, mixed in with my dark. I even get compliments which makes it all worthwhile.

Henna's didn't color my grays 'cause my hair's too porous, but it sure gave it a great shine!

I used Revlon when I did it myself and I had no problems with it. If I remember, I colored my hair evey 6 weeks.

I always try to remember to read the labels too and somewhere I have a PETA list.

Be brave Donna - go natural!

I love well kept silver hair. Mine's mostly silver on the top and sides, but less in the back. If you use a shampoo specially formulated for gray/silver, it keeps that yellowish cast out of it, and it just glistens in the sun.

Be proud of the gray hairs - I'm sure you earned every one - just like I did!
