I love using high quality cruelty-free shampoos and conditioners, but they have to be gentle enough on my color-treated naturally curly hair. Many haircare products can be stripping for my hair type– especially since curly hair leans dry. NatureLab TOKYO makes cruelty-free haircare products that are gentle on my hair and that are color-safe. Additionally, their products are free of parabens, mineral oil, sulfates, phthalates, and gluten. Their environmentally friendly products, which are made in Japan, are also available in large refill sizes to avoid excessive waste.
Everything about these products are luxurious, expect the price. In fact, they are quite affordable. The bottles are elegant and thoroughly modern with their minimalist sensibility, and I find them quite enjoyable to look at from a design standpoint. Thankfully, the products themselves are really fantastic.
NatureLab TOKYO Perfect Shine Shampoo ($14.00 for 11.5 oz. from Ulta, NatureLab Tokyo and Amazon): This shampoo has a satisfying lather, and it thoroughly cleans my hair without stripping it in the least bit. NatureLab TOKYO describes the fragrance as, "a refreshingly light, soft scent with notes of violet and almond"– but it is quite faint and is barely detectable to me.
