How to Get Rid of Dandruff (Vegan & Cruelty Free)
Whether your dandruff is caused by stress, bad weather or a new, irritating shampoo – odds are you want rid of it. Fortunately, there are tonnes of products on the market which are effective at treating dandruff and are vegan-friendly!
All the products I recommend in this post are vegan and cruelty free. For more information on what that means, click here. This post contains affiliate links and codes.
My Miracle Product
There is one product I cannot be without and that’s the Superdrug Trichology Re-Balancing Scalp Tonic. It only costs £3.99 (and is sometimes on offer!) but I would easily pay £30 for this miracle formula.
When I start noticing the signs of dandruff, I reach for this product. After washing my hair, whilst my hair is still wet, I dribble this formula on my scalp. I then rub it in and dry as normal. Instantly it calms and treats my scalp. I’ve already recommended this to so many followers and everyone raves about how life changing it is.
You can see how I apply this tonic, plus my other top anti-dandruff tips in this video:
Anti Dandruff Shampoos
It’s important to use shampoos specially formulated for sensitive, dry scalps. These are some options which are vegan and cruelty-free. I’ll note my favourites with a VBG♡
- Irritated Scalp Shampoo, Green People
- Soak and Float bar, Lush – VBG♡
- Angel bar, Lush
- Scalp Coconut & Guava Shampoo, Vita Coco – VBG♡ (save 20% with code NICOLE 20)
- Trichology Revitalising Scalp Shampoo, Superdrug
- Heali Kiwi bar, Ethique
- Coffee Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, Dr Organic – VBG♡
- Itchy Scalp 2in1 bar, Zero Waste Path –VBG♡
- Dandruff Relief, Jason
The Ginger Anti Dandruff Shampoo* from The Body Shop is NOT vegan as it contains honey.
Anti Dandruff Conditioners
Personally, I don’t find anti-dandruff conditions make a difference to my scalp health. This is because I only condition the ends of my hair. However, for those who suffer more severely, these will be helpful:
- Irritated Scalp Conditioner, Green People
- Scalp Coconut & Guava Conditioner, Vita Coco – VBG♡ (save 20% with code NICOLE 20)
- Anti-Dandruff Conditioner, Avalon Organics
- Trichology Intensive Scalp Conditioner, Superdrug
