You might think that having Hollywood-ready hair is out of reach if you aren’t a celebrity and you don’t have a personal stylist. And you’re so wrong! We did lots of research to peek into the secret lives of celebrity’s hair care routines and found out the products that take their hair from drab to FAB! Here are a few celebrities and the vegan hair care products that they swear by for beautiful tresses – all day long.

Ariana Grande: Coconut & Lavender Oil
If you’re an Arinator (Ariana Grande superfan), you already know that this world-famous pop singer is serious about veganism. She is not a strict vegan but still tries to stick with a vegan diet as often as possible. She loves all animals big and small, so she makes sure that every product she uses (and eats) is vegan and cruelty-free – that includes her hair care products.
It’s no secret that the singer uses extensions to get her signature high pony look. But after a long night of performing, her natural locks need some TLC. What does she use? Coconut oil and lavender. Ariana douses her natural hair in coconut oil to nourish the strands, and drops a bit of lavender essential oil onto the top of her head – it helps to promote hair growth, has calming effects, and smells amazing, too. As essential oils are potent and can create an allergic reaction, we advise you dilute 5 to 10 drops of lavender essential oil at a 2% ratio with the carrier oil or your choice.

She doesn’t wash her hair every day, but when she does, she uses a volumizing shampoo and conditioner with rose extract. She also loves Baume Bois De Rose, the modeling and sculpting balm by Leonor Greyl.

Jennifer Lopez: Supernatural Spray & Dry Shampoo
There’s no doubt that our Jenny from the Block has some of the most beautiful hair in Hollywood. Not only is Jennifer Lopez‘s hair always gorgeous, she can rock practically any look! As a singer, dancer, actress, is there anything that JLO can’t do? It seems doubtful! JLO announced in 2014 that she had been following a 100% vegan diet for 5 weeks. While she may not be fully vegan anymore, just looking at her overall health makes it obvious this period of her life keeps on inspiring her.
In between running from place to place, JLO always keeps a secret stash of cruelty-free dry shampoo. One of her stylists, Lorenzo Martin said that the triple threat loves Freeman Beauty’s psssst! Dry shampoo. And do you remember when she took to the Miami Super Bowl stage in 2020? Her stylist, Chris Appleton, prepped her hair with the vegan Color Wow Dream Coat serum.

Jessica Chastain: Coconut Oil
Oscar-nominated & Golden-Globe winner Jessica Chastain started her journey into veganism in 2005. Her first step toward veganism came from a pretty simple yet essential consideration. One day, she was “really low on energy (…) A friend of mine had a two-week vegan food delivery program she wasn’t going to use so I used it, and immediately I just had more energy than I’ve ever had… I said okay, I’m going to just listen to my body now.”, she told W Magazine in a 2017 interview.
When talking about her vegan hair care routine, we think she is right from the root to the tip! During a 2018 interview for Vogue UK, she said “I don’t like to strip the oils out of my hair. And maybe because I like to stay out of the sun I wear a hat a lot which probably protects it. Sometimes I go to sleep with a hair mask on, or coconut oil. I love coconut oil. I leave it on to really sink in.” And God knows that here. @VeganHairGrowth, we love vegan organic coconut oil too!

Miley Cyrus: Apple Cider Vinegar
Miley has had pretty much every hair style, cut, and color we can imagine. The most popular look that she sports, however, is a bleach-blond bob that definitely takes some extra love to keep healthy! If you’ve been a fan of Miley Cyrus’ for a while, you know that she’s a HUGE animal lover, and has many pets of her own at home! For this reason, the young pop star follows a vegan hair care routine, too. And her secret weapon? Apple cider vinegar.
Miley’s colorist, Justin Anderson, says that apple cider vinegar is a must-have secret weapon for anyone with colored hair that wants to keep it healthy. Washing your hair everyday strips the hair of natural, protective oils, but lots of people crave that clean feeling they get after they wash their hair. Apple cider vinegar helps to rinse away product and dirt while still leaving natural oils on the hair to keep it soft and smooth!

Jessica Alba’s Honest Company
Actress Jessica Alba is vegetarian, not vegan. She co-created with Brian Lee a successful eco-friendly consumer good business called The Honest Company that we love here @VHG! The company gathers two brands: Honest, more targeted to babies, and Honest Beauty, which gathers a collection of skin care and make-up products. Containing more natural ingredients and fewer harsh chemicals, thus safer for babies or people with a sensitive scalp, most hair care products from Honest are cruelty-free, and some of them 100% vegan.
According to Jessica Alba, “haircare is sensual”. When designing the products, she first “really wanted the scent profiles to feel warm—almost good enough to eat”. Indeed: citrus, vanilla, “Apricot Kiss” and more yummy fruity ingredients so that you enjoy even more taking care of your hair.

Emeli Sandé’s Curly Hair
If you saw the remake for The Great Gatsby, you heard that gorgeous cover of Beyoncé’s Crazy In love, right? It was smooth, soulful, and reimagined Emeli Sandé, a neo-soul singer from Glastonbury. Her signature look on stage was typically marked by a blonde pompadour, but the vegan artist has decided to let her natural hair shine, instead.
Her hair took quite the beating from chemical processes that bleached and straightened her hair, so the most important part of her vegan hair care routine is a hydration mask that was formulated specifically for curly hair.
