Why Veganuary is the Perfect Time to Embrace Natural and Vegan Hair Care

If you’re ready to kick off the new year with a meaningful change, Veganuary might be just the thing for you. It’s the perfect excuse to go vegan—not just in your diet but in your beauty routine too! At Shedid & Parrish, we’re all about celebrating natural and vegan hair care, especially for those with curly and textured hair. So, let’s dive into what Veganuary is, how it started, and why now is the time to embrace a vegan lifestyle from head to toe.

 

 

What is Veganuary?

 

Veganuary is a global movement that encourages people to try veganism for the month of January. It’s all about making conscious choices that benefit the planet, animals, and your health. Whether you’re committing fully or just testing the waters, Veganuary offers a supportive community and resources to help you along the way.

 

How Did Veganuary Start?

 

Veganuary began in 2014, founded by UK-based Matthew Glover and Jane Land. The idea was simple: inspire people to adopt a plant-based lifestyle by giving them an easy, non-intimidating entry point. Over the years, the movement has grown exponentially. In 2023 alone, over 700,000 people officially signed up, but millions more participated without signing up on the website. And it’s not just individuals getting involved—restaurants, supermarkets, and beauty brands worldwide now promote vegan options during January.

Why Veganuary is About More Than Food

 

When you think of veganism, food is usually the first thing that comes to mind. But Veganuary is an opportunity to explore how vegan principles can extend to all areas of life, including your beauty routine. Many hair care products on the market contain animal-derived ingredients or are tested on animals—something you might not even realize.

 

At Shedid & Parrish, we’ve built our brand around creating vegan, cruelty-free hair care products that cater specifically to curly and textured hair. Why? Because we believe beauty should never come at the expense of ethics. Plus, vegan hair care products often rely on nourishing, plant-based ingredients that are better for your hair and scalp.

 

 

 

Benefits of Switching to Vegan Hair Care

Tips for a Vegan Beauty Transition

 

Taking your first steps into vegan beauty can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some quick tips to get started:

 

Read the Labels: Look for certifications like “Vegan” and “Cruelty-Free” to ensure your products align with your values.

 

Start Small: Swap out one or two products at a time, starting with staples like shampoo and conditioner.

 

Do Your Research: Visit trusted websites like Veganuary.com for resources and guides on vegan products.

 

Support Vegan Brands: Brands like Shedid & Parrish make it easy to switch by offering a range of vegan products specifically designed for curly and textured hair.

 

Why Now is the Perfect Time

 

January is a time for new beginnings, and Veganuary gives you a structured, supportive way to make positive changes. Plus, embracing a vegan lifestyle—even temporarily—can open your eyes to new products, recipes, and habits that might stick with you long after January ends.

 

When you choose vegan hair care, you’re not just treating your hair; you’re making a statement. You’re saying no to animal cruelty, yes to sustainability, and yes to products that genuinely nourish your hair.
