Sustainable Hair Care: Easy Tips for a Greener Hair Care Routine ♻️
Welcome to Butchers salon, where we believe beauty and sustainability go hand in hand. In our commitment to a greener future, we want to share some easy tips and ideas for you to embrace sustainable hair care. Small changes can make a big difference, and together, we can contribute to a more eco-friendly beauty routine.
Choose Sustainable Hair Products: Start by selecting hair care products that prioritize sustainability. Look for brands that use eco-friendly packaging, prioritize natural ingredients, and engage in ethical practices. Butchers are proud to partner with Aveda who offer hair care and beauty products that not only deliver fantastic results but also align with our commitment to the environment. Aveda were the first beauty company to use 100% wind power in production, their bottles are made from PCR (post consumer recycled) plastic.
Embrace Water Conservation: Conserve water by turning off the shower while applying shampoo and conditioner. Additionally, consider investing in a low-flow showerhead to reduce water consumption. These small changes can significantly contribute to water conservation efforts.
Extend Time Between Washes: Washing your hair every day can be harsh on your hair, scalp and the environment. Try extending the time between washes to allow your scalp's natural oils to nourish your hair. On non-wash days, use a dry shampoo, like Aveda’s Shampowder, to keep your hair fresh and smelling amazing without the need for water.
Invest in Quality Tools: Opt for high-quality hair tools that are built to last. Cheap tools often end up in landfills sooner, contributing to environmental waste. Choose durable, energy-efficient tools that will stand the test of time.
Recycle Hair Tools: When it's time to replace your hair tools, make sure to recycle them responsibly. Many recycling facilities accept old hairdryers, straighteners, and curling irons. Check with your local recycling center to ensure proper disposal.
Choose a Sustainable Salon: Opt for Butchers as your go-to salon for a sustainable beauty experience. We go the extra mile by recycling not only hair clippings but also dirty foil, metals, and utilizing compostable towels so nothing from the salons go to landfill. We use plant-based cleaning products to reduce the chemicals that end up in our waterways and are also kinder to our skin and the air. The refreshments we serve are vegan, locally sourced where possible or fairtrade. Our commitment to eco-friendly practices ensures that every visit to Butchers contributes to a kinder, greener, more sustainable future.
Harness the Power of Recycled Hair Clippings: Instead of discarding hair clippings, use them as a natural plant fertilizer! By mixing recycled hair into the soil, it breaks down over time, providing essential nutrients to your plants. An experiment carried out by Green Salon Collective shows that plants with hair mixed into the soil can experience an increase in leaf growth as well as boosting overall growth and health of your houseplants. Embrace this eco-friendly practice to not only reduce waste but also contribute to the flourishing greenery around you. Ask us for your hair when you leave!
Educate and Share Knowledge: Spread the word about sustainable hair care within your community. Encourage friends and family to adopt eco-friendly practices and share your own experiences with sustainable beauty routines.
At Butchers salon, we believe that beauty should not come at the expense of our planet. By incorporating these sustainable hair care tips into your daily routine, you can contribute to a healthier environment without compromising on style. Let's work together to make our world a more sustainable and beautiful place for generations to come.
