Let’s face it: lockdown has been going on for long enough to make some of us desperate for a change – so why not switch up your hair colour?

It’s the perfect time to get creative, safe in the knowledge that even if we end up with bright-orange tresses and that wasn’t what we were going for, we probably won’t be seeing many other people for a while anyway. Luckily for those of us reaching for the bottle of hair dye, there are many cruelty-free brands offering loads of colours to play with, so we can get the look we want without harming anyone in the process.

Whether you prefer an all-natural dye or a semi-permanent colour, there are vegan hair dye brands for everyone:
