So why let the hair product companies test it on them? Lines like Kevin Murphy and Lush are Peta certified cruelty-free (proven with that cute little bunny symbol) AND work wonders for your hair.

Invest in brushes and tools that are made of wood from non-deforested areas. And also, make sure the packaging that they come in is made of recycled material.
