Below, we’re sharing a step-by-step guide to creating a luxurious, low-waste hair ritual - using some of our favourite sustainable hair styling products and accessories that are as beautiful as they are planet-friendly.
The Ultimate Sustainable Haircare Routine
When it comes to making more environmentally friendly choices, your haircare routine is a great place to begin. The good news? Sustainable hair care doesn't mean compromising on quality, performance or style. With the right products and a few small swaps, you can build a routine that’s gentle on both your hair and the planet.
Step 1: Cleanse Gently and Consciously
Start in the shower with Hairy Jayne’s solid Shampoo and Conditioner Bars. These bars lather beautifully, cleanse without stripping, and come in delicious natural scents like citrus and floral blends. For a salon-style scalp refresh, pair them with a waterproof scalp massager to stimulate circulation and boost shine. After rinsing, gently squeeze out excess water with a towel (avoid rubbing!), and let your hair air-dry to minimise heat damage.
Eco Tip: Switching to biodegradable hair products like shampoo bars is one of the easiest ways to cut down on plastic in your bathroom.
Step 2: Detangle with Care
Once your hair is damp or dry, use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle - always starting from the ends and working your way up to avoid unnecessary breakage. We love the Hairy Jayne Detangling Comb, made from a durable, sustainable material that glides effortlessly through hair.
This step is key for maintaining strong, smooth strands and is particularly important for those with curly, textured or easily tangled hair.
Step 3: Style Sustainably
Now for the styling - and this is where your personality can shine. Instead of single-use hair ties or brittle plastic clips, opt for eco friendly hair styling products that are made to last. At Tegen Accessories, our Handmade Collection is crafted from plant-derived cellulose acetate, a renewable alternative to plastic that’s as strong as it is stunning.
Whether you’re going for a sleek low bun or an effortless everyday twist, we’ve got the right tool for every texture and occasion.

Step 4: Lock In Moisture
To finish your routine, smooth a few drops of nourishing oil through your mid-lengths and ends. Look for an eco friendly hair serum with multi-use benefits - like the Hairy Jayne Natural Beauty oil, which tames frizz, adds shine, and nourishes dry strands without any silicones or synthetic nasties. This final touch keeps hair healthy, hydrated and polished, with minimal product waste.
Sustainable Haircare = Self-Care + Planet-Care
Creating a more sustainable hair care routine doesn’t have to be complicated or restrictive - it’s about choosing thoughtful, eco friendly hair care products that align with your values and your lifestyle. Whether that’s embracing biodegradable hair products, switching to solid shampoo, or collecting sustainable hair styling products that will last you for years, every little step adds up.
With brands like Hairy Jayne and our long-lasting, handcrafted accessories, building a beautiful, mindful hair ritual is easier than ever.
