I'm a Conscious Haircare convert. Here's the best all-natural brands I’m shopping now.

“The best thing I’ve ever done for my Haircare routine? Switched to clean, certified organic, cruelty-free, natural products. Conscious Haircare is now my jam, and with months of research under my belt, here’s the seven top Conscious Haircare brands set to become your own natural obsession.” 

⁠1.   THE CONSCIOUS HAIRCARE BRAND: MAKE 

“Make is such a fantastic Conscious Haircare find. Made entirely in Australia, this professional Haircare brand is the perfect blend of clean beauty principles and science. 100% vegan botanical formulations nurture hair health, encourage curls, hydrate, style and even soothe the scalp. With no nasties involved, including sulphates and parabens, Make is gentle on the hair and the planet.” 

THE BEST BIT: Exclusive to Hairhouse, MAKE Haircare combines the best of science and Conscious Haircare to offer solutions to every hair concern you can think of. Ideal for hair battling frizz (think Smooth and Soft range), or damaged hair (go for Hydrate range) or even Hair Treatments for fine hair (the Volume range is a must), MAKE delivers 100% vegan results to all hair types.” 

MY BEST PRODUCT PICK: "MAKE Hydrate Detangling & Conditioning Mousse keeps my misbehaving hair in shape. I add this super lightweight Haircare product to my post-shower routine to instantly enrich my tangled hair with botanical ingredients and antioxidants. The foam texture combs through so easily leaving hair conditioned and free of frizz.”  

⁠2.   THE CONSCIOUS HAIRCARE BRAND: DAVROE  

“This gorgeous Haircare brand is 100% vegan, sulphate, paraben, and cruelty free. That’s some big ticks right there! Designed for all hair types, Davroe has become a game-changer when I’m on the go and I’ve got all my friends onto it too as it offers diverse ranges for various Haircare concerns.”   

THE BEST BIT: “I love that Davroe is 100% Australian made and owned, created in the Adelaide foothills. As the first vegan, sulphate and paraben-free Salon professional brand in Australia, it remains a trailblazer in natural hair care. I adore the Argan-Oil infused formulations too; they have hydrated my hair back to life.”

MY BEST PRODUCT PICK: “Davroe Moisture Senses Hydrating Conditioner single-handedly manages my frizz, split ends, and dry hair on days it needs it most Australian Lily Pilly, Argan Oil and Quinoa, it drenches my hair in moisturising botanicals. Styling is so much easier now and I can always feel the benefits instantly after using a Davroe product.” 

⁠3.   THE CONSCIOUS HAIRCARE BRAND: O&M  

“Known as the pioneers of clean colour technology, Australian-made O&M (Original Minerals) creates everyday luxury within the Conscious Haircare space. On a mission to bring colour to hair, free of chemicals including sulphates, parabens - after more than 20 years, the natural power of O&M now extends into Styling products for all hair types including curly hair, flat hair, frizzy hair, coloured hair.” 

THE BEST BIT: “The O&M brand began as the first stand-alone, ammonia-free salon in Australia when one of the founders suffered from contact dermatitis due to the chemicals in conventional hair colour. Nearly two decades on, O&M has now become a luxurious, sulphate and paraben free - entirely cruelty-free - Haircare brand that extends the focus of hair wellness into every step of your Haircare routine.” 

MY BEST PRODUCT PICK: “My O&M obsession must be the Sukuroi Gold Smoothing Balm. The rich texture acts as the ideal hair moisturiser, infusing weightless hydration into each strand. Inspired by the Japanese practice of Kintsukuroi - which involves using gold to repair broken pottery - this antioxidant balm gives serious shine when applied to clean hair before Heat Styling.” 

⁠4.   THE CONSCIOUS HAIRCARE BRAND: PURE  

“The name says it all. Pure Haircare is free of all the nasties, including sulphates and parabens which prove incredibly drying on the hair. This family-owned, Australian brand has flipped the script, only using deeply hydrating natural oils, vitamins, and extracts from across Australia that work hard to nurture, hydrate, and nourish the hair naturally.” 

THE BEST BIT: “Pure is 100% certified organic, and comes in simple, aesthetically perfect packaging. Each Haircare product, including Shampoo, Conditioner, Styling Products and Treatments instantly make my bathroom look better – which is a bonus!  Plus, each bottle is created with 100% recycled Australian land waste plastic, reducing plastic waste with each purchase.” 

MY BEST PRODUCT PICK: “I’ve really noticed an improvement in my Styling results since using Pure Guardian Angel Thermal Heat Protection before Heat Styling. Without all the chemicals, sulphates and parabens which can further dry the hair, this 100% certified organic Heat Protectant is able to infuse hair with lightweight nutrients that protect the hair and allow it to flourish. There’s zero crunchiness, split ends or frizz and my style holds, without being stiff and lifeless. Love!” 

⁠5.   THE CONSCIOUS HAIRCARE BRAND: NAK  

“Founded over 20 years ago by experts with over 100 years’ combined experience in Haircare, NAK Hair has become a bit of a buzz brand in the Conscious Haircare space. Made in Australia, this vegan friendly brand was created to bridge the gap between the Salon experience (where hair always looks beautiful!) to your own bathroom, leaving me confident all formulations are safe, sustainable, efficacious, and amazing.” 

THE BEST BIT: “NAK prioritises goodness inside and out. Each signature NAK bottle is made from PCR HDPE (Post-Consumer Recycled High-Density Polyethylene), an eco-friendly choice produced using materials - such as used milk and juice bottles - collected across Australia.” 

MY BEST PRODUCT PICK: “If you’re anything like me, brassiness can creep up on blonde hair without warning. NAK Hair Platinum Blonde Anti-Yellow 60 Second Repair proves a complete savour, gently toning my blonde hair, balancing pigments, and removing yellowness. Baobab Seed and Indigo Leaf Extracts further protect from damaging UV and heat and in one minute, my blonde is better!” 

⁠6.   THE CONSCIOUS HAIRCARE BRAND: MARIA NILA   

“You know if it’s straight outta Stockholm, it’s got to be super cool. Maria Nila is no exception.

Remaining family-run, Maria Nila is all about respecting nature and animals, with 100% vegan, cruelty-free ingredients - including powerful argan oil – combining in Haircare that harnesses the very best in scalp and hair health.”

THE BEST BIT: “The Maria Nila packaging is not only cute, but also Climate compensating, with each Haircare product housed in CO2 compensated packaging. That means every product you purchase, from Shampoo to Conditioner, Hair Treatments to Colour-Care is climate recycled. Plus, every year the company calculates emissions from packaging, production, and other business-related activities, offsetting emissions and reducing CO₂ through tree-planting projects.” 

MY BEST PRODUCT PICK: “Itchy scalps are annoying! I’ve found cleansing the scalp is key to calming the area by removing build-up and residue. Maria Nila Purifying Cleanse Shampoo is an amazing cruelty-free scalp Cleanser, ideal for all hair types, enriched with cooling peppermint extracts and soothing aloe vera that soothes the area, fast. By caring for my scalp first, the results in my hair health have been amazing.”
