Kevin Murphy Cruelty Free and Vegan Hair Must Haves!
Guys – I know it can be SO hard to find salon-quality hair care that is vegan and cruelty free. SO many hair brands throw tons of keratin (from sheep’s wool) and other animal-derived products into everything, or they simply don’t care about the animal testing issue (or do it when required by law – most notably in China). I’m really thrilled when I find a high-end salon brand that my hair loves (already a tough request!) and it’s cruelty free and vegan!
I was excited to try the Angel Wash, Angel Rinse and Motion Lotion from Kevin Murphy. First of all, the packaging is adorable – and so unique. The bottles definitely stand out and look nice on your bathroom shelves. But, I do wish they were bigger and slightly easier to pour from. You gain a little style, but you do lose some convenience.
The Angel Wash is for fine, colored hair. It’s sulfate free, but still manages to lather quite well. It smells great, and most importantly makes my hair feel soft and clean. It reduces breakage, protects color, and is pH balanced. The Angel Rinse doesn’t weigh my fine hair down at all (which is very important to me), but still manages to make it look SUPER healthy, and hydrated. I end up with shiny, bouncy hair, which is exactly what I want!
The Motion Lotion is a very light curl-enhancing lotion. I added a quarter-sized amount to my wet hair after shampooing and conditioning, gave it some good scrunching and let it air dry. I didn’t get the hold that I do with my Paul Mitchell Curl Cream, but it gave me some definition, a lot of weightless hydration, UV protection and shine! It’s also paraben-free, which isn’t something I actively seek out, but I know it’s very important to some of you.
So the verdict is that I REALLY LOVE these products. They are quickly becoming my all time favorites – and I’m excited to try more products from the Kevin Murphy line. There’s a product called Killer Curls that has my name on it! Use this salon finder to find KM products in your area.

You always have great hair but geez, it’s so bouncy and shiny in this pic! My dull, flat hair is practically begging me to hunt this stuff down ASAP.

That Angel Wash seems like it would be a perfect fit for me!
I love the packaging on these!
Unfortunately not all Kevin Murphy products are vegan 🙁 you would think they would be because they claim to be cruelty free and so environmentally friendly!
Kevin Murphy products are not cruelty free or vegan, they use honey and beeswax. Those are not vegan.
Hi Dave – Kevin Murphy does not test on animals, use animal-tested ingredients, or sell in regions where animal testing is required by the government. I’m not sure which products you’re talking about but the ones I mentioned here don’t have honey and beeswax.
