Do Vegans Use Honey In Their Hair?

"Beegan" sounds really cute.

I'd say that adding "on hair" might make a difference.

I was a lacto veg for many years. Basically, I still am, but I have intolerance to cows milk that isn't fermented.
I walked a strict veg road (meaning all food and body products were animal free) a lot of that time.
I do use second hand wool, leather or silk.
I don't use ivory or bone black paint. But I used a lot of film which has gelatin.

For me personally, I couldn't justify new animal products for vanity, as clothes or body/hair care.
A friendship with a beekeeper, and the chance to see for myself how honey was harvested, brought me to a honey acceptance. I use local honey as I have pollen allergies and it seems to help.
I use locally made lip balm with beeswax. I doubt the wax is local.


Notice what word I haven't yet typed.
Vegan.

For me, that is the philosophy first and actions second.
I don't fully agree with AR philosophy.
I truly believe a backyard chicken is more ethical than imported hemp seed, gmo seeds, or CAFOs.
Others disagree. That is their right.

I agree, but I can't take credit for it, it's a common term amongst raw vegans and doesn't seem to be used as often amongst "cooked" vegans. And to be more on topic, I have always been interested in making my hair dark (hence my henndigo removal woes) so something that lightened my hair wouldn't have been a draw, no matter how I'm eating.

Well, there are some vegans who eat and use honey. I eat and use honey (and yes, I'm vegan. It's been about 7 years now), because I don't see as how it hurts the bees, and I don't see it as stealing as they never use it all.

So yes, I do use it in my hair as well.

Same here
