Do Vegans Use Honey In Their Hair?

[snowcloud]

i know Vegans live a strict lifestyle of no animal products but if you were a Vegan, would you not use honey in your hair?



I guess this question can only be answered by a Vegan because I know some of them may only be concerned with what they are 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.

Honey is a complicated thing in the vegan community. As a Vegan, I'm not super strict about it, but it still is considered an animal-product since it's produced by an animal.

Its a personal thing. Theres different levels of strict-ness when it comes to veganism. I have no problems with eating or using it, although I don't tend to eat it as I don't particularly like the taste. But in theory any products that a vegan wont eat they also wont use (eg meat & leather etc). I won't use dairy or eggs in my hair either.

I find that interesting.. My best friend is Vegan but when I asked him about this, hes was like,"Dude.. Why would you even put honey in your hair in the first place?"

Needless to say, I am one of the few people I know that is very attentive to my hair and its natural state.

I have been contemplating the vegan lifestyle but, I do not think I am up for it. Thanks for all your replies though!!

I am vegan but honey is the only animal product I still consume. For the same reasons as stated above ie. it doesn't harm the bees, and they don't need it. And I would use it in my hair!

I'm vegan, and I don't eat honey or use it in my hair.

I'd never heard of vegans using honey until coming to this forum, I still don't get it, but that's me.

I'm vegan and I don't. It seems to be something pretty widely debated in the vegan community. I just think that with the decrease in bee population over the years that humans should interfere with bees as little as possible. They're an important part of our ecosystem and we need to keep 'em around.
