If you are seeking a haircare line that is 100% vegan, uses plant derived botanicals and is always cruelty free, then ABBA needs to be on your radar. Furthermore, their products are free of parabens, sulfates, gluten, sodium chloride, DEA, phthalates and synthetic color additives. I have used a lot of their products, but two of my favorite ranges are their Color Protection and Moisture lines. The shampoos and conditioners from both of these lines can also be used on color treated hair.
