The bad usage of animal testing

When you are already facing the early stages of hair loss, you will try and get products for hair loss that can work to resolve your problem, either by slowing it down or stopping it altogether. Of course, some of these products for hair loss will offer you miraculous solutions at a wide range of prices and, if you are scared enough of becoming bald, you will not hesitate to use them, regardless of the ingredients that these products for hair loss contain.

Sadly, many of the products for hair loss will results in cosmetic changes only; this means that they are products for hair loss that will only provide you a temporary solution, while others will not work at all. However this is not the only sad thing; in almost 25% of the modern day products for hair loss, they are manufactured from animal parts or substances and a full 35-40% will be tested on animals. You need to ask yourself if satisfying your ego by purchasing products for hair loss that are tested on animals will make you happy.

So, what is the alternative? The alternative to the unethical and inhumane use of animals in the manufacturing and testing of products for hair loss is the use of plants; while some believe plants also feel and suffer, they are created with the possibility of being harvested without being killed. This allows manufacturers to have an almost endless resource of raw materials for their products for hair loss manufacturing. And most believe that plants are lower on the food chain and less like humans, giving more reason to use them in the manufacturing of products for hair loss. An added bonus is that plants can be grown quicker and are less labour intensive, and require less feeding etc. and, no-one protests if plants are kept in hothouses to increase their growth rates, or fed chemicals to boost their size.

Some herb-based products for hair loss are manufactured with products that are named after animal by-products, though they do not have anything to do with animal sacrifice. Still, some of these herb-based products for hair loss are still tested on animals, making them a definite “no-no” in terms of ethical and human consumption.

The solution is simple: when you are out shopping for products for hair loss at your pharmacy, convenience store or even at the hair stylist salon; make sure that the products for hair loss that you are buying state that they are not tested on animals and that they are not made from animal by-products. If it says that their products for hair loss are not tested on animals, chances are that none of the ingredients is an animal by-product, yet, contact their customer’s line and ask if you are not sure.
