Dye Your Hair, Plant a Tree, Save the Planet
How Our Vegan, Eco-Friendly Hair Dye Helps Trees (and Your Hair) Thrive
Every time you buy a pack of our vegan, eco-friendly home hair dye, you’re doing more than brightening your look — you’re helping plant a tree! That’s right: for every 100 packs sold, we send a tiny tree hero out into the world.
And the superheroes behind this work? Word Forest Organisation – a brilliant UK charity on a mission to tackle climate change by planting fast-growing trees in the tropics. Think of them as tree superheroes… and we’re cheering them on from the side-lines
Why is planting trees so important?
Trees really don’t get enough credit. They gulp up carbon like nature’s vacuum cleaners, keep soil healthy and full of life, and even help stop floods and landslides from causing havoc. Honestly, trees might be the ultimate multitaskers.
And these fast-growing trees? Total team players. They grow up to 10 times faster than trees in cooler northern countries, which makes them some of the best natural carbon dioxide absorbers on the planet. And they’re not just great for wildlife and soil — they’re superheroes for the environment too. They throw shade in the best possible way, give wildlife a comfortable place to hang out, and help all sorts of plants and creatures thrive. The result? Happier ecosystems and buzzing biodiversity.
How Word Forest is helping:
Word Forest don’t just plant trees — they set them up for success. They’ve delivered over 100,000 hours of environmental education on everything from seed and sapling care to income generation and beyond. That includes community learning, fencing to keep cheeky wildlife from nibbling the saplings, and nursery structures with shading and insect-proof nets. These clever setups make sapling rearing more water-efficient and keep pesky pests at bay.
And they don’t stop there. Word Forest boosts communities even further by building classrooms and running income generation workshops, helping people build resilience and financial independence. In return, the community nurtures the trees and gives them the best possible start in life. Their work proves a simple truth: when you care for the people, the people care for the trees — and the whole planet wins.
“Reforestation only works when the people who live alongside the trees are fully part of the solution. At Word Forest, we focus on long-term care, community education and livelihood support, because healthy forests depend on resilient communities. Ongoing support from partners like Herb UK enables us to invest not just in trees, but in the people who protect and nurture them for generations” Simon West, CEO & Co-founder, Word Forest.
Soil erosion, climate change, disappearing habitats — it’s all connected. And the work the Word Forest Organisation is doing? It’s nothing short of amazing. We’re genuinely proud to cheer them on as they protect our planet, one fast-growing tree at a time.
