An interview with Diana of The Natural Hairdresser appeared in today's Dutch newspaper, in which she talks about how much ignorance about sustainability still exists in the hairdressing profession. The article gave an honest insight into the practice of salons, training and product choices.

Why this interview is important
What Diana says in the article, many hairdressers and clients recognise. In training courses, the emphasis is often on cutting and colouring, while knowledge about ingredients, allergies and environmental impact receives less attention. As a result, many salons work with products without knowing exactly what is in them. The interview shows that this is not a reproach, but a call for awareness.
Sustainability is also about health
The ND interview makes it clear that sustainability is not just about packaging or waste. It is also about the health of hairdressers and customers. Think about perfumes, microplastics or aggressive dyes that can cause irritation.
Natural hair salons are therefore trying to be more conscious about choosing milder products and transparent ingredients.
Customers are increasingly asking about it
More and more customers are looking for a natural hairdresser or asking what products are used. We also see this on denatuurlijkekapper.nl and in salons joining the network. People want to know what is in their shampoo or hair dye.
The interview in ND shows that these questions are justified and that the profession continues to evolve.
What you can do as a hairdresser or customer
The article makes it clear that small steps are already making a difference:
- Learn more about ingredients
- Choosing products more consciously
- Informing customers honestly
- Reducing waste and plastic
Many salons start this way and grow step by step towards a more sustainable way of working.
An invitation to talk
Diana's interview is not a criticism of individual hairdressers, but an invitation to improve the profession together. By sharing knowledge and exchanging experiences, the number of salons working more consciously will naturally grow.
