Today, VEGAMOUR, the first-of-its-kind and global leader in hair wellness, unveils a partnership with three leading industry experts to improve hair wellness education by combining the brand’s product innovation strengths with diverse expert experience in the fields of dermatology and science, nutrition, and hair care.

VEGAMOUR combines sustainably harvested, plant-based actives with the latest advances in molecular science to produce clean, clinically-tested formulas that effectively promote healthy looking hair through hair and scalp wellness. As the first haircare brand to actively engage consumers in the premise that nutrition, physical health, mental health, and emotional well-being are just as important to hair health and appearance as topical hair care products, VEGAMOUR is advancing its 360 degree approach with the announcement of an all-female, leading expert panel which includes Harvard-trained and board-certified dermatologist, Neera Nathan, MD, MSHS, Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist Erica Zellner, and Celebrity Hairstylist and co-owner of Los Angeles beauty studio STRIIIKE, Ashley Streicher.

“By joining forces with these experts, we continue to raise awareness of the importance of ensuring not only that the products we choose to put onto and into our bodies are clean and healthy, but also the key role that lifestyle (i.e. diet, sleep, stress, emotional and mental health) contribute to overall hair health,” said Dan Hodgdon, CEO and Co-Founder of VEGAMOUR.

In partnering with some of the top professionals, each a leader in their respective fields, VEGAMOUR continues to push the importance of holistic hair health by inviting these experts to share their best hair wellness advice on how to grow and maintain healthy, beautiful hair. This strategic partnership is designed to help build a more connected community for consumers to access expert-backed hair wellness education, content, tools, and resources across brand channels while showcasing different aspects of the brand from these experts’ perspectives.

“Sephora is thrilled to expand our partnership with VEGAMOUR and continue bringing clients best-in-class haircare products both online and soon in our stores,” said Jennifer Lucchese, VP Haircare Merchandising at Sephora. “With its focus on holistic hair health, VEGAMOUR helps clients address the underlying causes of hair thinning and offers clinically proven formulas to deliver results. We look forward to the continued growth of this brand and supporting the overall exciting, emerging category of hair wellness.”
