Washing away the “bad hair day”: Responding to changing trends in haircare




Hair is exposed to many damaging processes, including: repeated washing, combing and heat styling; bleaching and coloring; air pollution and the sun’s UV rays. The combination of these factors can lead to hair that is: more difficult to manage and comb; susceptible to breaking easily; dull and rough in appearance; more water absorbent and porous; and more prone to color fading.
The evolved and aware consumer of today is asking for hair-care products that give maximum protection from damage and have a long-term benefit.
Studies have shown that “damaged hair” is repeatedly among the top five claims in new hair care product launches every year according to Euromonitor and Mintel.1, 2
The challenge that consumers face is that many of today’s hair repair solutions only target damaged sites on the hair cuticle, rather than protecting the total hair strand.
The short-term fixes no longer appeal the consumer. This increases the demand for hair-care solutions tremendously.
