Healthy looking hair has been important for consumers, both male and female, for centuries. And with an impressive range of shampoos, conditioners, serums, gels, hair colorants and sprays available, the global hair care market is expected to experience an ongoing period of rapid growth.
Shampoos, Conditioners, Dyes, Waxes and Gels
Although dominated by female consumers, the rise of the metrosexual has created opportunities for market players to increase their men’s hair care product ranges. In addition, the globally ageing population means that lustrous and well-groomed hair is playing a more central role in maintaining a style-conscious and youthful appearance. Designed to nourish hair and prevent it from damage (from pollution, the sun and other factors), thousands or products are available — containing both natural and synthetic ingredients — that are formulated to clean, condition, moisturize and protect. Advances in technology are driving the development of products for a variety of different end-users and hair types, making hair care and styling products even more more effective and beneficial.
