“We’ve observed a shift in consumer behavior, where hair care practices are increasingly mimicking skin care routines,” says Pascal Yvon, PharmD, MBA, general manager Americas, Sharon Personal Care, USA. “The consumers recognize that hair, like skin, shows signs of natural aging. This phenomenon is exacerbated by various environmental and chemical stressors including color treatment, bleaching, heat styling, ultraviolet (UV) radiation and pollution. These factors collectively contribute to the degradation of hair fibers, resulting in increased dryness, brittleness, and susceptibility to breakage and split ends.”
