“As we get older, there are biological changes that being to happen to our hair,” says Michelle Chavez, vice president of innovation, Accupac/Cobalt Labs. “The scalp gets dehydrated faster, oil glands slow down sebum production and the skin has trouble holding on to moisture, leading to thinner, flatter skin on the scalp. Simultaneously, the length of the hair growth cycle gets shorter, and the follicle diameter gets smaller, resulting in hair thinning and loss.”

Consumers’ Top Hair Care Concerns Point to Brands’ Next Innovation Opportunities

Emerging claims associated with hormonal shifts, aging, styling stressors and more point to growth ahead for hair health brands.

“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.”
