Nail Dehydrator
At-home manicures are still a strong trend but consumers are looking to advance their nail game. Consumers are turning to nail dehydrators, in preparation for the primer, to help keep their manicures lasting longer.
On average, there are 1.7K searches for nail dehydrators, with interest growing 401.9% since last year. No brands are being searched alongside this trend.
Consumers are turning to Amazon to meet their nail dehydrating needs, demonstrating that this is still a whitespace opportunity for any brand.
Velcro Roller
Consumers are turning to velcro rollers for voluminous hair, with an average of 12.6K searches for velcro rollers in the United States every month. Interest has grown 62.2% since last year with brands like Hot Tools and Babyliss topping the searches for the products.
Keywords associated with the search include specific needs, such as rollers for fine, short, long and medium-length hair.
While there are brands among the top searches, consumers are more likely to seek out a retailer such as Amazon, Target or Walmart. This indicates that the space is still early stages, and there's opportunity for a brand to own the look.
