The multi-billion dollar hair care industry can be considered the champagne supernova of personal care, creating and absorbing trends, new products and consumer interest, but without constant innovation it can become a black hole of sluggish sales and lack of category excitement.

Hair care marketers tread and blur the line between the functional and the fantastic, producing multi-benefit products from botanical to big hair, for multiple consumers, from African American to metrosexual. Individual efforts vary dramatically by category but innovative marketers, suppliers and retailers are currently pumping new life into the category.

This new Packaged Facts report, The U.S. Market for Hair Care Products, includes industry data on market size, share, segments and strategies; profiles of major players and competitive landscape; retail and distribution channels; advertising and promotion; innovations, trends and forecasting; and consumer demographics and psychographics. Products covered include shampoos, conditioners, stylers, hair dyes/coloring and accessories.
