“Last year the majority of sales were still realised by drugstores. Demand for practical hair dyes that are easy to use and apply has remained high, and consumers are willing to pay more for a hair dye that comes with an applicator in the packaging”,
informs Luca Varga.
Hair colours are mainly chosen by younger consumers, who are keen to experiment. The ammonia-free hair dye segment currently accounts for about one fifth of sales in the drugstore channel, but it is growing dynamically. Examples include Excellence’s ammonia-free line, Excellence Nudes or Garnier’s Olia ammonia-free hair dyes, which contain 5 natural oils.
Only naturally!
Natural cosmetics are also gaining ground in the hair care category, where consumer awareness is becoming more widespread.
