The rising popularity of vibrant and unconventional hair colors is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. Consumers are more willing to experiment with hair color, moving away from standard colors and toward bold and brilliant hues. The rise of social media platforms such as Instagram has also influenced the trend toward unusual hair colors. People are more exposed to imaginative and colorful hairstyles and are motivated to try them out. This has resulted in a trend toward personalized beauty, with customers seeking products and services tailored to their unique needs and preferences.
However, to suit evolving consumer preferences, manufacturers are reacting by offering more hair color options, including various colorful and unique colors. Thus, the rising popularity of vibrant and unconventional hair colors is expected to drive the growth of the hair color market during the forecast period.
Allergic reactions and other harmful effects of hair color products is a significant challenges hindering market growth. Hair colors are part of hair care products of the personal care products segment. However, several hair colors available in the market can induce allergies affecting the skin and hair. These can also lead to harmful diseases such as cancer and skin disorders. The primary perpetrator of allergies is a substance called paraphenylenediamine (PPD). The most common symptoms of these allergies include an itchy scalp, redness and swelling of the scalp, swelling around the eyes and eyelids, and scaly skin around the eyes, nose, and face.
Additioally, PPD has been proven to cause damage to human DNA cells, which leads to cancer. Resorcinol, another chemical present in hair colors, is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that can lead to breast cancer by disrupting the natural balance of hormones. Thus, such allergies and severe diseases are major hindrances to the growth of the global hair color market. These allergies and other ill effects of using hair color lower the volume of sales of the market, which, in turn, hinders the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The permanent segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The permanent hair coloring process is also known as oxidation, as this process mixes an oxidizer like hydrogen peroxide and ammonia with the coloring agent before application. It does not have to be applied as often as semi-permanent or temporary hair colors. The composition and formulation of permanent color products are complex, as the chemical composition of this process is critical. Therefore, manufacturers put considerable effort into achieving a long-lasting color that minimizes damage to the strength and elasticity of hair.
The permanent segment was the largest and was valued at USD 15.85 billion in 2018. Furthermore, many millennials who prefer not to color their hair frequently are procuring permanent hair colors that are fade-resistant. Fade-resistant permanent hair colors reduce the need to recolor or the use of color toners on the hair when frequently exposed to the environment. Many global vendors offer permanent hair colors that are fade-resistant and require minimal color maintenance. For instance, under Wella Professionals, Coty Inc. offers Wella Color Charm Permanent Liquid Color, a fade-resistant and long-lasting hair color solution. This product is made with liquid technology, which saturates, penetrates, and fuses with the hair to deliver vibrant colors. Such application-based hair colors available in the global market are expected to drive the growth of the permanent hair color segment, which, in turn, boosts the growth of the hair color market during the forecast period.
As semi-permanent hair color comprises coloring agents that color hair for a short duration, the frequency of usage is higher than its permanent counterpart. However, various companies in the global market are offering semi-permanent hair colors that allow the customization of color shades and keep the hair healthy. For instance, under the brand Joico, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA offers the Joico Vero K-PAK Color Intensity Semi-Permanent Hair Color, which is available in a wide range of shades that can be mixed to customize hair colors as per the consumer's choices. Such types of semi-permanent hair colors are popular among consumers from the fashion industry who need to change their hair frequently as per the occasion, which also influences many individual consumers to apply semi-permanent colors that do not last longer but only during a stipulated time. Therefore, the factors mentioned above are expected to drive the growth of the semi-permanent market segment during the forecast period.
