84 percent of respondents think it’s important to be able to customize their hair care products. 98 percent feel it’s important that their hair care products be paraben free, sulfate free and safe for chemically treated hair.
“Customization is a strong trend in hair care, especially among women of color,” says Dana Hill, Founder and CEO, COCOTIQUE. “Women of color have a wide range of textures and it’s difficult to determine which product works best for a particular texture. It’s important for companies to embrace and celebrate this uniqueness. Companies like HairRx, that offer options for customers to find products for their specific hair types and concerns, will win in the marketplace.”
