A COVID-19 survivor experiences this type of acute hair loss due to the body's weakness from the illness. Also, the pandemic gave rise to stress-induced hair loss due to the uncertainty of the situation. This factor could pave the way for anti-hair loss or hair-thickening products during the forecast period. Post-COVID, work stress, frequent change in hair styling, and excessive use of chemicals on hair are also causing hair damage. Thus, in 2021, virtue Labs launched Flourish female-focused hair loss lines.
The US haircare market witnessed several changes in the past decade, with the emergence of various hairstyling, hair regrowth, and hair colorant products. The shampoo segment is expected to maintain its dominance in the market, while the hair colorant and conditioner segments may witness rapid adoption rates over the forecast period.

The fashion-conscious youth is constantly aware of various hair care offerings, such as hair styling and colorant products, to express their individuality. Thus, such consumer habits are driving the market.
Products such as treatment oils for hair loss protection, imparting shine, and decreasing frizz are available in dropper packaging for proper dosing and precise application. Companies have also started offering travel-size packaging, such as sachets, deluxe samples, and mini bottles, for convenience and portability, which are acting as driving factors for the market studied. In response to the rising expenditure on hair care products, the players operating in the market are implementing various strategies, like product innovations, expansions, and promotional investments, to gain market share. For instance, in September 2022, Epres launched a new product, Olaplex, for bond repair for heat-damaged hair.
The demand for herbal shampoos is growing at a more excellent pace than cosmetic shampoos, dry shampoos, and anti-dandruff shampoos. Natural ingredients and botanicals for hair care products are performing well in the United States, thus boosting the herbal shampoo market. Product innovations, the emerging men's grooming sector, and increasing demand for organic shampoos are likely to drive the shampoo market during the forecast period.
