Black Haircare Industry Statistics

This report provides dedicated consumer research on trends across Black consumer haircare. Below are some handpicked statistics.

• Shampoo and conditioner remain consumers’ top purchase. Meanwhile, hair oil has risen in importance, as over half of consumers purchased it in the past 12 months, more so than in previous years.

Opportunity for Haircare Brands

Black consumers are more likely to agree that they are paying more attention to their hair health. While moisturizing claims are well-established in the curly/coily haircare space, there is an opportunity for other hair health claims to expand, such as damaged hair, vitamin/mineral fortified and antioxidant.
