Generally hair care products are made of chemicals, fillers, additives, and synthetic ingredients, which can be harmful to hair and cause side effects on the hair or scalp. Over the years, consumers have started seeking safer products that do not contain harmful chemicals or ingredients such as parabens, silicones, sulphates, and synthetic colors that can be harmful to hair.

There have also been many instances in the past where the products were withdrawn from European markets because of the presence of high levels of chemicals. Such instances of product recalls and side effects when reported in the media attract the attention of consumers. The concern for hair health has increased the demand for natural professional hair care products. There are many companies developing hair care products from natural and organic ingredients, which are safe and effective.

For instance, Unilever Group has a natural professional hair care product line under the brand Suave, which offers a range of hair care products. To position these products containing natural ingredients with better quality and effectiveness, vendors have to promote the USP "natural or organic substances" in their marketing and promotional events. The increasing demand for natural professional hair care products from salons and end-consumers will positively influence the growth of the market.

According to the report, the Global Professional Hair Care market is driven by several factors, one such main driver being the growing number of hair-related problems experienced by consumers. The increasingly complex lifestyles of consumers have given rise to hair and scalp problems, which could be solved through the development by vendors of advanced hair care products that are used in salons or at home.

Further, the report states that the impact of economic uncertainties on the consumers and vendors in many developed countries is one of the major challenges in the market.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
