Dry Shampoos continue to crash the daily shampoo-and-repeat party. Dry shampoos’ slow rise to fame is attributed to an adjustment in their marketing message. Starting in 2006, dry shampoos focused on ease of use and UV protection. Now they are positioned as time savers, styling aids and tout free-from claims.
Don’t expect this rise to fame to slow down anytime soon. As the world continues to deal with water scarcity, dry shampoos address this global concern.

However, as we adapt to an ever-changing world, companies must be able to offer products that confront future water strains while maintaining a level of efficacy consumers demand. Dry shampoos will sustain their growth not only because of global issues but due to the growing number of people who use them. 52% of US consumers think dry shampoo is a great on-the-go application, while 49% believe it saves time, and 44% feel it allows them to use traditional shampoo less frequently(2).
Also, dry shampoos are perfectly positioned to go after the growing ethnic hair care market.

Consumers with ethnic hair greatly benefit from dry shampoos that offer refreshing claims, allowing them to save time while perfuming and styling their hair(3). Our ethnic hair care post identifies the potential and growing buying power of this consumer base.
