It is very interesting to see how manufacturers are adopting advanced technology to develop smart personal care products especially in the given times when professional hairdressers and salons are physically out of reach for everyone.
In fact, hair care products witnessed significant sales growth in the United States between February and March 2020 due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Sales of hair clippers increased by approximately 363.6 percent while hair developer sales increased by around 190.6 percent. (Statista)
