- The majority of women use hair appliances, but frequency of use is relatively low and purchase cycles are quite long. How can hair appliances become a more integral part of women’s haircare routine?
- One barrier to interest/usage of beauty devices is confusion about how to use these products and the benefits of using them. What measures can the industry take to minimize confusion and increase consumer interest and involvement in the category?
