Hair color, and lack thereof, has moved front and center in recent years. During the pandemic, everyone had a DIY hair color story or, they decided to embrace their grays. Gains for hair color in mass markets has slowed according to Circana. The good news is, demand for professional hair color treatments is returning to normal. In this article, Assistant Editor Lianna Albrizio reviews market trends and forecasts for this important category.

This issue of Happi includes a look at the home care category (click here). Consumers are not cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting at the levels seen during the covid-19 pandemic, but there is definitely a heightened awareness about the importance of cleaning.

Finally, the idea of wellness as moved front and center in recent years. As a result, beauty companies are entering the healthy gut space and nutrition companies are making forays into cosmetics. That crossover is the primary reason why Happi is launching Wellness: Beauty & Beyond—a new, in-person event.

To bring you the Happi Wellness: Beauty & Beyond Conference & Tabletop Exhibition, we’ve teamed with Nutraceuticals World, our sister publication, to create an outstanding lineup of speakers who will address the role of wellness as it impacts hair, skin, digestion and much more. Look inside this issue to learn more about speakers and topics.

We hope you enjoy this issue of Happi and we hope you’ll join us in November for our inaugural Wellness: Beauty & Beyond Conference & Tabletop Exhibition. For more information, visit Happi.com today!
