China Hair Care Market Overview, 2028

Hair care has been an important aspect of personal grooming in China for thousands of years, with a rich history of traditional methods and ingredients used to promote healthy hair. One of the earliest hair care practises in China was the use of natural oils, such as camellia and sesame oil, to moisturise and protect hair. The early era was known for its elaborate hairstyles, which were achieved using a variety of styling techniques and tools. During this time, hair care also became more sophisticated with the introduction of herbal remedies and special shampoos made from natural ingredients. Hair care continued to evolve with the use of herbs and other natural ingredients to address specific hair concerns, such as hair loss and dandruff. One popular ingredient was ginseng, which was believed to stimulate hair growth and improve circulation in the scalp. Today, modern hair care practises in China are influenced by both traditional methods and Western-style hair care products. Many people still use natural ingredients and traditional remedies to promote healthy hair while also incorporating modern products and techniques for styling and maintenance. Due to its large millennial population, increased migration to cities, and rising participation of women in the workforce, China is the Asia-Pacific area with the highest growth.
