    Introduction

    Around the world, creating long-lasting volume is one of the most frequent reasons for styling hair. A thick, full head of hair is a sign of health and beauty. It can be used to help accent your best facial features and camouflage your worst. In fact, nearly 50% of women in North America and Europe alone are trying to create more volume and thickness when styling their hair1. In this report, you will learn the science behind voluminous hair and what you can do to make it last all day long, even if nature did not give it to you.

    What is Long-Lasting Volume?

    Specifically, consumers who are styling their hair for volume tell us they are looking for:2

  • Hair that has body and fullness (88%)
  • Hair that holds its "shape" (74%)
  • Hair that maintains its volume over time (68%)
  • Hair that has height and lift away from head (68%)
  • Hair that stays away from face (55%)

    When consumers have volume style failure, they typically see:3
  • Hairstyle loses its shape (70%)
  • Hair lays flat against the head (64%)
  • Hair is limp and has no bounce (63%)
  • Hair falls into face (45%)
