We Asked Our Beauty Squad: Your Hair's SOS
We all want healthy, vibrant hair. From glossy magazine ads to influencer posts, the promise of perfect locks is everywhere. But with countless products lining the shelves—from drug-friendly options to pricey salon treatments—it can be tough to know what actually works. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, and for many of us, the products we try just don't live up to the hype.
We surveyed our Beauty Buddy Squad to get to the root of the problem and learn more about your hair's biggest challenges. Here's what we found.
What's Damaging Your Hair?
Before you can fix the problem, you need to know what's causing it. You might be surprised to find out just how many things can take a toll on your tresses:
Heat Damage: From blow-dryers to curling irons and straighteners, your favorite styling tools can leave your hair brittle and dry.
Color-Treated Woes: Bleaching and dyeing can strip your hair of its natural oils and leave it feeling fragile and dull.
Environmental Stress: Sun exposure, pollution, and even hard water can cause serious damage over time.
Internal Factors: Your hair health is also affected by what’s going on inside your body, including stress, hormonal changes, and diet.
What We Learned About Your Hair Journey
We asked our community about their biggest hair challenges, and their answers gave us a clear picture of what's really going on:
Common Hair Concerns: We found that most people are struggling with dryness, frizz, and general damage, with hair loss also being a top concern.
Hair Washing Habits: How often you wash your hair and the products you use play a huge role in your hair's overall health.
Product Preferences: We looked at the products you're using to figure out what's working and what's not, to help you find better options.
Repair Product Usage: We asked which repair products you rely on, how often you use them, and if you think they're actually effective.
Professional Treatments: We learned about how often you visit a salon and what treatments you get to see how professional care fits into your routine.
Scalp Health: We also delved into scalp concerns to understand if underlying issues might be affecting your hair's health.
The results are clear: A staggering 89% of our community reported having at least one hair concern. This shows just how common hair struggles are and why it's so important to find real solutions that truly work.
Your Hair Condition: What's Really Going On
It's clear that most of us are facing at least one hair challenge. In our survey, a huge majority—89% of people—said they had at least one hair concern. The most common issues? Frizzy hair (66%), dry hair (64%), and damaged hair (60%).
This isn't surprising. So many things in our daily lives, from how we style our hair to what we eat, can affect its health. In contrast, only 11% of those we surveyed described their hair as "normal." This shows that almost everyone is on a journey to find the right solutions for their hair's specific needs.
Beyond the big three—frizz, dryness, and damage—many also mentioned thinning hair (39%) and oily hair (23%), highlighting the wide range of issues people face.
Your Hair Care Essentials
What products are you actually using to take care of your hair? We wanted to see what's in your shower caddy and on your vanity. The results were clear: Shampoo (99%) and conditioner (96%) are the non-negotiables in almost everyone's routine.
But beyond the basics, we found that many of you are turning to more targeted treatments:
Hair masks are a popular choice, used by 73% of our community to add extra moisture and repair.
Leave-in conditioners are a go-to for 70% of you, helping to detangle, smooth, and protect your hair throughout the day.
With heat styling being a major concern, it's no surprise that heat protectants are used by 68% of people.
And to add shine and fight frizz, hair oils are a staple for 67% of you.
Your Go-To Hair Repair Solutions
When hair needs a rescue, what do you reach for? Our survey revealed that moisture is a top priority, with 78% of people using hydrating treatments and 75% using deep conditioners. To prevent further damage, 65% use split end repair products and 55% rely on anti-breakage treatments. For more intensive care, 42% use bonding treatments, and 36% use protein treatments.
