The interest of today’s consumers in natural and food-based ingredients is rising. Inspiration from food provides a comfort zone, as consumers believe such ingredients are safer. This is why hair care brands should look more intensively to food trends for inspiration and should make easily-understood claims.

One area on which brands should concentrate is natural food ingredients that are rich in antioxidants. These can be positioned to help protect hair and allay pollution damage concerns. The trending food ingredient turmeric has a number of scalp and hair benefits, such as cleansing the scalp or hair of toxins and pollution-induced build-up. It also has antibiotic properties, which make it a good natural exfoliator. 

Elsewhere, brands could consider apple cider vinegar, a current diet trend hero.
