Description

The hair tools market in India is largely unorganised. However, it is slowly showing signs of life with local players getting active and working towards streamlining their processes. Several international brands are showing a warm interest in the hair care industry, while a few have already established a veritable presence. Even our homegrown players are realising the potential of hair tools like brushes, combs and scissors and are enthusiastically adding them to their product portfolios.

On this premise, our article on the trade dynamics of hair brushes has been framed. We spoke to leading brands and distributors in the business, who have shared their challenges and opportunities available with our readers. Brands like Wahl India, Ikonic and distributors, such as PID Imports, who introduced the UK-based Tangle Teezer to India, have given reasons to rejoice to our set of salon owners and stylists
