Sugary Hair Sprays

This Hair Mist Adds Texture with Sugar Rather Than Sea Salt

— October 23, 2015 — Fashion
Although sea salt sprays are beloved for their ability to give hair a relaxed beachy look, this Keratin Complex hair mist swaps one favorite ingredient for another.

The 'Sweet Definition Texturizing Sugar Mist' also promises to deliver "sultry waves," but its salt-free formula won't strip hair of moisture or keratin. Sugar cane extract is the main star of this product, although there are others like sunflower seed oil, plus active ingredients in the hair spray product are sourced from the sea, such as plankton and algae.

The bottle is packaged as a bi-phase beauty product, which means that the components of the formula will naturally separate until shaken before use. Rather than combining the ingredients into a single mixture, letting them sit separately is like having twice as much power in one product.
Trend Themes
1. Salt-free Hair Products - Creating hair products without salt as an ingredient presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the beauty industry.
2. Natural Ingredients in Hair Sprays - The use of natural ingredients like sugar cane extract and sunflower seed oil in hair sprays opens up an avenue for disruptive innovation in the hair care market.
3. Bi-phase Packaging - The adoption of bi-phase packaging, where different components of a product remain separate until shaken, creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in packaging design and functionality.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Personal Care - Incorporating salt-free hair products and natural ingredients in hair sprays has the potential to disrupt the beauty and personal care industry.
2. Hair Care - The development of salt-free hair products and innovative packaging solutions in the hair spray market can drive disruptive innovation in the hair care industry.
3. Packaging Design - The adoption of bi-phase packaging in various consumer products, including hair sprays, presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the packaging design sector.
