Inclusive Hair
Brands are pushing back against beauty standards with haircare campaigns
Trend - Beauty brands are encouraging self-expression through diverse hairstyles in new marketing campaigns. With a primary focus on textured hair, these campaigns challenge beauty standards and champion cultural roots and individuality. These campaigns leverage authenticity to capture new audiences.

Insight - Beauty brands often struggle with expansion beyond their established target audiences, with many only being popular among certain demographics or regions. However, despite offering products catering to diverse audiences, brand engagement does not always expand quickly, leading to these brands seeking partnerships with agencies or adjacent companies to launch campaigns. By targeting and authentically connecting with the target demographic, these brands can gain the trust of new consumers.
Workshop Question - How could your brand expand its market presence by fostering a positive connection with its audience through transparency?
