India's Haircare Creator Economy
Hair is one of India's most personal and culturally significant grooming categories. The post-2020 hair health awareness wave — driven by pandemic-related hair loss anxiety — created a creator niche around hair care that shows no signs of slowing. India's haircare market is ₹30,000+ Cr and growing at 9% annually.
