South America is well-known for its diversified climatic conditions, ranging from dry desert conditions in Northern Chile to heavy rainfalls, creating highly humid weather conditions across the Southern coast of the continent. Such climatic conditions have directly impacted the hair conditions of women across various countries, especially in Brazil. Brazilian women, as per societal norms, in past decades have been cautious about their hair conditions. However, according to the American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA), spending more time outside with the direct exposure of sun, has damaged their hair, resulting in increased weekly scalp treatments. In addition, the consumption of shampoos, hair conditioners, hair masks, and hot oil treatments to prevent hair damage has increased tremendously across Brazil in recent years. This is anticipated to propel the market growth in Brazil over the forecast period.
