The DIY Hair Color Boom

  • Over 80 million Americans color their hair regularly—more than half of them at home.
  • The at-home hair color market was valued at $8.5 billion in 2024 and continues to grow.
  • TikTok and YouTube are filled with “easy” color hacks—but views don’t equal results.

The Problem

  • 72% of at-home colorers report being unhappy with the result.
  • The most common issues:
    • Brassiness
    • Banding
    • Uneven coverage
    • Hair damage and breakage
  • Most mistakes happen because people are:
    • Using the wrong tone or level
    • Layering color incorrectly
    • Applying box dye over color-treated hair

Why It Matters

  • Bad color isn’t just frustrating, it can be expensive to fix.
    • Color correction services can cost $150–$400+
    • Damaged hair can take months or years to recover
  • Your hair is your first impression. Don’t gamble with it.
