Does greasy hair affect your confidence?
Greasy hair is the biggest confidence killer for women in the workplace, according to new research.
68% of women say that greasy hair is their top appearance concern ahead of a key business meeting; and of those in need of a confidence boost to strut into a meeting with conviction, 27% re-style their hair.
What is surprising though, only 9% recognise that dry shampoo can help restore their hair to its sleek and professional best – we thought all women knew about the importance of a good dry shampoo?!
Pantene Pro-V commissioned the survey to highlight the launch of the new Pantene Pro-V Dry Shampoo range which goes into stores from mid-July. The survey identified the other top workplace confidence-shakers as having bad breath, and having messy un-styled hair. The top instant confidence pep-ups used by women office workers include eating a breath-freshening mint, and re-styling hair.
Interestingly, 42% of women say that above all else, they first notice how clean or dirty another woman’s hair is when they first meet them, validating women’s self-consciousness around having unclean hair. That’s compared to only 16% of women noticing grown-out roots and 22% noticing how shiny another woman’s hair is.
If you’re yet to fall for the wonder bottle that is dry shampoo, we’ve picked out some of our favourites that you can shop now.
