What are the most effective hair loss treatments out there? Is prevention or cure best? What kind of products claims can you make and what to avoid? These are a few of the questions our panel of speakers will be tackling during next week’s annual Hair Care Forum.

The Cosmetics Design Hair Care Forum will be aired on December 10th at 10:30am EST/ 16:30pm Paris Time, providing all the latest in hair care trends, with a specific focus on hair loss.

Hosted by Cosmetics Design senior editor Simon Pitman, the webinar will comprise five panellists who will give short presentations about their expertise in the field, followed by a round table discussion highlighting the opportunities and challenges the industry faces in this category today.

The webinar will commence with an overview of the hair care market from Oru Mohiuddin, senior beauty and personal care analyst at Euromonitor International.
