Natural hair colour within European populations is a complex genetic trait. Previous work has established that MC1R variants are the principal genetic cause of red hair colour, but with variable penetrance. Here, we have extensively mapped the genes responsible for hair colour in the white, British ancestry, participants in UK Biobank. MC1R only explains 73% of the SNP heritability for red hair in UK Biobank, and in fact most individuals with two MC1R variants have blonde or light brown hair. We identify other genes contributing to red hair, the combined effect of which accounts for ~90% of the SNP heritability. Blonde hair is associated with over 200 genetic variants and we find a continuum from black through dark and light brown to blonde and account for 73% of the SNP heritability of blonde hair. Many of the associated genes are involved in hair growth or texture, emphasising the cellular connections between keratinocytes and melanocytes in the determination of hair colour. These data contain GWAS summary statistics for hair colour of unrelated white British using UK Biobank data: GWAS red hair; GWAS blonde hair; GWAS brown hair.

The Hairdressing and Beauty Treatment industry is undergoing a period of rapid transformation. Social media has reshaped demand, with Brits becoming more aware of their appearance than ever before. The industry is heavily fragmented, with most salons independently owned and focused on catering to regular customers. Revenue is poised to grow at a compound annual rate of 9.5% in the five years through 2025-26 to reach £5.7 billion, including a forecast hike of 0.2% in 2025-26. Much of this growth owes to an explosion in demand post-pandemic, when bookings went through the roof as built-up demand popped. Visits to salons have remained strong ever since, buoyed by Brits taking greater care in their appearance as social media trends reshape beauty routines. Despite cost-of-living pressures, with data from the office for National Statistics showing that six in 10 adults cut back on non-essentials in 2024, salon demand has proved resilient. Barclays data shows that beauty spending outpaced many competing categories in 2024, growing by 7.1%, as consumers increasingly view beauty as an essential. At the same time, the rise of DIY alternatives, fuelled by online tutorials and a desire to save money, has chipped away at sales, prompting salons to double down on memberships, loyalty deals and added features to maintain their appeal. Profit has come under strain from rampant wage costs and nagging inflation, but is poised to inch up to 4.3% of revenue in 2025-26 as salons push through price rises. Over the five years through 2030-31, revenue is anticipated to rise at a compound annual rate of 2.7% to reach £6.5 billion. The male market will be a key driver of this growth – men are expanding their grooming routines, creating new revenue opportunities. At the same time, more clients are expected to seek customised treatments, prompting salons to adopt advanced technologies and training to capitalise on a potential growth avenue. Hair and beauty salons will likely expand their product offerings to include more cruelty-free and environmentally friendly products while also investing more in tech, like AI tools, to enhance their competitiveness.
