We’re looking to explore the future of haircare in this Mindsumo challenge. What will the haircare experience look like by the year 2030? What haircare solutions will you want to use in years to come?
With technology evolving all around us, it’s safe to assume the products and services we know today will be very different by the year 2030. Advances such as Artificial Intelligence, 5G, Internet of Things sensors, and Artificial Reality/Virtual Reality are just a few technologies changing life as we know it.
If you are interested to design for Gen-Z consumers, we want to hear your breakthrough ideas! We want you to consider the entire category of haircare. Brainstorm around the product itself, the application of the product, the way a customer will interact with the product in order to purchase and so on… Are there smart devices or applications you envision? Data mechanics? Other technological solutions that will reinvent the haircare experience?
Tell us about your breakthrough idea for the future of haircare in 2030 for Gen-Z. Specifically, address either/all the following:
How would you revolutionize the haircare experience from cleaning/styling today to new experiences/benefits (e.g. mood-lifting/self expressing/sensorial/social)?
How do you re-imagine the role of haircare in daily life? What do haircare routines look like in 2030?
How will consumers express their unique identities across virtual and physical worlds with their hair?
What role will technology play in your haircare solution? Will there be new services/system? Smart devices? Data mechanics? AR/VR? AI?
