Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

Sales of hair care products in the UK are big business, worth about 拢1 billion a year. But the retail analysts Mintel and Nielsen have both been reporting a recent tiny but steady fall in sales year on year. It鈥檚 an annual fall of around 拢15 million. Market researchers say it鈥檚 because of the anti-shampoo movement 鈥� no poo. No poo encourages people to stop using hair care products like shampoo and conditioner and switch to natural treatments instead. There鈥檚 loads about it all online. Vishva Samani has been to meet one of the leading no poo bloggers, Lucy AitkenRead. First broadcast on You & Yours, 24 July 2017.
