For seven years, Marie and Julie Pradere sought to understand why their hair was gradually disappearing. Two twin sisters faced with the same hair loss, the same questions and wandering which ended up weighing heavily on their self-confidence. Until the day the diagnosis came: androgenic alopecia. Finally a name for their symptoms, but still a lot of questions and few solutions to their liking.
Rather than resigning themselves, the two sisters decide to tackle the problem head on. In 2024, they will train in trichology and immerse themselves in research on hair active ingredients. After several months of experimentation, they developed their own routine and noticed the first regrowths. An experience that they then choose to share with other women on social networks, before giving birth to HACT, a French brand designed from their experiences.
A personal journey that echoes a problem that is much more widespread than one might believe. Like Marie and Julie, many women face hair loss during their lives. According to estimates from the specialized platform Medihair, around 85% of men and 33% of women will experience this phenomenon. And the subject also weighs heavily on the beauty market: according to the research firm Emergen Research, the global market for hair loss products represented $8.25 billion in 2021, with annual growth of 8.1% projected until 2030. A booming market, which is seeing the flourishing of food supplements, ampoules and serums promising to slow down hair loss and restore body to thinning hair.
It is precisely in this niche that HACT is positioned with its No.1 Anti-Hair Loss Serum. Through this formula, the two founders intend to offer an effective cosmetic response to hair that is thinning and losing density. We met its founders to learn more about their formula and their approach to hair loss.
