L'Oreal sales disappoint on slowdown in Europe, North Asia
[LONDON] L'Oreal's sales missed expectations in the second quarter as the French beauty-products company faced weaker demand in North Asia and a slowdown in Europe, its biggest market. Like-for-like sales rose 2.4 per cent, the maker of shampoo and cosmetics brands such as Garnier and Lancome said on Tuesday (Jul 29). Analysts had expected a 2.7 per cent gain. European sales rose 2.4 per cent, well below the 4.2 per cent analyst consensus. L'Oreal, along with the rest of the beauty industry, has been grappling with consumer uncertainty as US President Donald Trump imposes his tariff agenda, triggering fears of a hit to global economic growth. The sector is also facing slowing demand for skincare and makeup in Europe, particularly in France, David Hayes, equity analyst at Jefferies, said in a note last month. L'Oreal's American depositary receipts traded 1.6 per cent lower after the company's update. Shares of L'Oreal have rallied 9.3 per cent this year, though they are still almost 5 per cent lower than 12 months ago. North America sales rose 8.3 per cent, well above the consensus 4 per cent among analysts, with L'Oreal citing demand for haircare products including Kérastase shampoo. Market conditions showed 'clear signs of improvement', the company said. Meanwhile, China returned to growth in the second quarter, according to L'Oreal, though like-for-like sales in North Asia, which includes the mainland, fell 8.8 per cent, exceeding the 6 per cent drop analysts expected. L'Oreal has been contending with a sharp spending decline in China, where confidence has been hit by stagnant wage growth and high youth unemployment. Comparable sales in L'Oreal's dermatological beauty unit, which has been a driver of growth and includes labels such as CeraVe and La Roche-Posay, rose 3.5 per cent, below analyst estimates.

I turned my hair from thin to thick in seconds with a £3.40 hack hairdressers swear by, it adds volume & shine too
Plus, a hair professional reveals how to repair damaged locks HAIR WE GO I turned my hair from thin to thick in seconds with a £3.40 hack hairdressers swear by, it adds volume & shine too Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANY people wish their hair was thicker and more luscious. Thankfully you may only need a £3.40 product, according to a hairdresser. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Julia joked that she had just 'five hairs' and wanted thicker locks Credit: tiktok/@justliia4 3 She showed how one simple L'Oreal product made her hair luscious after drying Credit: tiktok/@justliia4 One beauty lover joked that she was fed up with having 'five hairs' but managed to transform her locks using the hair hack. Julia, who posts under @justliia4, wrote: 'How I turned my 5 hairs into 100,000. 'I got the trick from my hairdresser.' The only thing you need to get, according to Julia is L'Oreal's Elvive Styliste Mousse, which is said to 'boosts your hair volume by lifting from the root.' You can currently pick up a bottle from Tesco for a 150ml size. Julia shared how she starts with damp, clean hair and then shakes the bottle well. She then squeezes some of the mousse into her hands and then applies it to her locks. The social media user advised: 'Distribute it upwards into your hair (more at the roots). You then need to blow dry your hair as normal - and she advised doing it upside down for extra volume. In the clip, which has racked up over 300 likes, she showed how she uses a rounded brush to create extra volume and shape at the front. Pregnant Georgia Harrison reveals her glam new look ahead of Ibiza trip When she was finished, her hair looked bouncy, shiny and much thicker than the start. Many people were impressed with the results, with one saying: 'It looks great.' According to the product description, thin hair needs to be 'texturized from root to tip and requires long lasting hold.' The results are said to last up to 48 hours with its 'strong fixing power.' 3 Julia sweared by using L'Oreal's Elvive Styliste Mousse Credit: Elvive HAIR LOSS REASONS Jack Merrick-Thirlway, creative director at Neville Hair & Beauty, said hereditary hair loss is the most common type of hair loss and is transmitted through your genes. This type of hair loss can start from teen years and although will be difficult to treat, it can be slowed down if treated immediately. Hormonal imbalances may also cause you to lose hair. Pregnancy and the menopause are two key times when hormonal imbalances can occur, leading to changes in hair thickness. However, chronic stress and certain medications can also contribute to these imbalances. Another hair saboteur is excessive friction. Jacks says those who are wearing a tight ponytail repeatedly may find themselves experiencing hair loss. Finally, using the wrong products or having too many chemical treatments can lead to hair loss. HAIR GROWTH TIPS So, how can we encourage our hair to grow? Jack says that when shopping for new products to help with hair thickness, there are few ingredients to look out for. 'I'd advise looking out for ingredients such as biotin, collagen, amino acids and products containing vitamin B3. These all help strengthen the hair follicles and promote growth. 'That said, if you feel out of your depth, you can also seek advice with your hair stylist.' Be wary of too many chemicals in your styling products as they can exacerbate hair loss - and you should also not wash it too often. 'To ensure your hair stays healthy it is important not to over wash it,' advises Jack. 'Instead try and limit washing your hair to two or three times a week. "Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner to make sure you do not remove any moisture.'
