Hair care

Hair care or haircare is an overall term for hygiene and cosmetology involving the hair which grows from the human scalp, and to a lesser extent facial, pubic and other body hair. Hair care routines differ according to an individual's culture and the physical characteristics of one's hair. Hair may be colored, trimmed, shaved, plucked or otherwise removed with treatments such as waxing, sugaring and threading.

Hair care services are offered in salons, barbershops and day spas, and products are available commercially for home use.
Laser hair removal and electrolysis are also available, though these are provided by licensed professionals in medical offices or specialty spas.
