Guess What’s Flying off Shelves Now: Hair Dye & Nail Polish Remover

When we first heard about the coronavirus, people started stocking up on hand sanitizer and toilet paper.  A new week brings new restrictions.  Now that hair salons are closed, we have a new in-demand item…  It’s hair coloring.

Nielsen has released a list of most in-demand products.  Under health and safety products, the most in-demand items are thermometers, aerosol disinfectants and water filtration.  Under dry foods the top items are baking yeast, dried beans and tuna.  Under beauty and personal care the top items are toothpaste, shampoo, nail polish remover and hair coloring.
