Title:	Engaging hairdressers in pro-environmental behaviours
Keywords:	HAIRDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS 2014
Description:	The proposed study explores the efficacy of an innovative bottom-up social marketing approach to encourage pro-environmental behaviour, using hairdressers as 'catalytic individuals' to diffuse knowledge relating to responsible chemical, energy and water use across their social networks. Hairdressers use a lot of energy, water and chemicals, but preliminary research (Baden, 2010) indicated that, despite the increased concerns and public pronouncements on the importance of sustainability, little awareness has filtered into the hairdressing sector. This lack of attention to environmental issues by hairdressers then constitutes a social norm that is antagonistic to sustainability awareness, especially hair-washing, drying and colouring, which are activities that are also carried out at home. Thus the study aims to engage hairdressers, both in developing their own sustainability practices, and as 'catalytic individuals' to diffuse practices and ideas relating to responsible chemical, energy and water use across their social networks.<p>The proposed study explores the efficacy of an innovative bottom-up social marketing approach to encourage pro-environmental behaviour, using hairdressers as ‘catalytic individuals’ to diffuse knowledge relating to responsible chemical, energy and water use across their social networks.
