Plus: TikTok wellness spike sets stage for ingestible haircare upsell

Untangled

This week, here’s what’s happening in the world of hair marketing:
- Fall’s mocha-to-cherry color wave drops with 3.2M virtual tests
- BondiBoost’s daily growth drops chase subscription stickiness
- TikTok wellness spike sets stage for ingestible haircare upsell

🌟 Editor’s Pick - Incrementality Over Instincts

Stop Chasing Conversions - Start Measuring Real Growth
The path to measurement maturity isn’t about tracking every conversion - it’s about understanding what’s truly incremental.

That’s the focus of Fospha’s new Meta whitepaper, created in partnership with six leading eCommerce brands. The findings reveal what happens when marketers move beyond Last Click - and start building systems that reflect how growth actually happens.

Highlights include:

  • Why Last Click dramatically undervalues upper-funnel marketing

  • Predictive modeling uncovering up to 80% more revenue potential in Meta

  • How brands found the confidence to reallocate budget and scale new channels

  • How combining incrementality testing with always-on measurement completes the measurement puzzle - delivering a holistic, reliable view of marketing impact

As Andy King, Head of Performance Marketing at NBrown, put it:

“It was really insightful to see how much Meta’s impact was being underestimated by Last Click. Fospha’s data gave us a clearer picture of its true value, in the context of our other channels, highlighting opportunities we hadn’t fully recognized before.”
