Hair Care Spending In South Dakota: A Surprising Study

Not too long ago we told you why folks in Sioux Falls have some of worst hair in America.

Now we might have some additional insight into one of the factors that might be contributing to that low ranking.

Checking the Numbers

Hair expert Dr. Emrah Cinik looked at which U.S. states spend the most on hair, the research team analyzed the average cost of men’s haircuts and women’s salon visits in each state. The total cost was then compared with the average monthly household income to calculate the share of income spent on hair.

The results? South Dakotans spend the third least on haircuts ($22.50 on average), which is a significantly lower amount of spending on salon services relative to income.

States That Spend the Least on Haircuts

Kansas $20.45
Utah $22.34
South Dakota $22.50
Virginia $22.54
North Dakota $24.01
Rhode Island $25.20
Nebraska $27.25
Minnesota $28.17
Colorado $28.26
New Jersey $28.38

Who Spends the Most?

The findings reveal that Louisiana tops the list, with residents spending an average of $25.98 on haircuts and $46.85 on salon services, accounting for 1.50% of their income. Close behind are Kentucky (1.47%) and Arkansas (1.43%), while states like Virginia rank lowest, with residents spending just 0.90% of their income. Other notable high-spending states include Mississippi (1.42%), Massachusetts (1.40%), and West Virginia (1.40%).

Have You Ever Explored the 'War Eagle Monument' on the South Dakota/Iowa Border?
