    Generic top-level domainsIDNDNSSEC

    Overview

    .hair is a proposed generic top-level domain (gTLD) submitted under ICANN's New gTLD Program. The string clearly targets the hair and lifestyle market and was filed in the "Lifestyle" category.

    History

    • Status: Proposed (not implemented)
    • TLD type: Generic (gTLD)
    • Category: Lifestyle
    • Applicants and priority numbers:
      • L'Oréal (priority: 1011)
      • Your Hair Limited / E&L Management Ltd. (priority: 1461)
    • Registry and registration implementation details: not specified in the source

    Notable milestone:

    • The L'Oréal application received a GAC Early Warning issued by the representative of Australia and GAC Chair Heather Dryden. The warning indicated concern that the applicant was "seeking exclusive access to a common generic string" that relates to a broad market sector and could negatively affect competition.

    Usage and Audience

    • The TLD is intended for the hair and lifestyle sector (as indicated by the string and category).
    • Applicants include a major cosmetics company (L'Oréal) and a specialized applicant (Your Hair Limited), reflecting interest from both large brands and sector-specific entities.

    SEO and Brand Impact

    • A GAC Early Warning flagged potential competition and exclusivity concerns for the L'Oréal application, which may influence perceptions of openness and competitive access to the string for the broader industry.

    Notable Cases or Examples

    • L'Oréal: applicant whose submission triggered a GAC Early Warning citing concerns about exclusive access to a common generic string.
    • Your Hair Limited (E&L Management Ltd.): competing applicant with a separate priority number.
