Salon Trusted’s Guide on How to Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner for Your Hair Type
Tired of trying out different shampoos and conditioners, only to find out that they don’t work for your hair type? At Salon Trusted, we cover a wide variety of hair products including shampoos and conditioners for all kinds of hair types. So here is our guide on How to Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner for Your Hair Type.
Here, we’re offering an extensive guide on how to choose the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. But first, we will discuss the different types of hair and some of the common hair problems faced by everyone.
In this handy guide, we will help you find the best shampoo for all hair types including specific shampoos for hair loss. Read on for a brief guide on how to know if a particular shampoo suits your hair. Keep on reading to see how the Just My Type Trial Boxes may be the right fit for you!
There are four main natural hair types around the world. The most common of these is straight hair, the second is wavy hair, the third most common hair type is curly hair, and the fourth is kinky or coiled hair. Once you know your hair type, you can easily choose the right products to care for it. Whether you have fine, thick, curly, straight, dry, oily, or even coloured hair, there will always be a product that will suit your needs and preferences. At Salon Trusted, we focus on selling shampoos and conditioners that can help you choose the right shampoo and conditioners to take care of your specific hair type.
Some of the most common hair problems you may face are dandruff, hair loss, thinning of hair, dry hair, frizzy hair, fine hair, knots in hair, and split ends. Please note that wearing tight elastics or braids can also cause hair loss at your hairline. Other factors such as improper or poor diet, and even stress can cause temporary hair loss or affect the quality of your hair. So generally, eat well and properly. However, any of the common hair problems mentioned before can easily be fixed by using the right shampoo and conditioner for your specific hair type. A hair product tailored to your hair problem will fix your scalp, and in turn, help you grow the hair you have always dreamed of. This guide will help you choose the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type to help combat these issues.
First off, it is important to identify your scalp type before choosing a shampoo. All shampoos have different cleansing capabilities; choose one that is perfect for your scalp type.
After washing, if your scalp feels tight or dry (with or without flakes), you have a dry scalp.
After washing, if your scalp feels oily or shinier than usual, you have an oily scalp. Additionally, in an oily scalp, dandruff will appear as flakes that are clumped together.
Finally, if your scalp gets oily two to three days after shampooing instead of the day after, then you have a combination or combo scalp. This one is neither dry nor oily immediately.
The best shampoo for all hair types cleanses the scalp and hair without stripping it of its natural oils. It contains ingredients that nourish and protect the hair. Your scalp produces natural oils that keep your hair healthy and moisturised, but too much or too little of these oils can cause problems.
If you have an oily scalp, you may want to use a clarifying shampoo that removes excess oil and dirt without stripping your hair of its natural moisture.
If you have a dry scalp, you may want to use a hydrating shampoo that nourishes and soothes your scalp while adding moisture to your hair. Take a look at the Just My Type Trial Box for Dry Hair to see if these products work for you.
If you have a sensitive or damaged scalp, you may want to use a gentle shampoo free of harsh chemicals and fragrances that can irritate your skin. Browse the Just My Type Trial Box for Damaged Hair for an ideal fit.
If you have fine hair, you may want to use a shampoo that adds volume and body without weighing down your hair.
For curly hair, you may want to use a shampoo that is free of sulphate and contains moisturising ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil.
And if you have colour-treated hair, you may want to use a shampoo that is free of sulphate and contains UV filters to protect your colour from fading. Try out the Just My Type Trial Box for Coloured Hair for your hair.
If you’re experiencing hair loss or thinning hair, look for shampoos that contain ingredients that stimulate hair growth. It is also important to avoid shampoos that contain harsh chemicals like sulphates or parabens that can damage your hair. Also, choose a shampoo that contains natural active ingredients such as biotin, caffeine, green tea, and saw palmetto. These ingredients have been shown to help reduce thinning hair and hair loss.
At Salon Trusted, you can buy the following products that can help you with hair loss:
It is ideal for natural hair light thinning. The cleanser will deeply cleanse your scalp, the scalp revitaliser will rejuvenate your scalp, and the scalp treatment will help you easily style your hair.

The Benefits of Using Professional Products vs Using High Street Products
If you love your hair, you probably spend a lot of time and money on it?
Great hair and good hair days can clearly make a huge difference in how you feel about yourself so we are prepared to part with our cash to get more of those good hair days. It’s a great confidence booster afterall.
Here at Salon Trusted we want to help answer the commonly asked questions ‘am I using the right products for my hair?, ‘am I getting the best value hair products for my money?’
You may be tempted to save a few pounds by buying budget hair products from the high street, thinking that they are all the same. But, in reality, there is a huge difference between high street products and professional hair products. Let’s explore how using professional hair products can benefit you and your hair compared to using high street hair products, and we will look to explain why it is worth investing in salon-quality hair care to get the best results.
The value behind using professional hair products is the special science and attention provided to the carefully chosen ingredients. These are products designed by experts who know how different ingredients affect the different types of hair. These high-quality ingredients are chosen and fused together to cater to all kinds of different hair and hair needs. These are tested rigorously and quality assured to give consistent and excellent results with each use.
On the other hand, high street hair products in the UK are often mass-produced with synthetic and cheap ingredients. These can significantly damage your hair in the long run. And since these high street products are a one-size-fits-all solution, they may not be ideal for two people with different hair types. Sometimes, these products also contain harmful chemicals such as parabens, silicones, and sulphates. These chemicals can strip away your natural oils leaving your hair dry, prone to breaking, and can often leave coloured hair look faded. This also means that in order to get the same result every time, you may have to use more product with each use.
Professional hair products from us at Salon Trusted may seem expensive at first, but they work better and last longer than their high street counterparts. You usually need a small amount of these better quality products to get great results. Sometimes, you may not have to wash your hair as often either. Additionally, you get healthier, more manageable, and shinier hair every time. Ultimately the professional products are far more trustworthy and do tend to lead to better results trusting you are using the product suited to your hair.
Professional hair care products are formulated specifically for a purpose. They are more durable in protecting your hair from any kind of factor that may damage or harm your hair. For example, if your hair is colour-treated, a high street hair product may not be effective in washing and preserving the colour of your hair. Whereas, a professional product will contain ingredients that help in protecting your hair from things like heat styling, UV rays, chlorine, and pollution. Apart from protection, these will also hydrate and nourish your hair and prevent it from being dull or faded.
You will clearly see that some high street colour care products may claim to do all of this too but they often fail to deliver the desired result. They contain harsh detergents that can easily wash away your colour treatment quickly. Sometimes, they do not even contain any beneficial nutrients to keep your hair nutrient-rich and moisturised. Professional products will keep your hair vibrant, rich and beautiful.
In terms of performance, professional hair products outshine their high street counterparts. These professional salon-grade products are guaranteed to deliver results because they contain high-grade ingredients catered to and customised to your specific hair type and need. In contrast, high street products are a gamble as you may never get the result you desired.
Professional hair products are designed to address specific hair concerns and goals, such as curl definition, frizz control, volume control, shine enhancement, and much more. Their advanced formulas work well with your hair’s natural texture and structure to the best possible outcome. In contrast, high street hair products are generic and expected to work the same promised magic on any type of hair and desired style. Not only do high street products perform poorly, but they may also result in unwanted build ups or residue. These will make your hair look dull or greasy.
After understanding why professional hair products are better than high street ones, the next step is to find trusted places to buy these. The answer is very simple; buy them from your local salon. You will end up getting high-quality professional products that suit your hair type and needs. You will also be greatly supporting your local salon through possible affiliate programs. The talented stylists will also offer precise and professional advice on how to use these products and work their magic on your hair.
Get personalised service, professional advice, a friendly atmosphere, and the best professional products money can buy. Support your local salon and be an active part of the community. Show appreciation for the craft of your local stylists, and help them by buying professional products they can easily guide you on. It’s a win-win situation for everyone. At the end of it, you come out investing wisely and flaunting great healthy hair every time!

Why Are Natural Beauty Products Important?
We’re sure that as a beauty lover, your collection includes beauty products you use daily to moisturise, cleanse, and style your hair and skin. Do you know what those products contain? Do you know how some of those products can affect your health and environment? In this Salon Trusted blog, you will learn which harmful ingredients to look for in beauty products. We’ll help you understand how to choose natural and organic beauty products and list how beneficial they are for you. We will also give some of our recommendations for natural and organic, and sulphate-free beauty products available on Salon Trusted.
Over the years, a huge number of conventional beauty products have been identified with traces of harmful ingredients. These can have adverse effects on your health as well as the planet.
Here are a few of them:
These preservatives prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in cosmetics. But they disrupt your hormonal balance. These have also been linked to reproductive issues and breast cancer.
These plasticisers turn products durable and flexible. But they leach onto the body and interfere with your endocrine system, negatively impacting your hormonal balance. These have also been linked to obesity, diabetes, birth defects, and infertility.
These artificial scents mask other ingredients to add a pleasant aroma to products. But they may contain numerous chemicals that may trigger asthma, headaches, allergies, nausea, and hormonal imbalance.
This preservative prevents microbes from growing in cosmetics. But it can release a gas which causes irritation on the skin, eyes, nose, and throat. It is also a known carcinogen.
With numerous beauty products falsifying information about being natural and organic, it is crucial to know how to choose the truly natural and organic ones. In recent years, some brands have been greenwashing their products as a marketing gimmick. So, here are a few tips to distinguish real natural and organic beauty products from fake ones:
Certifications are third-party seals of approval that verify that a product meets certain standards of quality, safety, purity, sustainability, or ethics. Some of the most common certifications for natural and organic beauty products are:
The ingredients list is the best way to know what’s actually in a product. It shows the ingredients in descending order of concentration, from highest to lowest. Look for harmful ingredients mentioned earlier. Natural and organic products usually contain natural and organic ingredients. These include shea butter, coconut oil, aloe vera, glycerin, tea tree oil, witch hazel, clay, or apple cider vinegar. Some natural ingredients may be listed by their scientific names, for example, baking soda may be listed as sodium bicarbonate. So, don’t shy from researching all the ingredients online on resources such as INCIDecoder and EWG’s Skin Deep Database. Bookmark these pages for the future!
Simply, natural and organic beauty products are made using ingredients that come from natural sources such as plants, animals, or minerals. They are free of additives and synthetic chemicals that may harm your health or the planet.
Here are a few benefits of using natural and organic beauty products:
Here are a few brands on Salon Trusted that have products free from alcohol, sulphate and paraben, and may also be gluten-free and cruelty-free:
Using natural and organic beauty products is always great and beneficial for your health and our planet. By actively and decisively choosing these products over conventional beauty products, all of us can positively impact humanity and the earth. So next time, make an informed decision and shop for natural and organic beauty products. Consider going natural!
