Here goes:
Why:
Deep conditioning masks restore moisture, repair damage, and improve hair elasticity. They’re especially crucial for dry, brittle hair exposed to heat styling, environmental stressors and bleached/coloured hair.
How:
Apply a hydrating mask rich in argan oil or shea butter once a week. Leave it on for 10-20 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. And for added effect, rinse it with cold water as it brings more shine to your hair.
Products:
Condition with the best hair masks & treatments at Salon Trusted.
Why:
Scalp massages boost blood circulation, promoting hair growth and healthier roots. Also, who doesn’t love their head being massaged? The scalp massages helps reduce product build up, and can contribute positively as a hair loss treatment.
How:
The best and most basic way is to use your fingertips to gently massage your scalp in circular motions. Do this for 5 minutes every day or as often as you like on a dry scalp or why not use some hair oil too! You can also use Tangle Teezer Scalp Exfoliator and Massager as a tool to aid you.
Products:
Buy a hair oil from Salon Trusted and Tangle Teezer Scalp Exfoliator and Massager at Salon Trusted.
Why:
It is evident that frequent heat styling can strip moisture which leads to heat damage which can cause dryness and breakage. Reduce heat exposure to your hair as it helps maintain your hair’s natural texture and health.
How:
Embrace heatless hairstyles like braids or buns. Also, you can never go wrong with a braid or a bun, embrace the cottage core! And if you have to use heat for styling, always apply a protectant spray to shield your strands. Take care of those locks!
Products:
Buy the best heat protectant products on Salon Trusted.
Why:
Get in a habit of getting regular trims as they prevent split ends from travelling up the hair shaft. Trims can maintain healthy lengths and reduce breakage. It will help in significantly reducing split ends.
How:
Ideally, you can schedule trims every 6 to 8 weeks. Focus on removing damaged ends without losing too much length.
Why:
Silk pillowcases reduce friction while you sleep. No one wants static shocks at every toss and turn at night. Reduced friction leads to minimal hair breakage, frizz, and tangles. The silk material is ideal for retaining moisture in your hair throughout the night.
How:
Easy! Simply swap your cotton pillowcase for a silk or satin one to keep your hair smooth overnight. As long as the silk is pure, you will experience the positive effects.
Why:
A wide-tooth comb gently detangles hair without causing breakage. It is especially effective when your hair is wet and more vulnerable.
How:
Apply a leave-in conditioner and use a wide-tooth comb to detangle from the ends upward.

Why:
Water is the key to life. Similarly, hydration is the key to healthy hair. If your hair is dehydrated, it will easily become dry and brittle. Hydrate your hair as frequently as you see the need for it.
How:
Drink plenty of water daily. Get an app that reminds you to drink water at intervals. Buy water bottles that have timers and beepers. Additionally, you can add hair supplements rich in biotin, collagen, and vitamins to give your hair an extra boost.
Why:
Protective styles greatly help in reducing the manipulation of your hair. These styles will prevent breakage and split ends. You will also have your hair shielded from environmental stress.
How:
It’s simple, go for styles like braids, twists, buns, or updos with minimal tension to avoid scalp stress. These airy and easygoing hairdos will keep your hair fluffy, and bouncy, and keep the blood circulation flowing smoothly.
Recommendations:
Pick from a wide range of hair accessories available on Salon Trusted to get the protective hairstyle you want.
Why:
Let’s go back to the basic times now when overnight oiling was a frequent affair. Especially in Asian cultures, we still see the practice of overnight oiling everywhere. Overnight oiling deeply nourishes your hair. It helps in strengthening and hydrating the strands. It enhances the elasticity of your hair making it softer and shinier.
How:
Apply coconut, argan, or castor oil to your hair, focusing on the ends. Cover with a shower cap overnight, and wash thoroughly in the morning.
Products:
Buy the best hair oils for showing it the right TLC! Additionally, you can read Salon Trusted’s guide to finding the best hair oil for your hair.
Why:
If you wash your hair often, you will strip your hair of its natural oils. This can easily lead to dryness and flaky scalps.
How:
Limit washing your hair to 2 or 3 times a week. Additionally, use a sulphate-free shampoo to retain moisture.
Products:
Browse sulphate-free hair products on Salon Trusted. Also read more on hair washing in our blog How to Build a Haircare routine.
Why:
Your hair can have product buildup very easily if you apply too many products too often. This product buildup can clog your hair follicles which leads to dull hair and scalp irritation.
How:
Use a clarifying shampoo once a month to reset your scalp and refresh your roots. Make a habit of it too. This isn’t just washing, it’s clarifying your scalp of all the product buildup.
Products:
Buy the best clarifying hair products on Salon Trusted.
Why:
You can try leave-in conditioners as they provide continuous moisture throughout the day. These will protect your hair against dryness and frizz.
How:
Apply to damp hair after washing, and focus on mid-lengths to ends. Leave it be.
Products:
Buy the best leave-in conditioners on our website.
Why:
Instead of a traditional towel, use a microfibre towel. They are designed to reduce friction. They also absorb water more effectively without breaking or frizzing your hair.
How:
Gently squeeze excess water from your hair with the towel. Dap and twist. Never rub!
Why:
Similar to how protein is essential for gaining muscle, it is also crucial for your hair. It can help in strengthening your weak and damaged hair. It helps in reducing hair breakage.
How:
Use a protein treatment once a month to maintain a healthy moisture-protein balance.
Why:
Always protect your skin and hair from extreme elements. If you go out in summer, the UV rays will weaken your hair. It will cause dryness and colour fading. Similarly, if you go out too much in the winter, the dry wind will take away the essential moisture and oils from your hair.
How:
When going out, always wear a hat or any other protective accessory that shields your hair from the elements. Alternatively, if you want to flaunt your hairstyle, use hair products that have UV protection. Keep your hair away from extreme sunlight, extreme wind, etc.
Products:
Buy the best protective hair products from Salon Trusted.

Salon Trusted’s Guide to Veganuary 2025 – Insight: Vegan Brand
Salon Trusted is kicking off 2025 by celebrating Veganuary. The global movement working towards making the vegan lifestyle the ultimate choice started in 2014 in the UK. The purpose of Veganuary is to educate and encourage everyone to adopt the vegan lifestyle for the entire January every year. In addition to educating about the vegan lifestyle, why not let everyone have a taste of what’s in store, even if it’s for a month?
But Veganuary is not just about food, as most people usually assume. It’s about adopting the vegan lifestyle in every aspect of your life. From food to cosmetics, you eliminate the use of animal or animal-derived products that you consume, even use on your hair and skin.
For Veganuary 2025, Salon Trusted is showcasing the brand that has made progress in becoming one of the leading vegan and cruelty-free brands out there – Insight Professional. Their award-winning products and commitment to sustainability and veganism are beyond admirable.
When it comes to cosmetics and hair products, Veganuary emphasises being Vegan OK Certified, and cruelty-free. According to the Humane Society International, an estimated 500,000 animals suffer and die each year in cosmetic testing globally. The tests are painful procedures on animals such as guinea pigs, mice, and rabbits, who later on die due to skin irritation, lethal dose injections, or eye irritations.
Thankfully, over 40 countries globally have now implemented full or partial bans on animal testing. The UK’s fight against animal testing for cosmetics began in 1998 and it became one of the frontier countries to ban animal testing. The 2013 EU-wide ban has since prohibited selling cosmetic products tested on animals. But you should always look for the Cruelty-Free logos since some animal-tested ingredients from pharmaceuticals can still find a way into cosmetic products. Only the Cruelty-Free logo is a guarantee that the product wasn’t tested on animals. And this is where Insight shines brightly!
There’s a common myth that vegan cosmetic products are not as effective as their animal-tested alternatives. This is only a myth. Do not fall for this.
A cruelty-free product guarantees that it was not tested on animals but it may not always be a vegan product. A vegan product will contain no animal-derived ingredients but may not always be cruelty-free. So, the most ethical choice will always be a product that is both vegan and cruelty-free. Insight is both!
Always check the products you use and see if they have logos for being vegan, cruelty-free, sustainable, paraben-free, etc. A quick search on the internet will guide you into recognising the authentic logos for each certification while mentioning the authority that certifies it.
Remember, lanolin is a product we get from sheep’s wool, so it is not vegan. Carmine is a product made from crushed beetles, so it is not vegan. Squalene is taken from shark liver, so it is not vegan but it can be vegan if it comes from olive oil. Look for alternatives for these such as fruit waxes, algae-based squalene, and plant oils.
Now let’s talk about Insight, the vegan and cruelty-free brand we have chosen to highlight during Veganuary. It is a brand that is professional with expertise and a conscious approach. They care deeply about their clients, animals, the environment, and the planet. Their formulas stand out because they are safe, effective, and eco-friendly.
Insight holds ISO certifications for being a carbon-neutral company, for its quality system, for good manufacturing practices, and for an environmental system certification for its focus on circular economy.
All of the Insight hair products are Vegan OK Certified. The Skin and Man lines from Insight are certified by Eco Bio Cosmetics by ICEA. The Sensitive and Lenitive lines from Insight are certified by Cosmos Natural. It also heavily promotes the use of certified, sustainable palm oil (CSPO) following the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
We chose Insight Professional for Veganuary 2025 for the following reasons. Most, if not all, of their products are:
Insight uses ozonated water in their formulas. Ozone molecules have three oxygen atoms due to their oxidative power. It is very effective as a disinfectant that does not release any chemical residue.
Insight uses functional active ingredients that are produced using organic agriculture. They use certified organic ingredients which are safe from soil to skin or hair, and even after.
Nickel is a metal found in clayey soils which can be absorbed by plants and animals alike. A great number of people are sensitive to it and it may be classified as an allergen for them. Insight actively tests its products to eliminate nickel.
Insight uses formulas that have a high percentage of plant-derived ingredients.
Insight shampoos are free from Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), both of which are potentially irritating and aggressive to the scalp and hair. The Cosmos Natural certification ensures that Insight products are dermatologically tested on sensitive skin to make them suitable for even the most sensitive skin out there.
For a future free from fossil fuel and its derivatives, Insight avoids using mineral oils and petroleum derivatives as the oil drilling industry is majorly responsible for global warming, CO2 emissions and being a heavy cost to the environment in general.
Insight products are free from silicones which end up in drains after being rinsed out and stay there for a long time. To commit to its eco-friendly mission, Insight does not use silicones despite its ability to give instant shine to hair.
Insight avoids preservatives such as parabens and MIT (Methylisothiazolinone) due to the controversy attached to them. These have been used in the industry for decades. But to stay in line with its sustainable philosophy, Insight avoids using them in its products.
Insight products are free from synthetic dyes except in products whose core function is colour treatment or anti-yellow treatment.
Insight Professional products have won multiple awards at the Hair Awards in 2023. This stands as a testament to their quality, effectiveness, and preference by their devoted clientele.
Salon Trusted is an advocate for vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainable products. This is why we choose to highlight Insight Professional for Veganuary 2025. It is a brand that resonates deeply with our mission of caring for the people who use hair and skin products as well as the planet we live on.
Buy the best vegan products from Insight Professional, and help the circular economy save the planet – one product at a time!

Salon Trusted’s Guide to Seasonal Hair and Beauty Trends for 2024
As we bid adieu to 2023 and welcome 2024, it’s time to refresh our hair and beauty game. From the latest hair and beauty trends to the must-have products, we discuss everything. So, grab a cuppa, sit back, and let us dive into the world of beauty! In this blog, we will be discussing what stylists think will be considered chic next year.
Here’s Salon Trusted‘s guide to a beautiful 2024:
In 2023, numerous hair trends made headlines, from chunky highlights to Bridgerton-inspired romantic braids and curls, Y2K-inspired frosted tips, edgy cuts, and grungy dark colours.
It’s predicted that the next year will see the rise of several new hair and beauty trends. So here are a few top trends:
It is a modern take on the classic ’50s haircut, inspired by the opulent and voluminous curls of the Baroque era. This style works for all hair types and lengths and can be achieved with a curling wand, texture spray, and hairspray.
These are sophisticated and elegant hairstyles suitable for special occasions. The trend focuses on adding a touch of nature and understated glamour to the hair, with accessories like pearls, flowers, ribbons, or clips. You can also play with texture and tendrils (curls) to create a more relaxed and romantic vibe.
This is all about having fun with hair colour. This trend involves alternating two-toned, colour-blocked looks on either side of the parting. It’s a fun look and an evolved version of the E-girl trend.
This look remains popular. Think of long layers and curtain bangs with soft, textured edges paired with a bouncy blowout, as well as adding a big bow or pearly hair accessory to make the look feel elegant and luxurious.
These are custom-made hair extensions tailored to your hair type, colour, and texture. They add volume and length to your hair without damaging it.
It is all about making a statement with big hair achieved through blowouts, teasing, and volumising products.
It’s a low-maintenance style that embraces natural hair texture. Think beachy waves, messy buns, and tousled locks.
The beauty industry is constantly changing, and 2023 was no exception. We saw lots of new trends that were both innovative and exciting, from achieving sculpted complexions to new beauty studios to visit. From new ingredients and formulations to new concepts and aesthetics, there’s much to look forward to in the beauty world. As we move into 2024, we can expect to see a continuation of this trend with a few new twists.
Here are some of the hair and beauty trends that will make a splash in 2024:
Sustainable beauty involves using products that are good for your skin and the environment. It means using natural and organic ingredients that are free from harmful chemicals.
It’s a trend never goes out of style. It is all about using products that give your skin a healthy, radiant glow. Think illuminating primers, highlighters, and moisturisers to give you the perfect glow from within look. Using the right skincare products and masks can also give you a glowing look to the skin.
This trend combines spirituality and ancestral ingredients to create a holistic and harmonious approach to beauty. It’s about using natural and organic products that have a positive impact on the body, mind, and soul, as well as the environment. It’s also about tapping into the energy and vibrations of different colours, crystals, and plants to enhance one’s aura and mood.
Here’s a list of some of the renowned brands on our website that offer the best hair and beauty products.
Get them from our online store and stylise your 2024:

How to Choose the Right Tan Product for Your Skin Type?
Choosing the right tan product is an essential step towards achieving a beautifully bronzed glow. It’s not just about the depth of colour; the right product can nourish your skin, provide a smooth application, and offer longevity.
But with a plethora of options available in the market, how can you select the perfect one for your skin type? Here are some factors to consider:
Truly knowing your skin type is the very first step in choosing the right tan product. Here are the common skin types and suitable tan products:
1. Normal Skin: If you have balanced skin, neither too dry nor too oily, you could use just about any type of tanning product, from lotions to mousses.
2. Dry Skin: For those with dry skin, opt for moisturising tanning lotions or creams, which can help hydrate your skin while providing a tan. Look for specific products with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or aloe vera.
3. Oily Skin: Mousse or gel-based tanning products are ideal for oily skin, as they’re lightweight and less likely to clog pores.
4. Sensitive Skin: If you have really sensitive skin, seek hypoallergenic products with minimal fragrance and fewer chemicals. Always perform a patch test before full application.
Consider the Depth of Tan
Tan products come with varying degrees of DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), the active ingredient that darkens the skin. Lighter skin tones may want to start with lower DHA levels for a natural-looking tan, while darker skin tones may require a higher concentration to see a noticeable difference.
For instance, the He-Shi Hydra Luxe Moisturising Lotion offers a medium shade with 7% DHA, suitable for people seeking a moderate tan.
The application method can greatly influence your tanning results. Tanning lotions and creams can be applied by hand, but for an even application, consider using an applicator mitt. The mitt works well with lotions, mousses, and gels.
For instance, the He-Shi Hydra Luxe Moisturising Lotion or the He-Shi H2O Glow Clear Tanning Mousse could be easily applied using a mitt for a streak-free tan. But if you prefer spray tans, consider using a brush for a flawless finish, such as the He-Shi Bronzer Brush.
Consider how long you want the tan to last and how easy it is to remove. Some products are designed to fade gradually over a week or so, while others might require a specific tan remover.
For example, if you’re looking for a long-lasting tan, consider the He-Shi Express Liquid Tan. If you prefer a temporary tan that can be washed off, the He-Shi Wonder Glow Instant Tan can be a suitable choice.
Here are some of Salon Trusted’s top recommended products:
1. He-Shi Hydra Luxe Moisturising Lotion: A hydrating tanning lotion that provides a medium tan, suitable for normal to dry skin types.
2. He-Shi Express Liquid Tan: An easy-to-apply liquid tan product offering a medium shade, ideal for all skin types seeking a longer-lasting tan.
3. He-Shi H2O Glow – Clear Tanning Mousse: This mousse offers a medium-dark tan and is great for oily skin types. It’s also infused with hyaluronic acid for added skin hydration.
4. He-Shi Overnight Hyaluronic Skin Firming Gradual Tan Balm: For those looking for a tan that also offers skin-firming benefits, this product is an excellent choice. It’s suitable for nearly all skin types, particularly those seeking anti-aging benefits.
5. He-Shi Wonder Glow Instant Tan with an HD Finish: A quick and temporary tanning solution that offers an instant medium shade tan that can be washed off. Suitable for all skin types, dominantly those looking for a one-day tan solution.
6. He-Shi Bronzer Brush: A must-have tool for a flawless application of liquid or spray tans, ensuring an even and smooth finish.
Remember, the key to a perfect tan lies not only in the product you choose but also in the preparation. Always exfoliate your skin before applying any tanning product to ensure an even application.

Haircare Heatwave Essentials
As we move into June we can see summer finally starting to creep in and temperatures beginning to rise again at long last. However, as the sun comes out of hiding and the days get longer, it’s important to also think about the effect the heat can have on your hair. The change in temperature and humidity from the new season can cause hair to dry out and become damaged with increased exposure. Read our new blog on our top picks for haircare heatwave essentials that will keep your hair healthy and nourished no matter the weather.
The heat from the summer sun can easily dry out your hair. Insight’s dry hair nourishing shampoo is specially formulated to nourish dry hair that can become dull from sunrays. The shampoo contains organic oat extract, coconut oil, illipe butter and sweet almond oil to moisturise and gently cleanse dry hair and restore bounciness and brightness all without weighing your hair down, leaving it softer all the way from roots to tips.
One of the best ways to restore any heat damage to your hair is a deep treatment and Schwarzkopf’s bonacure peptide repair rescue deep nourishing treatment will do just the trick. It conditions and moisturises dry and damaged hair and repairs the hair’s inner structure and surface.

The Best Products to Help Style Shorter Hair
The common misconception is that shorter hair is low maintenance and whilst that may be true to some extent, you shouldn’t go abandoning your barnet and cleaning out your beauty cabinets just yet if you’ve decided to get ‘the chop’. Although cutting your hair can make if feel healthier and thicker, it still needs TLC, even more so as the length between root and tip is greatly reduced, making split ends a big concern with many find that their hair seemingly ‘stops’ growing. But don’t worry, you can still make that drastic cut and keep your hair in tip-top condition even when it’s short. In our latest blog, we breakdown the best products to help style shorter hair.
We’ve said it before, but we’ll say it again. It’s so important that you get a product that suited to your hair type. Drug store shampoo and conditioners are a one size fits all – but that’s not you! Whether you have straight, curly, wavy, or kinky hair – there’s a product out there made to give your hair nourishment and strengthening it deserves. Our favourite pick is the Insight range of shampoos and conditioners as they have a product for everything, from the Insight Dry Hair- Nourishing Shampoo for those with dry frizzy hair, to the Insight Sensitive- Sensitive Skin Shampoo – they’ve got you covered!
It doesn’t matter if you have long or short hair, over washing your hair can more often than not do more harm than good. However, this is especially true for short hair as you can seriously dry out your scalp and the tips of your hair causing it to become dry, brittle, and damaged. The best way to avoid this is to wash your hair every other day or if you can, every few days. Worried about greasy roots? Don’t worry, we’ve got you. Total Results High Amplify Dry Shampoo not only helps to absorb oil, it refreshes your hair and gives it volume, perfect for those days when you just need to get going!
It can be really easy to just let your hair air dry, however, research has shown that brushing your hair stimulates the small blood vessels called capillaries in your scalp, increasing blood circulation and the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles. This could encourage hair growth, even strengthening the roots as the sebaceous glands in the scalp produce sebum, so by brushing your hair, the oil moves from root to tip creating a natural protective oil and conditioner. But be warned, not all hairbrushes are created equal. The Tangle Teezers range is not only made for keeping your hair tangle-free, but it offers a range of brushes for different hair types all designed to leave your hair soft and knot-free. The unique and ergonomic shape of the Tangle Teezer means it fits in your hand perfectly and glides through the hair without pulling, yanking or snagging.
Just because you’ve shorter hair, doesn’t mean you don’t have to protect it from the effects of heat. In fact, adding a heat protectant before blow drying, straightening, or curling short hair can help reduce the risk of breakage and split ends. We recommend the Leyton House Heat Protect Spray – this little beauty has a formula that not only keeps unwanted frizz at bay, but it prevents breakage and is perfect for any hair type.
Another thing you can invest in are the salon quality styling tools. The Babyliss Keratin Lustre Dryer is designed to protect your hair from the damaging effects of dryer heat with its specially designed keratin-infused ceramic, which fills in the gaps in each hair shaft, making your hair smoother, sleeker, and easier to style. Or if you’re in pursuit of the perfect beachy waves, the Babyliss Tongs are one of the most raved about styling tools and are perfect for creating soft lustrous curls. With a built-in ceramic barrel and heat ready indicator system, you can create waves that are smooth and shiny every time.
Pamper Hair with a Nourishing Mask
Having short hair may take a lot of the hassle out of getting ready in the morning, but there’s nothing wrong with giving your hair a pamper once in a while to help prevent or stop damage. From colouring/bleaching hair, to using styling tools – your hair goes through it. One of the best ways to revitalise your hair is to invest some time into a hair mask once or every other week. Our top picks are the Biolage Deep Treatment & Detangle Duos which help to restore moisture and bring damaged hair back to life. There’s a pack for every situation, choose from either Recover, Fiberstrong, Hydrasource or Smoothproof to keep your hair strong and healthy.
