Salon Trusted’s Guide on How to Show Your Locks Some TLC


Ever feel like your hair isn’t getting the love it deserves? Frizz, dryness, breakage, and such aren’t just bad hair days; they’re cries for help! Your locks deserve more than a quick shampoo and a rushed blow-dry. We are here to tell you How to Show Your Locks Some TLC they crave, and Salon Trusted has the right products to help you with it. Ready to turn your tresses from shambles to thriving?

Let’s dive into the ultimate self-care guide for hair glory. 

So What Should You Do To Show Your Hair Some Love?

For your locks it’s all about nurturing your strands with the attention they need. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about healthy, happy hair from root to tip. You can use hydrating masks, scalp treatments, or nourishing oils, and show your hair some love that helps maintain its strength, shine, and resilience. We love helping you feel appreciated and loved when it comes to your body, skin, and hair.

15 Ways to Show Hair Some Care

The products we sell are ideal for showing TLC to your locks. Here, we’ve chalked out 15 ways you can simply but very effectively show your locks the love and care they deserve. 

Here goes:

01. Hydrate with a Deep Conditioning Mask 

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. 

02. Scalp Massages and exfoliation

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.

03. Limit Heat Styling for a While 

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:

04. Get Regular Trims 

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. 

05. Use Silk Pillows 

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. 

06. Use a Wide-Tooth Comb/Detangling Brush

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.

07. Hydrate from Within 

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. 

08. Pick Protective Hairstyles 

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. 

09. Use Overnight Oil Treatments 

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.

If you wash your hair often, you will strip your hair of its natural oils

10. Avoid Over-Washing 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.

11. Clarify Your Scalp Monthly 

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:

12. Try Leave-In Conditioners 

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. 

13. Use a Microfibre Cloth 

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! 

14. Add Protein Treatments 

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. 

15. Protect Hair from Extreme Elements 

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:

Salon Trusted’s Guide: How to Build a Hair Care Routine


Salon Trusted believes in building a robust hair care routine that will keep your hair stronger, healthier and shinier. We often see ourselves getting busy in the hustle and bustle of life. But, to keep our hair healthy and beautiful, we have to build ourselves a hair care routine. 

A hair care routine is something that needs to work well for you and your hair.  It is dedicating yourself to creating these small manageable changes to help you keep your hair healthier and stronger. 

Once the ball starts rolling, and a month into it, your hair care routine will become second nature. Read on to find out more!

First, Get to Know Your Hair Better

A good hair care routine involves washing your hair, conditioning it, treating it, drying your hair, and then styling it to your desired looks. It’s honestly this simple! 

But to do these 5 steps, you have to first know a few things about your hair. Think of this as understanding your problem before figuring out which solution to use. 

Your hair care routine needs to be tailored to your hair type, what kind of hairstyles you mostly go for, and what your end goals are for your hair care routine. 

Ask yourself the questions below to learn about your hair and how to choose the best routine:

1. What is Your Hair Type?

Understanding your hair type is crucial for building the perfect hair care routine. Hair types can be categorised by texture, which determines how your hair behaves and what it needs to thrive. 

Here’s a breakdown of the different hair types:

  • Straight Hair 

Texture: 

Straight hair has no natural curl pattern and it lies flat from the root to the tip. It looks sleek and shiny because natural oils can easily trickle down the hair giving it a sheen. 

Characteristics: 

It is often prone to being oily. Straight hair can feel smooth to the touch but may lack volume. 

  • Wavy Hair 

Texture: 

Wavy hair forms loose ‘S’ shapes that fall between straight and curly. It often has more volume than straight hair but less than the curly hair type. 

Characteristics: 

Wavy hair can range from fine to coarse, and it tends to frizz more easily. 

  • Curly Hair 

Texture: 

Curly hair forms spirals or ringlets, with defined curls from the roots or midway down the hair shaft. It has more body and volume than wavy hair. It is prone to dryness as natural oils struggle to reach the ends. 

Characteristics: 

It can range from loose, bouncy curls to tight corkscrews. Curly hair often needs more hydration. 

  • Coily or Kinky Hair 

Texture: 

Coily hair has tight, springy curls or zigzag patterns. It tends to be very dense and is the most fragile texture due to its tight curl pattern. 

Characteristics: 

It is prone to shrinkage and dryness. It requires intensive moisturisation and care to prevent breakage. 

2. Is Your Hair Completely Natural? 

Have you had your hair dyed? Is it chemically treated? Do you frequently use heat styling tools? Did you get a hair treatment that affects the texture or type of your hair?

These are some of the questions you have to ask yourself. If your answer is ‘Yes’ to any of the above questions, then you don’t have completely natural hair. This means that depending on what you have done to your hair, your hair care routine will either add a few more steps or subtract some steps. 
Remember, all the best hair care products will help you take care of your hair completely, natural or not!

4. What Are the Hair Goals You Want to Achieve?

Figure out what you want for your hair. Think about all the issues you want to address with your hair care routine. Make a list of hair issues you are facing and find the relevant products for these issues.

The Best Hair Care Routine: Step-by-Step 

Once you have figured out what your hair is all about, the next step is to figure out how to create the best hair care routine. 

Here are the necessary steps to a long-lasting and effective hair care routine:

1. Wash Your Hair, As Often As Your Hair Type Requires 

Washing your hair is the foundation of any great hair care routine. It’s not just about keeping your hair clean; it is also about preparing your hair for the next steps, keeping it hydrated, and maintaining a healthy scalp. 

  • Detangle before washing 

Gently detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb, a detangler, or your fingers to minimise knots and breakage 

  • Use lukewarm water 

Hot water can strip your hair of its natural oils, while lukewarm water helps open the cuticles for better product absorption 

  • Apply shampoo to the scalp 

Focus on the roots and scalp where oil and dirt accumulate. Use your fingertips (never your nails!) to massage gently in circular motions to stimulate blood flow and remove buildup 

  • Rinse thoroughly 

Ensure all shampoo is rinsed out to avoid residue, which can cause itchiness and dullness 

You should always wash your hair according to your hair type. Straight hair should be washed every 2–3 days to manage oiliness. Wavy hair should be washed 2–3 times a week. Curly hair should be washed 1–2 times a week. Coily hair should be washed every 7-10 days. 

Don’t overwash your hair as washing too frequently can strip natural oils which will leave your hair dry and brittle. Once a month, use a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup, especially for straight and wavy hair. Remember healthy hair starts at the roots, so use a scalp scrub or treatment once a week if you have buildup or dandruff. 

You can find the best shampoos for your hair type on our website. 

2. Condition Your Hair With the Best Hair Care Products 

Conditioning your hair is essential for replenishing moisture, protecting against damage, and improving manageability. While shampoos cleanse the hair and scalp, great conditioners restore hydration, seal the hair cuticle, and smooth out strands for a softer, shinier finish. 

Here’s how to condition your hair effectively and tailor it to your hair type: 

  • Start with clean, damp hair 

After shampooing, gently squeeze excess water from your hair. Hair that’s too wet won’t absorb the conditioner effectively 

  • Apply from mid-lengths to end 

Focus on the conditioner where your hair is driest which is usually the mid-lengths and the ends. Avoid applying conditioner to the scalp unless you’re using a scalp-specific treatment 

  • Always use the right amount 

When washing shorter hair, the right amount of conditioner is the size of a pound coin. For medium hair, it is the size of a 50p coin. and for longer or thicker hair, a generous dollop enough to coat your hair easily is the right amount 

  • Leave it on for 2-5 minutes 

Allow the conditioner to penetrate the hair for maximum hydration and repair

  • Rinse thoroughly, but with cool water 

Cool water helps close the cuticle while locking in moisture and leaving your hair shinier and smoother.

3. Add Best Hair Treatments in Your Hair Care Routine 

Hair treatments are essential to protect your hair from damage, lock in moisture, and make styling easier. They help maintain the health of your hair between washes and address issues like frizz, dryness, or heat protection. The best hair treatments allow you to actively achieve your hair goals! 

Here’s how to carry out the right hair treatments in your hair care routine: 

  • Gently towel-dry your hair 

After showering, gently squeeze out excess water using a microfiber towel or a cotton T-shirt to reduce friction and prevent breakage. Avoid rubbing your hair vigorously 

  • Detangle very carefully 

Use a wide-tooth comb or a reliable detangler such as Tangle Teezer on damp hair. Start from the end and work your way up to minimise pulling and damage 

  • Apply treatments on damp hair 

Most hair treatments are designed for damp hair as it absorbs the products better when it’s slightly wet 

  • Again, focus on the mid-lengths and ends 

Avoid applying hair treatment products to the scalp unless they are specifically designed for scalp care, as this can lead to buildup or greasiness 

Some of the best hair treatments include leave-in conditioners, hair serums, hair oils, heat protectants (if you do the next steps), curl creams or gels, anti-frizz sprays, and scalp treatments. At SalonTrusted.com, you can find the best hair treatment products for every hair type, enabling you to build the best hair care routine possible! 

Remember, don’t overload your hair with products as it can weigh down your hair or lead to a buildup. Apply sparingly and only add more product if required. Also, adjust your hair treatment according to the season; lighter products in summer, and richer products in winter.

What is better Air drying or heat drying?

Air Drying

Air drying naturally dries hair without heat, preserving moisture, preventing damage, enhancing texture, saving time, being eco-friendly, cost-effective, and promoting scalp health by reducing dryness and irritation.

Heat Drying

Heat drying uses tools like blow dryers for quick styling, adding volume, controlling frizz, locking in styles, and managing thick hair efficiently, creating polished, salon-like looks in less time.

Both air drying and heat drying have their unique advantages. You can also alternate between the two or tailor your drying method to your schedule and hair type. It will ensure that your hair remains healthy and styled to perfection, every single time.

Here are a few of our top picks!

Just like your skin, your hair thrives on regular care tailored to its unique needs, from cleansing and conditioning to protecting and styling. A proper routine helps prevent damage, addresses specific issues like dryness or frizz, and ensures your hair stays manageable and vibrant over time.

Is Permanent Hair Removal Permanent? No Grow Hair Removal


 When we see ‘permanent’ on hair removal products, it’s tempting to believe we’ll soon be free from ever having to shave, wax, or epilate again. But is it really that simple? Unfortunately, the reality is a bit more complicated. While many hair removal products promise long-lasting results, they don’t quite achieve 100% permanent hair loss for everyone. 

This is where No Grow hair removal products differ from everything else. Read on as we break down the No Grow as a brand and product.

Is Permanent Hair Removal Permanent? It Is Not! 

Why? Hair growth is affected by various factors such as genetics, hormones, and the natural cycle of hair regrowth. Some hair follicles may remain dormant during treatment, and without repeated use, they can eventually produce hair again. That’s why, in most cases, products can inhibit or slow down regrowth but doesn’t eliminate it. However, a dedicated routine can help you achieve the desired results. 

The Different Stages of Hair Growth 

To understand why ‘permanent’ results aren’t guaranteed, let’s dive into the stages of hair growth. Hair grows in cycles: anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). Most hair removal products work best during the anagen phase when the hair is actively growing. However, since not all hair is in the same growth stage simultaneously, some strands are likely to survive each treatment session. Therefore, a single application may miss certain hairs, and that’s where the need for routine comes into play. 

No Grow: New Permanent Hair Removal Solution 

Finding the right hair removal solution for you and your needs can be a daunting task, with many hair removal techniques not being long lasting or possibly time consuming, expensive and not suitable for everyone. 

Introducing No Grow a new, innovative and simple hair removal solution that will leave your skin feeling silky smooth after use. It’s a no-brainer product as it’s a proven science that works for all skin and hair types! This is a great product for those seeking a permanent solution to hair removal. It is a quick and easy product for those who can’t use other forms of hair removal. 

What is No Grow? 

No Grow is a long-term hair growth inhibitor scientifically developed to target the root and reduce hair growth. Results are longer lasting than any other hair removal solutions leaving skin permanently hair-free. When used consistently and according to the instructions, No Grow can leave your skin permanently hair-free within 8 months. Many users begin to see visible results within just 4 weeks of regular use.  

Why Use No Grow? 

No Grow is ideal for individuals who want a hassle-free, permanent hair removal solution. Whether you’ve struggled with other methods or simply looking for a more effective alternative, No Grow is designed to meet your needs. It’s the ultimate solution for those who want a quick and easy product that delivers long-lasting results without the pain, expense, or inconvenience of traditional hair removal methods. 

How to Use No Grow 

See below for the application step-by-step – it is as easy as wipe on and wipe off! 

  1. Patch Test 

24 hours before use, please make sure to complete a patch test. Patch tests are important for use as they make sure you are not allergic to the product before you use it. Carry this out either on the back of your knee or in the small of your arm. 

  1. Area Preparation 

Make sure the area you wish to apply your No Grow treatment to is clean and clear of any oils, creams or lotions you may use. 

  1. Application of No Grow 

Apply No Grow to your area of choice then after 2-5 minutes, use the provided scraper or soft cloth to remove. NEVER leave the product on longer than the recommended time. Wash with soap and water to neutralise and ensure the product has been fully removed. 

  1. Post-Treatment Care 

Around 30 minutes after use, apply the No Grow Soothing Gel to nourish and hydrate your skin. This step helps to calm the skin and lock in moisture, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. 

Routine is the Key to Success 

As with many skincare routines, consistency is crucial to achieving the best results with hair removal products. Without a regular schedule, hair will likely continue to grow back at its usual pace. Using No Grow products according to instructions ensures that you’re catching more hairs in the growth phase over time, making each application more effective. 

To ensure that the No Grow products offer impressive, long-lasting results, dedicate yourself to routine, and then expect realistic desired results. The products will help you reduce and manage unwanted hair effectively and conveniently.  

What’s Inside the No Grow Formula 

No Grow is filled with natural ingredients for your skin and ingredients that work together to target the hair follicle and stop hair growth. 

Responsible Ingredient Sourcing 

No Grow products are made with respect for Planet Earth. The sourced ingredients are ethically harvested and made sustainable. They always respects the ecosystem of local communities and helps raise awareness about unethical ingredients found in cosmetic products. 

No Parabens 

These products do not contain parabens or formaldehyde-releasing preservatives such as dialysed urea. Parabens are a type of preservative used in many main-stream skincare and cosmetics. In recent years they have come under scrutiny as they’re believed to be carcinogenic (an ingredient linked with causing cancer).

No Grow on Salon Trusted 

Here are the No Grow products available on Salon Trusted:

No Grow for Men: 

Who are Hair Removal Products Best Suited for? 

No Grow products are ideal for those seeking a reduction in hair density rather than a permanent, one-time solution. They’re well-suited for individuals who are patient with their hair removal routine and willing to follow a consistent application routine to achieve and maintain results. They are especially beneficial for people with darker, thicker hair who find shaving or waxing too harsh or time-consuming.

How Does No Grow Compare with Other Hair Removal Methods 

Here’s a quick look at how it compares:

How to get Salon Quality Hair at Home


It is always a great achievement whenever you get salon-quality hair in the comfort of your home. When you can achieve Salon Quality hair at home you look and feel more polished. Whether you’re preparing to look your best at a party or just in your day to day life. Achieving either straight or curled hair at home can be simple if you use the right products!

We are here to help you out in everything there’s to know about achieving salon-quality hair using Professional tools and products you can buy from us!

Here’s everything you should know before, during, and after straightening or curling your hair, and products to buy to achieve the right look:

Start with Hair Prep

Before you do anything, here are a few tips for preparing your hair to straighten it at home using the best tools and products: 

  1. Start with Clean Hair

Washing your hair before styling it is the best way to start your salon quality hair journey. Dirt, oil, and product buildup can make your hair greasy and weigh it down. Use the best quality shampoo to properly wash your hair. 

  1. Towel-Dry Your Hair 

You want to be gentle with your hair while drying it up. Don’t rub your hair excessively because that will leave you with a frizzy head of hair. If possible, you can also try using a micro-fibre towel. 

  1. Detangle Your Hair Properly 

Use the best detanglers that suit your hair type and comb your hair down gently. Split your hair into manageable sections, and comb using the right detangler for your hair. Go slow and steady to avoid creating curls. Remember, tangles in your hair can cause breakage when heat is applied. 

  1. Moisturise Your Hair 

Use a good leave-in conditioner to hydrate your hair. You don’t want your hair dehydrated when you straighten it with heat. A good leave-in conditioner will keep your hair tangle-free and manageable during the process. Remember to apply it to damp hair so the moisture is locked in. 

  1. Apply a Heat Protectant 

Always apply a heat protectant to your hair before using any heat-styling hair tool. This is the key to preventing heat damage during styling. 

  1. Choose the Right Heat Styling Tools

Whether you want to go for a blow-drying method for straightening your hair or the flat ironing method, buy a high-quality heat styling tool such as Futaria XL Airstyler. Look for tools that have adjustable heat settings as your hair type will require you to set an accurate temperature that doesn’t damage your hair. For instance, fine or damaged hair requires lower heat, around 150°C to 175°C, meanwhile, thicker or coarse hair may need a higher temperature of up to 200°C. 

Crucial Tips to Avoid Damaging Your Hair While Styling it

Here are some tips that will help you to avoid damaging your hair while using heat styling tools on your hair: 

  1. Use Heat Sparingly 

Don’t overdo it. Don’t use too much heat too often. Too much exposure to heat can cause lasting damage to your hair. 

  1. Don’tSkip Heat Protectant 

Don’t skip the heat protectant when straightening your hair. The barrier it creates between your hair and the heat is crucial for keeping your hair from being overly damaged and healthy.

Here are some products we recommend

When straightening your hair, you can choose either of the two most popular methods, blow-drying or flat ironing. Both methods come with their pros and cons which we will discuss now. 

But here are a few hairdryers and straighteners we recommend: 

The Blow-Drying Method for Straightening your hair

The blow-drying method uses a hairdryer combined with a brush to straighten hair. This method is gentler than a flat iron and is ideal for adding volume and movement to your hair while straightening. 

Pros:

  • It adds volume and body to your hair 
  • It is less damaging to your hair
  • You can get various styles depending on the kind of brush you use 
  • It is ideal for fine hair as it prevents flatness 
  • It leaves a better natural-looking finish

Cons:

  • It takes more time and skill to master and execute perfectly 
  • You will need a brush for this which may be tricky to use for beginners 
  • It can easily cause frizz if not done correctly 
  • It isn’t quite effective for thick curls or coarse hair 
  • It may still need a follow-up by a straightener for a perfectly sleek look 

The Flat Iron Method for Straightening your hair

The flat iron method is the most popular and offers a sleek, smooth, and shiny finish. It’s a quicker method but can be harsher on your hair if not used correctly. You can use a straightener or air styler, like the ones from Futaria

Pros:

  • It leaves you with a sleek and polished finish 
  • It works well for all hair types including thick curls or coarse hair 
  • It is faster in giving you the desired results 
  • It is easier for accurate heat control and application to specific areas 
  • It is perfect for a longer-lasting look

Cons: 

  • It can cause significant heat damage if not done correctly 
  • It may leave your hair too flat, if overdone 
  • It needs extra care and caution when controlling the temperature 
  • You can get split ends quickly if you use it frequently 
  • It leaves you with less volume in comparison to blow-drying 

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Straightening Your Hair 

Here are a few pointers to remember when you’re straightening your hair as these are some of the most common mistakes people make during the process:

  • Not Using a Heat Protectant Beforehand

Do not ever skip the heat protectant whenever you are working with heat styling tools on your hair, be it a hair dryer or a straightener. As mentioned before, a great heat protectant is to your hair what sunscreen is to your skin. You will be happy knowing that your hair isn’t being damaged by the heat. 

  • Not Drying Your Hair Completely Before Starting 

Your hair needs to bone dry before styling it with a straightener. Imagine putting the hot ceramic plates of the straightener directly onto your wet hair! It will make your hair sizzle and damage it beyond repair. You don’t want to end up with burnt hair. 

  • Not Sectioning Your Hair in the Prep Stage 

Consider sectioning your hair like breaking down a goal into manageable and doable smaller tasks. You can’t start straightening your hair without a plan. You have to section your hair, start from one side, and slowly progress to the other side till the entire head is finished. Sectioning also helps your hair in terms of being overexposed to heat in the same area. 

  • Not Cleaning Your Heat Styling Tools 

Straighteners usually have ceramic plates that heat up, similarly, hair dryers heat a coil before blowing air over it to give you hot air. Make sure that your heat-styling tools are clean before you start using them. Dirt and even broken hair from previous use can heat up and stick to the ceramic or coil. You don’t want an unpleasant smell when straightening your hair and neither do you want hot goo or dirt to stick to your freshly cleaned hair when straightening. Quickly wipe off the ceramic plates with a clean dry microfiber cloth and blow a few times into the hair dryer before using it. 

How to Care for Your Hair Post-Straightening 

Here are a few tips for taking care of your hair once you are done straightening your hair using a straightener or a hairdryer: 

  1. Use Color Wow Dream Coat (or similar) to Pop and Lock the Style

The Color Wow brand has an amazing range of products under its Dream Coat line that will help you lock in your straightened hair while keeping it hydrated and moisturised. 

  1. Avoid Water Exposure 

Keep your straightened hair away from water for at least 24 hours after you are done straightening them. This will help you maintain the look and style. Also, avoid humidity as moisture in the air can cause frizzy hair very quickly. Use an anti-humidity spray such as the Color Wow Dream Coat Anti-Humidity Hair Spray

  1. Use a Gentle Hair Brush 

After straightening your hair, use a soft-bristle brush to gently and softly brush your hair. It will help prevent damage to the style since it won’t be too invasive when you brush it through the styled hair.

Salon Trusted Guide to Beauty on a Budget

Not all beauty and hair products are equal – some are affordable, yet effective. In this blog, we, at SalonTrusted.com, will showcase beauty and hair products on our webstore that are affordable, yet deliver the desired results. 

Commonly, the notion is that any expensive beauty or hair product will get you the desired results. This is why most people openly equate the quality of a product with its high price, hence, they end up going over their budget to buy luxury beauty and hair products. The luxury brands understand this, and they make their products smaller in size to create that sense of exclusivity. This creates a bias among the consumers, who want to add that specific luxury product to their collection. 

This blog will highlight beauty and hair products on SalonTrusted.com that are affordable for everyone.

How to Choose the Best Cruelty-Free and Vegan Brands in the UK


Have you ever wondered how to buy vegan and cruelty-free skincare, beauty and hair products? Do you want products from brands that are kind to animals and great for the planet? In this blog, we list down how you can buy the best vegan, cruelty-free skincare in the UK, as well as hair and beauty products. Whether you are a dedicated vegan, just curious about plant-based beauty, or a flexitarian, the following tips and recommendations will help you shop smarter and greener. 

What to Look for When Buying Cruelty-Free Beauty Products 

Cruelty-free beauty products means all products that have not been tested on animals at any stage of their production. This holds true for the brand you are buying from as well as third parties that may have collaborated with the brand. As this is highly unethical and unnecessary too since there are now so many alternative methods of testing products and making them safe and reliable. 

However, cruelty-free and vegan are not entirely the same, as some cruelty-free products may contain animal-derived products such as beeswax. honey, lanolin or carmina. To make sure you’re buying a 100% vegan beauty product in the UK, always look for the certifications and labels from the following authorities: 

  • The Leaping Bunny logo
    This is the most recognised and trusted cruelty-free certification in the world, administered by Cruelty-Free International. It guarantees that no animal testing has been done on the finished product or any of its ingredients, by the brand or its suppliers, anywhere in the world. 
  • The Vegan Society logo

This is the oldest and most respected vegan certification in the UK. It ensures that no animal ingredients or by-products are used in the product or its manufacturing process and that no animal testing has been done by the brand or its suppliers. 

  • The PETA logo

This widely recognised cruelty-free and vegan certification is issued by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. It verifies that no animal testing has been done on the product or its ingredients by the brand or its suppliers and that no animal-derived ingredients are used. 

Additionally, you may visit the brand’s website to check out its official stance on animal testing. Almost all brands that are vegan or cruelty-free, or both have dedicated web pages to show their commitment. If you cannot find a clear stance on animal testing or being vegan, it is safer to avoid that brand altogether. 

Tips on Buying Cruelty-Free Hair Products 

For hair care, you may think that it is hard to find vegan and cruelty-free products, but that is not true at all. There are now numerous brands that offer high-quality hair products that are free from all kinds of animal products, and these are not tested on animals either. Here’s how you can find the best vegan and cruelty-free hair products that are suitable for your hair type: 

  • Check the ingredients

Avoid hair products that contain biotin, silk amino acids, collagen, elastin, or keratin. All of these are usually derived from animals. Instead, look for plant-based or synthetic alternatives that give you the same nourishment and strengthen your hair without harming any living soul. 

  • Shop online for vegan, cruelty-free hair products

One of the easiest and most convenient ways to find vegan and cruelty-free hair products is to do a simple search on the internet. Sometimes you will end up finding brands that only sell vegan and cruelty-free products. You can also visit online beauty stores such as Salon Trusted. Just filter your search by hair type, product type, and select ‘vegan’ and ‘cruelty-free’.

  • Ask your local salons

The next time you go to your local salon, ask them to use vegan and cruelty-free products on you. Ask them where to buy these products. They will be happy to recommend products and may even earn commission through affiliate programs. 

Ingredients to Avoid and Ingredients to Look for 

When buying vegan and cruelty-free products, it’s important to look for products that are free from animal-derived ingredients. 

Some common animal-derived ingredients found in hair products include:

  • Keratin
  • Collagen
  • Beeswax
  • Honey

Instead, look for products that contain plant-based ingredients such as:

  • Coconut oil
  • Argan oil
  • Jojoba oil
  • Shea butter

Here we list down some of the best vegan and cruelty-free brands on our website. We support your choice and want you to look fabulous at the same time. Here you go:

Mastering Summer Hair Care: The Best Anti-Frizz Products


Mastering Summer Hair Care: The Best Anti-Frizz Products

As we welcome the sunny season of summer, it’s time to talk about a common hair woe that many of us face during these warm months – frizz. Yes, the humidity and heat can turn our hair into a frizzy mess. But worry not; we’ve got you covered with some of the best anti-frizz products that will keep your hair smooth, shiny, and gorgeous all summer long!

Understanding Frizz

Before we dive into the products, let’s understand what causes hair to frizz. Frizz happens when your hair is dry and lacks moisture. The outer layer of your hair, known as the cuticle, opens up and lets the air rush in, leading to a puffy hair shaft. This is why humidity often makes hair frizzy.

How to Fight the Frizz

The key to managing frizz is to keep your hair moisturised and healthy. This can be achieved with a good hair care routine that includes a hydrating shampoo, a moisturizing conditioner, and an anti-frizz product to seal the deal. And guess what? You can find all these products right here at Salon Trusted!

The Salon Trusted Anti-Frizz Range

At Salon Trusted, we have a fantastic range of products designed to fight the frizz and keep your hair looking its best. Here are some of our products:

1. Foamie Shampoo Bar and Conditioner Bar

Meet your hair’s new best friends – the Foamie Shampoo Bar and Conditioner Bar! These aren’t your average hair care products but an innovative solution designed specifically for dry and frizzy hair.

Infused with the goodness of Argan Oil, these solid bars do so much more than just cleanse. They offer a threefold benefit – they massage, cleanse, and care for your hair. The result? Hair that not just looks good but feels good too. Say goodbye to frizz and hello to a shiny, well-nourished mane!

But that’s not all. These bars respect your hair’s natural pH of 5.5, maintaining the perfect balance for your hair and scalp. They’re also effortless to use, thanks to their ergonomic shape. No more fumbling with slippery bottles in the shower!

And did we mention that these bars are an eco-friendly choice too? They’re more environmentally friendly than conventional shampoo bottles, and they’re 100% plastic-free. Plus, they’re vegan, dermatologically tested, and made right here in Germany.

What’s more, they’re free from mineral oils, PEG, soap, parabens, and silicones and are reliable. Just pure, natural, vegan hair care that’s perfect for you and for our planet.

Whether you’re happy at home or on the move, these bars can become your perfect companions. Plus, you don’t need to think about liquid restrictions on flights or spillages in your bag ever again.

2. Hair Movement Fight The Frizz Range

The star of the range, the Fight the Frizz Anti-Frizz Spray, isn’t just any anti-frizz spray. It’s a multi-tasking wonder that goes above and beyond to transform your hair. Infused with a unique mix of water lily, coconut, and Arabian coffee extract, this spray works tirelessly to build keratin, thicken hair strands, and remove impurities. This results in hair that is not only free from frizz but also appears shinier, easier to manage, and with added volume.

But wait, there’s more. The Anti-Frizz Spray doesn’t just work on the surface. It goes deeper, stimulating your follicles to promote stronger hair at the foundation and root. So you’re not just dealing with the symptoms of frizz; you’re addressing the root cause.

Now, let’s talk about how to use this fantastic product. The Anti-Frizz Spray is a finishing product that can be used on dry as well as wet hair. And the best part? Its heat protector works on all hair types. The anti-frizz benefits, however, are immense. It will help reduce frizz and maintain styles longer, giving you that salon-finished look all day long.

The application is a breeze. Just apply a small amount through damp or dry hair and massage through mid-lengths to the end of your hair. Comb through for proper distribution and style as usual. It’s perfect for use before and after a blow-dry, helping you achieve that flawless, frizz-free style with ease.

3. Insight Anti-Frizz Range

The Insight Anti-Frizz range includes a hydrating shampoo, conditioner, and mask. These products are designed to hydrate your hair and keep frizz at bay.

Firstly, the Insight Anti-Frizz Range is packed with natural elements and is free from harmful chemicals. You won’t find any synthetic colorants, allergen fragrances, SLS/SLES, silicones, parabens, MIT, mineral oils, or petrolatum in these products. Instead, you’ll find gentle, hair-loving ingredients that work to nourish and protect your hair.

Secondly, this range is proudly Vegan OK certified. This means that no animal-derived ingredients are used in these products, making them suitable for those following a vegan lifestyle. But don’t worry; you don’t need to be vegan to enjoy the benefits of these hair care products – they’re designed for everyone!

One of the standout features of the Insight Anti-Frizz Range is that it’s 100% made in Italy. Italian beauty and hair care products are renowned worldwide for their quality, and the Insight Anti-Frizz Range is no exception. Every product in this range is crafted with care and precision to ensure you get the best results.

Finally, the Insight Anti-Frizz Range is not just good for your hair but also for the planet. All the packaging is 100% recyclable, helping you to reduce your environmental footprint. It’s a win-win situation – you get gorgeous, frizz-free hair, and our planet gets a little bit of love, too.

4. Matrix Total Results Mega Sleek Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner Matrix Total Results Mega Sleek Shampoo & Conditioner work together to detangle and moisturise your hair using the combination of shea butter and ceramide to give your hair that smooth look. 

The combination of shea butter and ceramide locks and keeps a hold of the moisture in your hair, not drying it out. The ceramides in the Mega Sleek Shampoo help flatten the hair cuticles which then improves the hair elasticity, hair strength and smoothness. The Mega Sleek Shampoo also contains salicylic acid which has the benefit of reducing itchiness and irritation of the scalp. 

The Mega Sleek Conditioner has an innovative formula that effectively hydrates and detangles the hair and works to repair any damage caused to the hair.

How to Choose the Right Tan Product for Your Skin Type?


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:

Understanding Your Skin Type

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.

Mastering the Art of Tan Application

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.

Duration and Ease of Removal

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.
