Our Guide to the Clean Beauty Movement
Clean beauty is a growing trend in the beauty industry that is predicted to be a major movement through 2022. However, the overall term is still somewhat murky because there is no industry standard for the category and so, there is room for interpretation. Here at Salon Trusted, we understand the main trait of clean beauty is that it is toxin-free; meaning there are no ingredients included that have been linked to harmful health effects.
With a growing interest in beauty that is natural and obtained from organic sources, more and more brands are producing beauty products which are cleaner for the skin, body and environment. Keep an eye out for labels that say ‘paraben, sulphate, and silicone’ free, as these are considered the three biggest toxins in beauty products today.
If you want to free yourself from toxins and chemical nasties, and introduce more eco-friendly beauty products into your life, take a look at our top 5 clean beauty products listed below.
This limited edition pack from He-Shi has everything you need to achieve a flawless tan in just 60 minutes. Thanks to the advanced time development accelerators, use the Rapid 1 Hour Liquid Tan to achieve a quick gorgeous glow, leave it on for 2-3 hours for a medium tan or even overnight for 8 hours to wake up with a deep bronzed look. This means you can tailor the colour of your tan depending on your personal preference, or the occasion! The pack also contains a travel size Face & Body Tanning Gel and Rapid 1 Hour Mousse, as well as a tanning mitt, all of which you can currently get your hands on for nearly half price at just £25.00. Every item in the gift box is paraben, alcohol, sulphate, palm oil and mineral oil free. If that wasn’t enough, it’s also vegan friendly, cruelty free and fully recyclable. What’re you waiting for?
A favourite here at Salon Trusted HQ, Infuse My Colour is a range of professional colour enhancing products, that work to your individual hair colour to maintain, enhance, refresh, balance or treat your locks. Your faded colour no longer has to rely on harsh chemicals as this vegan and cruelty-free range has zero nasty chemicals, with no parabens, no silicones and no sulphates! There’s a whole range of colours to choose from like quartz, graphite, ruby or even platinum; perfect for maintaining the brightness of grey, white, pale blonde and highlighted hair.
Foamie are on a mission to ‘Think Outside the Bottle’ with plant friendly solutions that smell incredible and leave a lasting effect on your skin and hair. What’s more, their products are free from toxins and chemical nasties. Their iconic ‘syndet’ is the base for a whole range of low-cost products from shampoo, conditioners, exfoliating shower bars and now their brand new face bars! The Rose Oil and Vitamin B3 face bar acts as a gentle cleanser, suitable for all skin types, that’ll give you the radiantly fresh look we’re all craving. It’s soap free, toxin free and is even pH optimised for an even gentler cleanse.
Many shampoos and conditioners contain sulphates that over-cleanse and dry out your scalp. By sticking to sulfate-free formulas, this will help to keep greasiness to a minimum and will cleanse your strands without stripping your scalp or hair of the oils that are needed for strong, healthy locks. All of the Biolage, by Matrix, shampoo and conditioners are sulfate-free to lock in hydration and moisture whilst leaving a refreshed and smooth finish. Our favourite? The Biolage Keratindose Pack, created with pro-keratin and silk to provide targeted reinforcement and moisture balance to over-processed hair. Regular use of the shampoo, conditioner and deep treatment will help to restore moisture and leave your hair up to 90% more nourished! Each of the 3 products in this value pack are sulphate free, p and silicone-free so be sure to snap this bundle up before it sells out!
The experts at Colour Wow have created this anti-frizz cream to repair, nourish, protect, hydrate and style your hair. It really is a one-stop-shop! This cream can be used on dry hair, for any and all hair types, by simply applying a small amount through the ends, to leave your hair soft and silky without it feeling weighed down. Once applied, this sulphate and paraben free cream will continue to fight the frizz all day long.

New Year, New You: Our Top 10 Hair Trends of 2022
Our hair sure has had a lot of ups and downs this year, from missing that salon look and feel to DIY hair cuts at home. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel, as the new year brings with it a whole host of inspiration, new products and new hairstyles so let’s look at our predicted trends for your tresses in 2022 and the best products to support your new do all year round.
A lot of us got sick of our unruly barnets during lockdown 1 and 2 and as a result, got a severe chop. Well, now hairstylists are saying that the mid-length 90s trend haircut is sticking around a little while longer, especially with celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian blazing the trail. It can also give thin hair a fuller, healthier appearance – result!
Hairdo Styling Pack Got a new short do and not sure how to style it? Get your hands on this four-product styling pack from Hairdo. You’ll find all you need to tame your tresses in this perfect pack: Hair Do Shine Hold Spray – amplifies your hair by infusing it with extra texture and definition, Hair Do Surf Spray – give yourself perfect beachy waves and texture with this lightweight formula, Hairdo Heat Protection Spray – keep frizzing hair at bay with this breakthrough formula which magically nourishes your damaged hair, and finally Hairdo Dry Shampoo – when you have no time to wash your hair but you can’t afford a bad hair day, reach for this breakthrough dry shampoo and get instant fresh hair and a clean scalp.
Gone are the days of the centre parting being a ‘nerdy’ hairstyle. It’s been elevated to cult status, sported by celebrities and influencers alike.
Leyton House Powder Power A lot of people avoid the middle parting as it can highlight greys or greasy roots. Enter, Powder Power. Give your roots an instant boost with this volumizing dry powder. This amazing non-tacky powder can help to create a tousled effect, be used to absorb unwanted oil or even restyle day-old hair.
Color Wow Root Cover Up There’s nothing worse than sporting a cute centre parting and noticing you need to hit the salon pronto, but you’re out of time. The Color Wow Root Cover Up is a magic powder that conceals grey roots and can even refresh highlights and thicken thinning hairlines. No more fussing with messy sprays – this powder and brush set allows for precise application. Unlike crayons and mascaras, the formula is not waxy or sticky making it easy to apply. Available in 8 shades from Platinum to Black.
Unless you were living under a rock, we all know what the ‘Rachel’ haircut was. Sported by Jennifer Anniston in the mid-90s by the eponymous Rachel from hit tv show ‘Friends’, this iconic hairstyle is great for adding volume, movement, and shape as it frames the face and can add texture to any tired style.
Our recommended product:
Color Wow EXTRA Mist-ical Shine Spray Turn heads with this shine spray to make your hair look sparkling and healthy. This ground-breaking product from Color Wow utilises the light-producing power of Mullein, a flower Phenom that traps invisible UV light and converts it into full-spectrum light – resulting in an intense glossy shine.
There was heated debate among Millennials and Gen Z whether side partings were ‘out’ or worse, were branded ‘cheugy’. We can confirm that the side parting is back (if it ever really left) – especially with the aforementioned bob. Celebrity stylists predict that we’ll be seeing a lot more of the chic bob paired with a heavy side parting – perfect for anyone looking to emulate the classic Parisian style.
Insight Daily Use – Bodifying Dry Shampoo If you’re trying to cut down on washing your hair every day then Insight’s Daily Use dry shampoo may be the last dry shampoo you’ll ever need. This dry shampoo powder gets rid of oil and gives hair fullness and volume in seconds giving the appearance of thicker hair without the weight.
Total Results High Amplify Dry Shampoo Matrix’s dry shampoo works to absorb oil without weighing down the hair like traditional high street brands, making it the perfect dry shampoo spray for those with fine or thin hair.
CurlsOn the opposite end of the trend spectrum is big hair. In 2022 we are going to see a lot more curls, from beach waves to soft tight curls and thanks to Adele, big, bouncy, blowouts. Those blessed with natural curls – rejoice and embrace them – your in-vogue style is about to be the envy of even more people.
Love Your Curl Shampoo Give your curly hair some TLC with this specially designed cruelty-free and vegan formula created to reduce frizz, increase shine, and define curls and softer waves. Take it to the next level and partner with the Love Your Curl Conditioner which strengthens and repairs.
Babyliss Spectrum 19mm Wand Purple Mist Not blessed with natural curls? We may have the answer. With a midsize ceramic barrel, this wand is made to create beautiful, long-lasting defined curls with a silky, smooth finish. The ceramic coated 19mm extra-long barrel is perfect for those with longer hair and allows you complete control to create the look you desire whilst the choice of 25 different temperature settings up to 200°C mean you can protect your hair whilst creating a look that expresses your individuality.
There’s been a sharp trend in consumers choosing natural, cruelty-free, vegan products and it looks like this trend is here to stay. Not only do we know that harsh chemicals can strip the hair of essential oils, they can also be tough on the scalp and can even cause flaking or dandruff. We’ve also seen a sharp rise in people foregoing washing their hair every day, allowing their hair to return to its natural state. Especially after lockdown and not being able to get to salons, many people embraced their natural hair colour or texture. Stylists expect that although people are returning to the salon, they’ll still be staying true to themselves and their hair.
Foamie Aloe You Vera Much Shampoo Bar There are many Foamie bars available for those with thin hair, dry hair, coloured hair – there’s a bar for everyone – but the Aloe You Vera Much bar is a great place to start, especially if you have dry hair as a result of colouring. Not only is then Foamie bar 100% vegan, animal testing free, and free from silicones, dyes, sulphates, and nanoparticles – it’s environmentally friendly and holds up to 25 washes. This shampoo moisturizes and prevents the hair from drying out – perfect if you’re going a couple of days between hair washes.
Foamie Aloe You Vera Much Conditioner Bar With aloe vera and hydrolyzed oat proteins, this conditioner is the perfect companion to your shampoo bar. This Foamie conditioner bar prevents hair breakage and intensely moisturises, while the pH of 4.5 helps seal your hair. Like its companion, the Foamie conditioner bar contains 0% mineral oils, PEG, soap, parabens, silicones and liliale.
Say goodbye to soft highlights, lowlights, and balayage in 2022. It looks like one-dimensional colour will be knocking those trends off the top shelf. Think soft and subtle chocolate browns, gingers, and warm honey colours. And good news for maintenance, as having one overall colour means upkeep is kept at a minimum.
Total Results 2021 Color Obsessed Trio With revolutionary Fade Guard technology, the Colour Obsessed Shampoo and Conditioner work together to inject moisture and hydration into your colour treated hair, whilst creating definition and boosting shine. Buy now and get a FREE Mini Miracle Creator 20; a multi-tasking treatment with 20 beautifying benefits for your hair!
Biolage 2021 Keratindose Duo Colouring your hair can mean it needs a little more TLC than usual. The Keratindose Shampoo and Conditioner is designed specially to treat dull, weak and damaged locks. Infused with pro-keratin, the formula restores your hair from roots to tip, sealing in the moisture and leaving your hair healthier, frizz-free and up to 90% more nourished after just one application!
This is not a drill! 2022 will see the resurrection of the side bang, a staple in the 00s. Stylists predict that a slightly longer side-swept bang will be requested from the salon chair. It may be a throwback, but this style is perfect for those looking to test the water with bangs, without going under a full chop. The side bang offers a lot of versatility with the middle parting, being pinned, or simply being tucked behind the ear.
Our recommended product:
Loreal SteamPod 3.0 Straightening Tool – White Having a kink in our bangs is not what we’re looking for in the new year, but have no fear, Loreal is transforming the way we style our hair with these steam-powered straighteners. Using a continuous flow of high-pressure steam to hydrate each strand from the inside out without causing heat damage, the SteamPod also features a new rotative cord for hassle-free waves meaning no matter the style you choose, you’ll be left with smooth, soft, and natural-looking shiny hair.
And just like that… Sarah Jessica Parker is back on our screens and with that so is the classic ‘money piece’ hairstyle. Think, face-framing balayage strategically placed near the front giving an expensive, glamourous highlighted look. Well in 2022, we’re going to be going one step further with the ‘hair contour’. Instead of bold highlights framing the face, hair contouring sees clusters of highlights, using softer-contrast lighter shade around the face in a soft colour block. Sounds like a lot? Surprisingly this hair trend has relatively low maintenance and is perfect for those who are looking to brighten up their look and skin tone.
Color Wow Dream Coat 200ml Expensive looking hair needs the best aftercare, especially in the winter months. Color Wow’s Dream Coat is a lightweight, anti-humidity, anti-static hair care spray that can transform even the frizziest, unmanageable hair into smooth, hydrated and bouncy locks. This easy-to-use spray coats each strand of hair with an invisible, waterproofing layer that helps to control moisture levels for up to 3 washes.
We’ve seen a rise in the ‘expensive brunette’ trend which saw rich chocolate brown colours woven together with luscious blacks being adopted. Next year, however, this trend will evolve to include blondes and copper tones too. This means we’ll be seeing a lot of blondes including sumptuous strawberry and copper tones to add a three-dimensional aspect to their hair. This is also good news for traditional brunettes or darker as it will see lighter, warmer tones like toffee, amber and light brown sugar shades being included.
Infuse My Colour Copper Shampoo Gift Bundle This shampoo and conditioner bundle from infuse my. The Colour is designed to maintain the brightness of deep strawberry blonde, copper, auburn, and warm brown hair and is vegan and cruelty-free with no parabens, silicones or sulphates make it gentle on your hair.
Total Results 2021 Unbreak My Blonde Trio Gift Set This ultimate haircare system gift set by Matrix is designed to strengthen and care for bleached hair. The gift set consists of the Unbreak My Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner and the Mini Miracle Creator 20 – a multi-tasking treatment with 290 beatifying benefits, from leave-in nourishment, shine boost, cuticle smoothing and heat damage prevention.

The Top 5 Hair Styling Tools Every Beauty Lover Should Have
Achieving a fresh ‘out-of-the-salon’ look for those of us who can only just manage to hold a brush and a hairdryer at the same time is no easy feat. However, as the saying goes ‘a man is only as good as his tools and so arming yourself with the right equipment is the first step towards achieving hairstyling success.
It’s an unspoken truth that whatever hair type you have whether that be curly, straight, or somewhere in between, it’s likely that you’ve spent countless hours over the years styling your hair the complete opposite way. Your desired hairstyle can change depending on your mood or the occasion; sometimes you want poker-straight hair, whilst on other occasions, beachy waves add the right amount of perfection to your look. Then there are times when you feel like sporting luscious bouncy curls. For each of these hairstyles, you need different styling tools.

The Secret to Washing Your Hair Less
As the darker nights and colder weather starts drawing in, let’s be honest, the last thing we want to do is lose precious time cosy under the covers to get up and wash our hair each morning. For many of us, this laborious task has been a ritual since our school days, and we can’t imagine not washing our hair each and every morning. The fear of greasy hair, smelly hair or visible dandruff is enough to get us up and in the shower. Well, what if we told you that you don’t actually need to wash your hair every day, and many professionals advise against every day or excessive washing?
Game changer, we know! Although the opinions between the experts can be divided on this topic and have been for some time, the overwhelming advice tends to be to avoid overzealous washing. Washing your hair too often can be both drying and damaging, and the chemicals found in many shampoos can strip your hair of its natural oils and dull your hair colour.
How often you need to wash your hair is of course down to the individual and many contributing factors such as your hair type, texture and colour, as well as your lifestyle. However, if you want to know the secret to washing your hair less, just keep reading for our top tips!
If you’ve been committed to the daily hair wash for years, we don’t expect you to switch to once or twice a week straight away! Why don’t you try every other day instead and slowly increase the time between washes?
Did you know that when you shampoo daily, you strip your scalp and hair of the oil you naturally produce, and over time, this can cause your sebaceous glands to start producing more oil to compensate? As you extend the time between washes, your hair will gradually produce less and less oil as you are no longer stripping your strands of the natural and essential oils your scalp produces. If you continue to do this for the first few weeks, eventually you’ll notice that you will be able to last days until the next hair wash.
Most shampoos contain detergents called sulfates that can over-cleanse and dry out your scalp. To keep the greasiness to a minimum, opt for gentle, sulfate-free shampoo formulas to cleanse your strands without stripping your scalp or hair of the oils that are necessary for strong, healthy hair. Check out the Insight range, as all of the shampoos are sulfate-free to lock in hydration and moisture whilst leaving a refreshed and smooth finish.
The go-to hair saviour, dry shampoos like the Foamie Dry Shampoo can be used daily to keep your hair looking fresh, and will soak up any excess oil, whilst adding enviable texture and volume. To make the dry shampoo even more effective, try spraying it before you go to bed to stop greasy hair in its tracks and prevent oil build-up overnight (when your scalp produces the most oil) rather than trying to counter it.
Air drying is, of course, the most damage-free way to dry your hair. However, it can be time-consuming so using a leave-in conditioner on the ends of your hair after washing, can actually keep your hair looking smooth and sleek, whilst reducing your drying time. We recommend Matrix Total Results Brass Off Leave In Crème, particularly for blondes struggling with brassy tones, as it helps to seal the hair cuticles and safeguards the hair strands against heat damage.
For those days you need to blow dry your hair, just make sure to use a protectant such as the NOW Styling – Up to 230′ Heat Protect Spray, a protective and conditioning spray with excellent antistatic and film-forming properties that offers complete heat protection. It also ensures a faster blow-dry which means there’s less heat on your hair. Less heat equals healthier hair.
If you’ve made it to day 3 or 4 without a wash and are struggling to resist the temptation, extend for 1 more day by rocking a ponytail, sleek low bun or messy side braid. At this point you’ll likely have a good bit of both product build-up and oil in your hair but not to worry, the build-up will actually help your hair stay in place and pulling it back will disguise the dirty factor. Secure your do with an Invsibobble, which will lock it firmly in place and protect your hair from damage, whilst the range of styles and colours will add a pop of fun to your look.
Give our top tips a go and see for yourself how easy it can be to wash your hair less! As we said, everyone’s hair and lifestyle’s are different so it’s all about seeing what works for you. But if there’s a chance of having healthier and more manageable hair, and a few extra precious minutes in bed each morning, then we are definitely giving it a go!

Our Top Tips to Tame Dry and Frizzy Hair
As we leave summer behind, we enter into that dreaded time of year where the weather just can’t make up its mind. If you already suffer from dry or frizzy hair, stepping out into high humidity and excess moisturise in the air can rapidly turn your sleek locks into a lions mane!
Almost all of us battle frizz, with many of us admitting it’s our biggest hair bugbear. In fact, research by Schwarzkopf Professional has revealed that 1 in 5 women in the UK feel dry and frizzy hair is their main hair woe. Also surprisingly, the study showed that women are now more concerned about keeping their hair sleek and smooth than they are about growing greys.
Don’t get us wrong, frizzy hair is 100% natural and beautiful and there’s no need to ‘tame’ it if you don’t want to. But if it’s caused by dry or damaged hair, or if you want to rock a smoother and sleeker style, it can be a real nuisance.
The first step to taming frizzy dry hair is understanding what frizz is. In short, when your hair gets dried out or is naturally dry, the cuticles on the outer layer of your hair strands rise, allowing moisture to enter the hair strand. When the hair strand plumps, it becomes dry, frizzy and unruly. Some people are more prone to dry and frizzy hair, whereas others are victims of overbrushing, over styling or humidity. Whatever the cause, keep reading for our top tips to help tame dry and frizzy hair for good!
Hair oils are one of the most hydrating and multi-use products to have in your repertoire. Use it on wet hair from your mid-lengths to ends to protect hair from the heat whilst drying, on dry hair overnight to inject some moisturise whilst sleeping, or at any time during the day to add a little extra shine and smooth flyaways. The Matrix Oil Wonders Egyptian Hibiscus Colour Caring Oil is perfect for protecting coloured hair but the revitalising formula works just as well on all hair types to transform dry, coarse and unruly hair into a softer, shiner and frizz-free locks.
A great hairdryer can really lay the foundation for smoother hair and can help to smooth frizz from the get-go. Enter the Babyliss Keratin Lustre Dryer. The Lustre Dryers are specially designed to protect your hair from the damaging effects of dryer heat, allowing you to achieve professional salon-style results at home. What’s more, they feature keratin-infused ceramic. The keratin fills in the gaps in your hair strands whilst the ceramic smooths hair to reduce frizz, leaving you with an incredibly silky finish.
Many shampoos have high alcohol content or sulphates which can strip the hair of moisture. Instead, look for shampoos with hydrating ingredients such as glycerine, which penetrates your hair strands to hydrate from the inside out, whilst also creating a protective coating over your hair strands. Try Insight Anti Frizz – Hydrating Shampoo, created specifically for frizzy, dry and difficult to manage hair. The soothing properties of the natural extracts reduce frizz and deeply moisturise the hair fibre.
Conditioner is your number one weapon when dealing with frizzy dry hair. Be sure to use a rich conditioner, applying from mid-lengths down to the ends, every time you wash your hair. This will help to seal the hair cuticles to prevent humidity from entering into the hair. For a little extra TLC, use a hair mask 2-3 times a week for an extra moisture boost. Our personal favourite has to be The Hair Movement The Miracle Masque which is not only suitable for all hair types but is vegan and cruelty-free and will leave your locks shiny, bouncy and healthy.
Pick your favourite scrunchie from Invisbobble and use this to gently secure your hair overnight, wrapping it up in a loose bun. The soft satin-like material of the Invisibobble Slim Sprunchie keeps your hair tangle free whilst you’re sleeping and will keep it protected from frizz and broken strands.
Incorporate some of these top tips into your daily hair care routine and say goodbye to dry frizzy hair and hello to softer and sleeker locks! For more information or more handy hips, get in touch with our friendly team today.
