Is your hair straight, wavy or curly,? Is it fine, medium, or thick? Does your scalp get oily, dry, or stay balanced?
Checkout our recent blog to help identify your hair type!
Are you going to use hair oil to address your dryness, split ends, or frizz? Is it going to be used for hair loss or thinning? What is your scalp condition like? Do you have dandruff or sensitivity? Is your hair colour-treated or chemically-treated hair?
In the morning, you can gently cleanse with a suitable shampoo,use conditioner in the ends, and use leave-in products for styling or protection (such as heat protectant, volumising spray, etc.). In the evening, you can apply hair oil or serum for hydration, and brush gently to distribute.
We are all guilty of overusing heat tools. You can use hair oil to restore the hair from the resulting damage and dryness caused by using heat styling. Additionally, you can use alternative stylings such as air-drying tips or heat-free waves.
In the winter, combat dryness with a combination of masks and hair oils. In the summer, use the right hair oils to protect your hair from UV, chlorine, etc.
There are many varieties of hair oils that you can use for your hair. Here, we list down the top 5 based on their benefits and popularity:
Argan Oil is best for dry, frizzy, or damaged hair. More commonly known as ‘liquid gold’ as it is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants. It helps moisturise, smooth out frizz, and add shine without weighing down your hair. Apply a small amount to damp or dry hair and focus on the mid-lengths and ends.
We recommend using Schwarzkopf Oil Ultime Finishing Oil Argan 100ml designed for normal to thick hair types it softens and enhances the natural shine of the hair helping to defrizz and protect the hair.
It is best for extremely damaged hair. Wheat is a protein that strengthens the hair shaft, provides moisture and adds shine to your hair. It can also provide a great benefit to people with thinning hair.
We recommend Loreal Serie Expert Absolut Repair Serum Oil 90ml a high performance treatment that will instantly reconstruct your hair!
It is best for weak, thinning hair or promoting growth. It is high in ricinoleic acid and boosts circulation to the scalp, strengthens strands, and encourages hair growth. Massage into the scalp for a growth-boosting treatment, or mix with a lighter oil like coconut for easier application.
Jojoba Oil is best for oily scalp, dandruff, or sensitive skin. It mimics the natural sebum of the scalp, helping balance oil production and soothe dryness. It is lightweight and non-greasy. Apply directly to the scalp for a soothing treatment or use a few drops on the ends for hydration.
For those with curls we suggest using Matrix A Curl Can Dream Oil 150ml infused with sunflower seed oil also. This is the perfect finisher to separate out curls and add shine.
It is best for stressed hair and scalp care. It is rich in vitamins which help in prompting hair growth and also includes anti-inflammatory properties to help soothe the scalp.
For the best care we suggest Schwarzkopf Oil Ultime Finishing Oil Rose 100ml is a weightless formula adds shine without weighting the hair down.
Hair oils are the most natural means of protecting and nourishing your hair.
Here are some of the benefits you can get by adding hair oiling to your hair care routine:
Hair oils penetrate the hair shaft to deliver essential nutrients, vitamins, and fatty acids. They restore moisture, leaving hair soft, smooth, and manageable, especially for dry or damaged strands.
Oils like castor and argan oil help reinforce the hair’s structure, reducing split ends and breakage. Regular oiling coats and protects the hair, preventing wear and tear caused by styling or environmental factors.
Massaging oil into the scalp increases blood circulation, promoting healthier hair growth. Certain oils, like tea tree or jojoba, also help soothe scalp conditions like dandruff, dryness, or itchiness.
Oils form a protective barrier around the hair, shielding it from heat styling, UV rays, and pollution. Coconut oil, in particular, helps minimise protein loss during washing and heat exposure.
Hair oils smooth the cuticle, reducing frizz and enhancing natural shine. They also tame flyaways and make hair look healthier and more polished.
Since you may have a unique hair type, your hair oiling routine will differ from individuals with other hair types.
Here’s how:
For your hair type, it is recommended that you use jojoba oil or argan oil. The jojoba oil is lightweight and non-greasy and it hydrates without weighing hair down. The argan oil adds shine and smoothness while being gentle on fine hair. These oils mimic natural sebum and provide hydration and protection without making hair limp.
For your hair type, your recommended hair oils are coconut oil or shea butter oil. The coconut oil deeply moisturises and tames frizz. The shea butter oil adds intense hydration and makes thick hair more manageable. Thicker hair types benefit from heavier oils that can penetrate deeply and provide long-lasting hydration.
For your hair type, it is recommended that you use castor oil or sweet almond oil. The castor oil promotes growth and locks in moisture, perfect for curl definition. The sweet almond oil softens hair and enhances curl texture. These oils combat dryness and help curls maintain their natural bounce and definition.
For hair that is usually oily, it is recommended that you use grapeseed oil or diluted tea tree oil. The grapeseed oil balances scalp oil production and is ultra-lightweight. While using a diluted version of the tea tree oil soothes the scalp and combats excess oil or dandruff. These lightweight, clarifying oils help balance the scalp without clogging your pores.
For dry and damaged hair, you should use olive oil or avocado oil. The olive oil is intensely nourishing and helps repair damaged strands. The avocado oil is rich in vitamins and fatty acids for deep repair. These oils restore lost moisture and help heal brittle or chemically treated hair.
Here are some of the common mistakes in hair oiling and how to avoid them:
The Problem:
You apply excessive oil which can leave your hair greasy and weigh it down, and make it hard to wash out.
How to Avoid:
Start with 1–2 pumps or a teaspoon of oil and add more only if needed, depending on your hair length and thickness.
The Problem:
You apply oil to dirty hair and the oil doesn’t penetrate as effectively when applied to your hair coated with dirt, sweat, or product buildup.
How to Avoid:
Always apply oil to clean, slightly damp hair for better absorption.
The Problem:
You ignore the scalp and it misses out on stimulating growth. And by neglecting your ends, you can leave them dry and prone to breakage.
How to Avoid:
Massage oil into the scalp to promote blood flow, and focus on the ends to prevent splitting and dryness.
The Problem:
You do a quick wash and leave oil residue inside your hair. It can attract dirt and clog the scalp which results in dandruff or dull-looking hair.
How to Avoid:
Use a clarifying or sulphate-free shampoo and rinse thoroughly. You may need to shampoo twice for heavier oils like castor or coconut.
The Problem:
You don’t know which hair oil to use for your type and you end up using the wrong one. Remember thick oils such as coconut oil can weigh down fine hair, while lightweight oils such as jojoba may not provide enough moisture for coarse or curly hair.
How to Avoid:
Choose the right hair oils suited to your hair type. Read above where we discuss the best oils for your hair type.
Here are a few ways you can add more benefits and use your hair oil optimally for your hair type:
Warming the oil slightly (not too hot) helps it penetrate the hair shaft and scalp more effectively. Place the oil bottle in a bowl of warm water or heat a small amount in your palms before applying.
Massaging improves blood circulation, which nourishes hair follicles and encourages growth. Use your fingertips to massage in circular motions for 5–10 minutes after applying oil. This also helps reduce stress.
Leaving the oil on overnight gives it more time to work, deeply hydrating and repairing your hair. Apply oil generously, wrap your hair in a silk scarf or towel, and wash it out in the morning.
Steam opens up the hair cuticle, allowing the oil to penetrate deeply and lock in moisture. After applying oil, cover your hair with a hot towel for 15–20 minutes before rinsing.
Regular use of hair oil builds long-term strength, moisture, and health for your hair. Incorporate oiling into your routine at least once a week for the best results.
Here are a few tools and accessories you can use for your hair oiling:
A great scalp massager brush enhances circulation while evenly distributing oil across the scalp. After applying oil, use the massager to gently rub the scalp in circular motions for 5–10 minutes.
The wide-tooth combs detangle your hair without causing breakage, ensuring oil is evenly distributed from roots to ends. Comb through oiled hair, starting from the ends and working your way up to avoid tangling.
The shower caps or microfibre towels trap heat, allowing the oil to penetrate deeper for a more effective treatment. Cover your oiled hair with a shower cap or wrap it in a hot, damp microfiber towel for 15–20 minutes.
Salon Trusted has a great range of hair oils for various hair types. We know that oiling your hair means giving it the best natural nourishment out there.

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:
Before you do anything, here are a few tips for preparing your hair to straighten it at home using the best tools and products:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Here are some tips that will help you to avoid damaging your hair while using heat styling tools on your hair:
Don’t overdo it. Don’t use too much heat too often. Too much exposure to heat can cause lasting damage to your hair.
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.
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 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:
Cons:
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:
Cons:
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Here are a few tips for taking care of your hair once you are done straightening your hair using a straightener or a hairdryer:
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.
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.
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.
Remember, at Salon Trusted, we always have the best products when it comes to hair care. Since straightening your hair involves heat-styling tools such as the Futaria range of hairdryers, straighteners and air stylers, we also have to understand what goes before, during and after the process.
Use the proper heat protectants before straightening your hair. Use the best seal-in products such as the Color Wow Dream Coat range. Take great care of your hair and always use the best professional hairstyling products.
Visit our Salon Trusted to find the right products for your before, during and after hair straightening journey.

Find The Best Tangle Teezer For Your Hair Type
Your haircare routine can never be a one-size-fits-all, every hair type is different, has unique challenges, and needs care in a certain way. At Salon Trusted, we believe in always providing you with the best haircare designed just for your hair, whether it’s straight and wavy, fine or fragile, thick or curly, or have tight curls and coils.
Similarly, Tangle Teezer follows the same philosophy. The popular brand has just the right tools for any hair type meaning you can find the right brush, comb and stying tool just for you! It’s a brand that knows hair isn’t just hair.
Here’s how to choose Tangle Teezer brushes for your hair type, but first understand how detanglers are helpful for all types of hair.
No matter your hair type, detangling brushes will always benefit your hair.
Here’s how they help every head of hair:
Detanglers smooth out hair cuticles and reduce friction and snagging that may lead to hair fall and breakage. They help in gently untangling knots and ensure a smooth brushing experience without pulling out your strands.
No matter your hair type, straight, wavy, curly, coiled. A detangling brush will always help your hair’s overall manageability. It will make your hair softer, more pliable, and easier to style. It will always give you more control over your look and styling.
Coupling detanglers with hydrating hair care such as oiling and scalp treatments will help in locking in the moisture and keep your hair and scalp hydrated. This is crucial for all hair types as it prevents dryness, split ends, and other hair-damaging factors.
Straight and wavy hair can often seem like the easiest to manage, but it has its unique challenges too.
Here are a few indicators that put your hair type in this category:
Straight and wavy hair reflects light easily making it appear naturally shiny. If your hair shines naturally and has little to no frizz, you are likely in this category.
Straight and wavy hair often struggles to hold certain hairstyles such as curls, braids, and coils, for an extended period. Your hair will look great when styled, but the bounce and wave will gradually fall out. If it does, you are in this category.
Straight and wavy hair is prone to oil buildup at the roots. If your scalp feels greasy or your hair looks flat by the end of the day, you’ve likely got straight or wavy hair.
Tangle Teezer detanglers have unique flexible teeth that gently glide through straight or wavy hair without snagging. They help reduce the buildup of oil at the roots by evenly distributing natural oils throughout the hair, resulting in a beautiful shine and a fresh look.
Here are the Tangle Teezer detangling Brushes for straight and wavy hair available on SalonTrusted:
Fine or fragile hair needs tender and loving care. It is delicate and can easily break or become damaged. How to choose Tangle Teezer for fine or fragile hair also depends on first identifying if you have fine or fragile hair.
Here are a few indicators that put your hair type in the fine or fragile hair category:
If you find stray hairs on your brush, clothes, or around the house, or if your hair tends to snap easily when combing, you may have fine or fragile hair.
Fine hair appears flat and struggles to hold volume. If your hair feels lightweight and lacks thickness or density, it’s likely fine or fragile.
Fine hair often has a mind of its own. If you find your hair floating or sticking up after brushing or in certain weather conditions like humidity, dry air, etc., you likely have fine or fragile hair.
Designed with delicate hair in mind, Tangle Teezer detanglers feature softer bristles that minimise tension and prevent breakage. They are perfect for fragile strands, reducing static and flyaways while adding volume and lift for a fuller appearance.
Here are the Tangle Teezer detanglers for fine or fragile hair available on SalonTrusted:
Thick or curly hair is full of character and texture, but it requires more attention to detail. So, always choose the best Tangle Teezer for curly hair.
Here are a few indicators that put your hair type in the thick or curly category:
If your hair feels heavy and you can gather a lot of it in your hand, then you have thick hair. If a single ponytail seems to weigh a ton, you likely have thick hair.
Curly or thick hair is prone to tangling, especially when left loose or unattended for a while. If you have to constantly deal with knots and tangles after a shower or during your morning routine, you fall into this category.
Thick and curly hair can dry out quickly. It needs regular hydration and moisture. If your hair craves regular deep conditioning, hair treatments or oils, then it is thick or curly.
Thick and curly hair requires special attention, and Tangle Teezer detanglers offer them this special care and attention. Their long and sturdy teeth reach through thick or curly hair without pulling or tugging. The detanglers make the entire experience a breeze. They also help define curls and leave them bouncy and full of life.
Here are the Tangle Teezer detanglers for thick and curly hair available on SalonTrusted:
Tight curls and coils are stunning and versatile, but they can be the most challenging to manage. How to choose Tangle Teezer for tight curls and coils depends on first knowing if your hair is this type.
Here are a few indicators that put your hair type in the thick or curly category:
If your hair looks significantly shorter when wet compared to when it’s dry, you likely have tight curls or coils. Shrinkage is a hallmark of this hair type.
Hair that feels more coarse or rough and absorbs moisture quickly are often tightly curled or coiled. This hair type has higher porosity, meaning it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Tight curls and coils can interlock with each other and make detangling an essential part of your hair care routine. If your hair forms small knots or tangles even after a short while, your hair type is tight curls and coils.
Tangle Teezer detanglers are a game-changer for everyone who has tight curls and coils. Their detanglers have unique teeth technology that allows for deep detangling without stripping away moisture. This is essential for maintaining healthy yet hydrated curls. The detanglers elongate the curls while reducing shrinkage as well.
Here are the Tangle Teezer detanglers for tight curls and coils available on Salon Trusted:
Tangle Teezer are known for their versatility. They are perfect for use on wet hair, ideal for on-the-go touch-ups, and amazing for detangling your hair in every situation. Their quality makes them built to last. The Tangle Teezer detangler you buy will stay with you for a great while making it worth the money you spend!
Here are some of the ways using detanglers can benefit you:
A good detangler helps you glide through knots and tangles effortlessly. It cuts down the time you spend on hair care routines. It is perfect for busy mornings and post-workout showers.
Detanglers reduce the pulling and tugging that irritates the scalp. They make hair care more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone who may have sensitive scalps or tenderness to them.
Detanglers smooth the hair cuticle. They reduce frizz and give hair a sleek and shiny finish. They are a quick and easy way to enhance your hair’s natural beauty without additional products.
Regular use of a detangler reduces breakage and split ends. It promotes good health for your hair over time. It’s like giving your hair an extra layer of protection every day.
Detanglers create a smooth base for any hairstyle, whether you’re blow drying, curling, or straightening. They prime the hair for heat styling tools and make the process easier and more effective.

Hot Curl Summer – Curly Hair in the Heat
Since summer is here, you may be heading out to the sun, sea, and sand. But if you have curly hair, the heat and humidity will pose a few challenges, you’ll likely have been facing the same hair issues all these years!
At Salon Trusted, we understand that curly hair differs from every other type of hair. If you have been blessed with curly hair, you already know that your hair is more porous, and it absorbs and loses moisture faster than other types. What does that do? Instead of giving you the ideal bouncy ringlets of your dreams, you end up with a frizzy untameable lion’s mane.
Don’t worry, read this blog where we share numerous tips on how to protect your hair against the summer heat, how to keep your hair curly and bouncy, and what curly haircare products to use.
First of all, we need to understand how curly hair is different from every other type. We know you already know how it appears different, but we mean to make you understand why it ‘behaves’ differently. Curly hair strands grow in spirals with a comparatively higher number of twists and bends than straight hair. Since the natural oils from your scalp find it harder to travel from the roots down to the tip of each strand, your curly hair becomes prone to dryness and frizz. Additionally, there are so many subtypes within the curly hair type, since each curl can develop its personality and needs, just like you – unique down to the core! All this can make your curly hair slightly more high maintenance than the rest of the hair types.
Here are some easy-to-remember tips that will help you protect your beautiful curly hair against the summer heat:
Always keep yourself properly hydrated. Drinks loads of water. The more you drink, the more your curls will stay hydrated. Water is an essential ingredient in keeping your moisture levels in check and avoiding frizz easily.
If you wash your hair too often, it removes all the essential natural oils that keep your hair moisturised and healthy. Washing your hair once or twice a week is a good practice. Matrix A Curl Can Dream Shampoo and Conditioner Litre Duo.
It is always advisable to use a heat protectant before you use any kind of heat-styling tool. It will keep your curls protected from the damaging effects of high temperatures.
Just like how your skin needs UV protection from harmful sun rays, your hair needs it too. Use UV hair protection products that will keep your curls safe.
We all enjoy a dip in the pool to cool down during the summer. But remember that chlorine is the enemy of curly hair and it can break and dry up your hair. Before dipping into the pool, use a leave-in conditioner to create a barrier. Once you are out of the pool, thoroughly rinse, and then condition your curly hair.
The summer sun can easily dry up your curls. Deep conditioning your curly hair regularly with mask found on Salon Trusted.
Embrace your natural curls during the summertime. Don’t over-style your hair as it may deprive your curly hair of the moisture and oils it needs. Don’t weigh down your hair with too many products.
Here is a list of 5 easy and quick tips for curly hair care during the summer:
Try using a curl-refreshing spray to rejuvenate your curls between washes. It will help you redefine your curls and reduce the amount of frizz for the entire day.
Do not use tight hair ties. Instead, try using soft scrunchies or spiral hair ties as these will have a limiting effect on your curls. Tighter hair ties can easily damage your hair and affect your curling pattern. You can browse the accessories sections on Salon Trusted to find the right scrunchies and spiral hair ties.
Natural hair oils are the best way to rejuvenate your natural curls. They can help lock in moisture and nourish your curls with the right ingredients. Apply small amounts to keep your curls shiny and hydrated. Try Insight Elasti-Curl – Bouncy Curls Hair Oil or the Matrix A Curl Can Dream Oil.

There’s a new wave of bobs sweeping Hollywood. Everywhere you look, every other celebrity is donning a bob. There are so many variations to the classic bob that you can witness on the red carpet, movie premiers, and talk shows and events. Some of these are shoulder-length bobs, jaw-length bobs, Italian bobs, choppy chin-length bobs, curly bobs, soft curved bobs, cheekbone-grazing 90s bobs, Pulp Fiction’s Mia Wallace-inspired bobs, blunt bobs, and so many more.
Here are a few pictures for your inspiration:
This hairstyle is versatile because it works for any type of hair, curly, silky, etc. And you can always switch up the style by trying out a new texture or making it with a new part.
If you’ve got curly hair, the classic shaggy style is a great look for the summer. It’s instant, requires minimal effort, and looks flawlessly messy. Some popular variations are short and wild shag, the modern shag, the short shag, the shoulder-cut shag, shaggy bangs, and more.
The shaggy look is quick and easy, layer it up, or tie it up in a ponytail for that summer heat. It’s easy to handle and easy to style.
Here are a few pictures to inspire you:
If you have angular or pixie-esque face features, you can don a pixie cut. This very sleek and short hairstyle has been trending a lot for two years now with some of the A-list celebrities showcasing it at major events. Florence Pugh, Zoe Kravitz, Emma Corrin, and more have been seen with pixie cuts that have stolen hearts at movie premieres.
Since it’s a small and easy-to-maintain cut, it goes well with oval faces, round faces, and even heart-shaped faces.
Here are a few pictures to inspire you:
This is a longer variation of the bob, also called the ‘lob’. For finer hair, and with a good volume, it’s a great hairstyle to wear this summer. It’s easy to maintain and you can keep it at the chin or to the shoulder, it’s up to you. It can be tied back in a ponytail for a fresher look and to beat the summer heat. It has been used to create a flattering and balanced look.
Many celebrities have been recently seen donning it everywhere, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Rihanna, and Claire Danes among a few.
Here are a few pictures to inspire you:
Bangs will never go out of style. They are in this summer as well. The macro bangs have been trending since the Paris Fashion Week, and after the 2024 Grammy Awards, the bangs made a comeback. Celebrities like Lana Del Rey and Anne Hathaway have been seen gracing the bangs at a few award shows.
The bangs are versatile too, as these can be styled with short hair lengths as well as longer lengths that go down to the shoulders or bust.
Here are a few pictures to inspire you:
Long layers are in style and these involve cutting the hair at different lengths to add volume, texture, and movement, all the while maintaining length.
Last year, we witnessed one-length longer styles, popularly called ‘waterfall layers’, but this year, we have so many variations of the layers seen on celebrities.
The best thing about the layers is that it is suitable for most hair lengths and hair volume. You can play around and create a look that best suits you. Some popular variations include long layers, choppy layers, textured layers, flippy layers, shaggy layers and more.
Here are a few pictures to inspire you:
We hope you can get inspired by the hairstyles we have mentioned above. Depending on your hair type you have, go ahead and try out the hairstyles that match your energy and vibe.

Salon Trusted Guide to Damaged Hair and How to Prevent It
SalonTrusted.com believes everyone is entitled to beautiful, healthy, and strong hair. We ensure this is possible by offering you the very best professional hair supplies and products to help your hair stay great.
Many tell-tale signs can help you identify if your hair is getting damaged. If you act timely, you can ensure that the damage is stopped and nurtured back to health.
There can be numerous reasons for hair damage including excessive exposure to heat, being chemically treated, inconsistent and unhealthy diet, too much brushing, over washing, bleach, dye, stress, and more.
In this blog, we’ll showcase great hair products that will help you stop the damage, and repair it. You won’t have to worry about how to protect damaged hair.
Below we will also be comparing the top two hair products we recommend for hair damage. These are the Matrix Biolage Strength Recovery range and the Matrix Biolage Bond Therapy; the former helps in repairing damage done by heat exposure and the latter helps in repairing hair damage caused by overprocessed and chemical treatments.
Here are some of the most common signs to look for when identifying hair damage:
You may end up with frizzy hair if you are using the wrong hair products for your hair type. This type of hair becomes unmanageable and is often a sign of hair damage.
Frizzy hair can be managed using hair products that are right for your hair type. You can often remedy frizzy hair by simply getting frequent haircuts as split ends are a common occurrence when growing out your hair.
Use Biolage Smoothproof Range to help combat your frizz!
2. Hair turning grey
If you inherited early greying of hair from your paternal or maternal side, there isn’t much to remedy that. Genetics cannot be altered using hair products.
However, a few scientific studies suggest that low levels of copper, zinc, iron, ferritin, vitamin D-3, and calcium may cause your hair to turn grey prematurely.
Some of the common remedies for greying hair are taking a balanced diet, using herbs, and regularly taking supplements.
Better yet why not embrace your hair turning grey!
3. Coarse or dry hair
Once again, exposure to heat can also cause your hair to become coarse and dry. This may be due to the haircare devices you use.
Other reasons may include over washing, bleaching, using hair dyes, and chemically treating your hair with harmful or cheap hair products.
If your hair is either coarse or dry we would recommend using Biolage Hydrasource.
4. Hair thinning
Hair can easily start thinning if you are stressed a lot or if you have a poor diet, especially as you age.
Try to practise mindfulness to reduce your stress, and manage your anxiety to stop the triggers.
Find products for Hair loss and thinning here!
If your everyday hairstyles are created with the use of curling wands, hair dryers, and straighteners, you may end up damaging your hair.
Heat, if applied carefully, can help you style your hair into wondrous and beautiful styles. But a simple overexposure can damage your hair significantly.
At SalonTrusted.com, we offer a solution to hair damage caused by heat. Get the Matrix Biolage Strength Recovery products to nourish your hair back to life.
This range of hair products strengthens your weak hair, making it healthy and fresh once again!
The active ingredient in the Biolage Strength Recovery products is vegan squalane.
The benefits of using this range on your hair are repairing surface-level damage, strengthening fragile hair, and leaving your hair softer and shinier.
Get these hair products today at salon prices from our SalonTrusted.com website.
For all the people who frequently dye their hair, colour them, and get re-texturising treatments, we have bad news for you.
Harsh chemicals can progressively deteriorate the hair cuticles making them prone to breakage.
Fear not! Bond-building products such as the Matrix Biolage Bond Therapy products can help you bring your damaged hair back to life.
This range of hair products deeply cares for overprocessed bleached or chemically processed hair via its key natural ingredients coconut oil and citric acid.
The benefits of using Biolage Bond Therapy are reinforcement of weak bonds, less hair damage, hair feeling softer, and significantly more conditioned hair.
We would recommend using the entire range together and now you can get the range in a bundle at a discounted price so you can give your hair the treatment is deserves – Biolage Bond Therapy Bundle
Here is a comparison between both Biolage Ranges that we offer:
Experience:
The hairstylists and people who have used it have reported smooth locks, softer hair, and less damage after using Matrix Biolage Bond Therapy. Additionally, users have also claimed that their hair seems and feels significantly more conditioned after its use.
In summary, the Matrix Biolage Strength Recovery targets general hair strength and repair, while the Matrix Biolage Bond Therapy specifically addresses overprocessed hair with bond-building technology. Choose the one that is based on your hair’s unique needs.
Visit our Salon Trusted website to find hair products that can help you fight hair damage, and reverse the damage done so far. We strongly recommend the hair products from Matrix Biolage to help you get the best hair out there!
