Spring isn’t just a season. It’s an energy shift - a gentle nudge to refresh, reset, and reconnect. At Swanky Malone, we believe the new season is a perfect time to embrace softer styles, healthier habits, and conscious choices. That’s what this mini spring guide is all about.

Spring 2025 Hair Trends You’ll Love

This season, softness is the mood. From natural texture to bold shapes, these are the styles we’re loving in salon right now:

The Italian Bob ✨

Hailey Bieber chic: a blunt chin-length cut with a deep side part and soft waves. It brings a sense of structure while remaining ultra-feminine and low-effort. After a professional blunt cut with your stylist, products will be your best friend in maintaining this stunning look. Styling with a soft wave using a tong and a deep side part you may consider Authentic Beauty Concept Solid Pomade and Working Hairspray for shine and workable hold.

Face-Framing Bangs 😌

Sabrina Carpenter. These bangs blend the line between up-dos and natural flow, bringing a playful edge to your spring looks while maintaining versatility. Razored professionally into the right length by your stylist, the way to maintain this look is with a soft bend with tongs for the framing layers and a roller for the fringe. Thing finishing off the style with Authentic Beauty Concept Airy Texture Spray for lasting volume and flexible hold.

Copper Strawberry Blonde Waves 🌾

One of our favourites this season — a mix of light auburn and golden tones that catch the spring sun just right. Add soft waves for an effortless, sun-kissed look. You guessed it. styled with a tong taking slightly larger sections of the hair than usual. You want to prep the hair for this one with Indulging Fluid Oil and Amplify Mousse for shine, hold and protection against the intense heat of the tool ;) Want to learn more…keep reading

Authentic Beauty Concept: Conscious Hair Products That Work

So I have mentioned a few products to help style the fresh trends for this season. Let me delve into the must have prescription for all hair types this spring.

Our shelves at Swanky Malone are proudly stocked with Authentic Beauty Concept — not just because they look good (although they do), but because they feel right.

Here’s a closer look at the MVPs that are kind to your hair and the planet:

Hydrate Cleanser 🍑

Made with mango and basil extracts, this gentle cleanser brings moisture and elasticity back to dry, curly, or coarse hair. It soothes the scalp, improves hair texture, and leaves no buildup thanks to its sulfate-free, vegan formula. A true thirst-quencher for tired hair.

Glow Conditioner ✨

Infused with cinnamon and date extracts, this conditioner deeply nourishes and protects colour-treated hair. It smooths cuticles, enhances shine, and supports softness without any silicones or parabens — making it ideal for daily use and anyone seeking healthy vibrancy.

Glow Serum 💧

A hero multitasker. Featuring ruby algae (for repairing damaged cuticles) and deep sea water ferment (to improve hair moisture content), this weightless spray protects against heat styling and enhances colour longevity. Adds glassy shine without feeling sticky or heavy.

Amplify Mousse 🌬️

Lightweight with medium hold, this mousse contains jojoba oil and coconut oil, both known for nourishing and protecting the hair shaft. It gives body and bounce while offering heat protection up to 230°C — making it perfect for spring blowouts or air-dried texture.

Every product is:

💚 100% vegan & cruelty-free
♻️ Housed in sustainable packaging
🚿 Free from sulfates, parabens & artificial film-formers

These formulas are created with purpose — to let your hair move freely, feel clean, and stay healthy.

Swanky Malone’s Eco Salon Practices & Future Goals

This is about what we stand for.

I care about the planet. I’m conscious of what I use, what I waste, and what I support. And let’s be honest - hair salons produce a lot of waste. More than we realise.

That’s why at Swanky’s, we’re making real efforts to do better:

♻️ We use single-use towels that are fully biodegradable and compostable — saving energy, water, and reducing our carbon footprint by avoiding laundrette trips multiple times a week.
🌿 Our shelves are stocked with brands like Authentic Beauty Concept, because they align with our values.

Looking ahead, we’re planning to recycle our hair trimmings by partnering with Green Salon Collective — an incredible initiative that turns salon waste into resources:

Hair can help clean up oil spills
It can be used in animal habitats
And yes, it’s even compostable

Honestly, I hate how much rubbish our small salon can create in a single day. And we’re just one salon - among thousands in this city, and millions around the world. But if Swanky’s can grow and still do its bit, I’ll know our eco efforts are helping make a difference. 🌎

If you're as passionate about this as I am, give Green Salon Collective a look. What they’re doing is seriously inspiring.

Spring Mindset Reset: Why Just Showing Up is Enough

At the start of the year, there’s always this buzz… the resolutions, the reset, the motivation. But by spring? Life has crept in, and it’s easy to feel like we’re behind.

Let’s bring it back.

Spring is a second chance to bloom. It’s a natural reset, a reminder that we can start again, anytime.

Right now, I’m learning that growth isn’t about smashing big goals. It’s about turning up.

Some days I tick every box. Other days, I just show up. And honestly, that’s a win..

Showing up physically. Showing up mentally. Giving myself a chance to begin.

That’s where consistency lives. That’s where patience grows.

So let this be your sign to lean into the energy of spring - with softness, with presence, and with zero pressure to be perfect.

You don’t have to do it all. You just have to begin.

Sustainable Self-Care Rituals for Hair & Headspace

Sustainability isn’t just about the planet. It’s about how we care for ourselves too.

Simple rituals like washing your hair mindfully, brushing slowly, and choosing clean products are more than habits - they ground us. They remind us:

We’re allowed to slow down
We’re allowed to take care
We’re allowed to start again

Your haircare routine can become your reset button :)

Let Your Authentic Beauty Blossom

Spring doesn’t demand perfection. It invites presence.

Let your beauty be authentic. Let your hair reflect your energy. And let your values shine through the products you choose.
