While we tell you more about What you should know about Hair dusting trend, let us introduce you to who brought this trend forward. It was LA hair stylist, Sal Salcedo that introduced the concept of hair dusting to the world, and now it is the next best thing to a haircut and is turning into a major craze as well. A little hair dust powder and a specialist using the right hair dusting technique will do the job.
This is a technique that will help smoothen your hair out. It would snip a little of the best hair first, which then would allow all the bad hair to come to the surface, which further then gets snipped. So, you would be losing all the bad hair more and not the good hair, and hence there is nothing to worry.
Way to dust your hair?
- To begin with, your hair first needs to be divided into equal proportions. This should be done so that you focus and concentrate on one section at a time.

- Now take each row and twist it between your index finger and the middle finger. This helps bring out the damaged ends to the forefront and pop up, and this exposes the hair which you would need to dust at the end.
- If you do see a knot or a split end, you would then need to trim just an inch at the strands end. This would be just enough to get the damaged ends removed.
