Glass Hair: The Ultimate Guide to Achieving Shiny, Sleek Locks

PSA: The glass hair trend is taking over the world. This trend has been making waves in the beauty industry, taking over red carpets and social media feeds. But what exactly is glass hair, and how can you achieve this glossy look at home? 

What is the Glass Hair Trend? 

Imagine hair so smooth and shiny that it reflects light like a mirror, giving it a glass-like appearance. That's exactly what the glass hair trend is all about. A style that’s ultra-straight, ultra glossy… for ultimate sophistication and glamour. 

The term "glass hair" was created because of the sleek, polished finish it creates, reminiscent of a smooth glass surface. This trend has gained popularity for its ability to make hair look incredibly healthy, vibrant, and well-maintained. 

Tips for Achieving the Glass Hair Trend 

Now let's delve into how you can achieve this stunning look yourself. With the right techniques and products, you can transform your locks into a glossy mane at home with these 8 steps.   

1. Start with a Clean Slate

Achieving glass hair begins with a clean slate, so make sure to start with freshly washed hair. Second day hair works for a lot of styles, but for glass hair you want to ensure hair is freshly washed with no product build up. Use a clarifying shampoo to remove any product build-up or impurities that might dull your hair's shine. The Frizz Fix™ Shampoo is powered by KeraFUSION™ and a metal detox technology to remove dulling metals and minerals found in everyday shower water that build up on your hair, for brighter colour, 78% less breakage and frizz-free hair from the inside.  

2. Hydrate and Nourish

Healthy hair is the foundation of the glass hair trend. Keep your locks hydrated and nourished by adding a moisturising conditioner into your hair care routine. Look for products infused with ingredients like coconut oil or keratin to help restore moisture and promote shine. Try the Frizz Fix™ Conditioner for 78% less breakage and frizz-free hair from the inside. For extra nourishment use a Hair Mask from tips to roots – Urgent Repair is packed Avocado Oil and Kale extract to nourish, moisturise and add shine. Avoid Frizz with a Serum or Oil 

3. Avoid Frizz with a Serum or Oil  

A smoothing serum or oil is a must-have product for achieving glass hair. The Frizz Oil™ smooths out frizz by up to 98% in high humidity, for an instant sleek transformation. Apply a small amount of serum evenly throughout your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. This will help tame frizz, add shine, and create a smooth, sleek finish.

4. Protect Your Hair

Always protect your glass hair from heat damage by using a heat protectant spray before styling with hot tools. This will create a barrier between your hair and the heat, minimising damage and helping your style last longer. Blow out Frizz Styling Cream protects hair up to 230 degrees and will leave hair 5x smoother hair in a single blow out. 

5. Give yourself a Blow Out

Before using a flat iron, it's essential to dry thoroughly. Use a round brush and a blow dryer to smooth out your hair as much as possible before straightening. Aim the nozzle downward to help seal the cuticle and minimise frizz. 

6. Flat Iron in Fine Sections  

When straightening your hair, take small sections and glide the flat iron down each one slowly and evenly. Avoid using too much heat, as this can damage your hair and lead to breakage. Opt for a lower heat setting and increase it gradually if necessary. 

7. Finish with the Right Products 

Once you've straightened your hair to perfection, finish off the look with a spritz spray or clay to seal the style in place. Fuzz-Off™ Control Clay will instantly fix frizz, banish root fuzz and unruly fly-aways… whatever the weather. 

8. Maintain regular trims 

To keep your glass hair looking its best, it's essential to maintain regular trims. The ends of glass hair are typically blunt cut and split ends can make your hair appear dull and lifeless, so schedule a trim every 6-8 weeks to keep your ends healthy and prevent breakage.
