How to Achieve The Glass Hair Look

by | Apr 12, 2023 | Hair

The glass hair look is taking over the world. By that, we mean red carpets and social media feeds everywhere. Prepping your strands for an epic glass hair look is just as effortless as the flawless finale. In fact, it probably won’t take you more than 10 minutes from start to finish (if you have a flat iron, hairspray and a brush, you’ll be as good as gold). Curious to find out how to try the ethereally smooth and sleek trend for yourself? We’re breaking down everything you need to know.

1. Prep The Hair

The glass hair trend refers to hair that is super smooth and shiny, almost to the point of being reflective like glass. Second-day hair works well for a lot of styles, but you’ll want to ensure your hair is freshly moisturised and has no build-up whatsoever.

2. Flat Iron in Fine Sections

For most hair types, we recommend a smooth blowdry before using the flat iron to help minimise the amount of time you’re using the flat iron on your hair. Taking ultra-fine sections (versus large chunks) and straightening them with a flat iron is the absolute key for nailing the glass hair look.

3. Brush While You Straighten

Brushing whilst straightening ensures your hair will be as smooth and frizz free as possible. It will also make straightening your hair much easier and quicker.

Finish With The Right Products

Finish the look with anti-frizz hairspray to ensure the style is locked all day long and use a few spritzes of shine spray. Instead of spraying directly on the hair, spray your hairbrush with the hairspray, then brush through the ends for even distribution.
