High Gloss Finish: Glass Hair

Incredibly soft, silky, and sleek tresses

By Amanda Pennock

Luxurious and high-class sleek hair is captivating social media feeds and red-carpet events. Glass hair is the newest trend that leaves hair shiny, glossy, and sleek to the point of being reflective like glass. The best part about it? You can do this all in the comfort of your own home with a few simple products. This step-by-step tutorial is a simple way to transform your hair in the best way possible.

Clean It Up

The first step is to shampoo and condition your hair. Specialists recommend using shine-boosting products, particularly oil based, both in the shower and after. Pro-tip: Add them to your conditioner or apply leave-in conditioner for added shine and moisture.

Protect It

Next, you will want a reliable ‘heat protectant product’ to apply to your hair. This step is extremely important in achieving a sleek and frizz-free look.

Bring the Heat

After your hair is prepped, it is time to style. Flat ironing in ultra-fine sections is the absolute key to creating a high gloss look. Make sure to brush the hair while ironing and pull down on each strand to ensure you are flattening each section.

Lock it Down

For best results, professionals recommend to lock down your look with an anti-frizz hairspray or mist oil. Instead of spraying directly onto your hair, apply it to your hairbrush and evenly brush through the ends for even distribution and to enhance that glamorous, silky finish.

Voila! It’s time to show off your eye-catching, incredibly polished, “high-glassed” hair. n
