Between the rise of hair glosses and the virality of the Abbey Yung hair method, it only makes sense that everyone's newest obsession is achieving glass hair.
Glass hair is characterized by glossy locks with a mirror-like shine free of frizz and breakage. The concept is similar to that of glass skin, only for your hair.
How To Get Glass Hair
To achieve the glass hair look, the key is all in the hair cuticle. The cuticle is directly related to hair health, and therefore should be the essential target of your hair care routine if glass hair is the goal.
When the hair cuticle is compromised, strands become weak and dull, moisture levels decline, and breakage becomes noticeable, according to expert sources.
To aid in damage repair and sealing the hair cuticle, opt for products with ingredients like glycolic acid, amino acids, proteins, lipids, and fatty acids. The result is silky smooth hair with a glossy finish.
We found several top-rated products packed with these nourishing ingredients from hair oil and heat protectant to hydrating masks and gloss treatments.
Consider this the ultimate guide to glass hair. Shop the best products to achieve the glass hair trend below.
