Glass Hair Trend: What It Is & How to Achieve Super Glossy, Reflective Shine
Ok, so what exactly is the glass hair trend?
Alright let’s get back to basics. If you’re into your skincare trends, chances are you’ve heard of the K-beauty trend, glass skin - skin that is so clear, glowy and hydrated that it looks like it could be made from glass. Then came glass nails and now it’s glass hair. Or in other words, hair that is so healthy that it has a reflective shine. Sounds pretty dreamy right?
I’m sold, so how can I get glass hair?
The foundation for getting super, shiny tresses is having healthy hair that is nourished and hydrated, so a good place to start is with a quality conditioner and leave-in mask and making sure you actually use them.
To achieve the sort of shine this trend calls for however, the best way is with a hair gloss. A hair gloss is a demi-permanent treatment that coats your hair, enhancing its natural beauty to give it an incredible glossy finish.
Can I get a hair gloss treatment at Vivo Salons?
Yes! We have Shinefinity Colour Gloss & Cut/Blow Wave packages that only take 60 minutes*! With an ammonia and silicone free formula, the Wella Shinefinity Zero Lift Glaze refreshes your existing colour or gives it a subtle new hue.
The package includes an in-depth consult, shampoo and conditioning treatment, Shinefinity Colour Gloss, a cut and blow wave finish and aftercare advice and styling recommendations.
*Long/thick hair may require more time.
Is it suitable for all hair types?
It’s suitable for all hair types, but it doesn’t provide grey coverage and the colour is just demi-permanent. If you’re after permanent colour, check out our packages here. Not sure if the Shinefinity Colour Gloss is the right treatment for you? No problem, Vivo stylists offer free consultations so if you want to confirm that this is the best package for you, or whether another service might be better, book in a complimentary consultation first!
