Liquid hair, glass hair, call it what you want, the internet is obsessed. And if you’re not chronically online or a beauty girl, heads up – this trend has nothing to do with actual liquid or glass. Let me dive right in.
You know those days when your hair has that shine, that extra bounce and movement and you feel like all’s well in the world? Think of glass hair as an upgrade to that. Glass hair or liquid hair is all about the hair looking extremely lustrous, almost as shiny as a mirror with a free-flowing movement that makes it look almost liquid. You know the glass skin trend? Think of that but in the form of hair. Hydrated, healthy, and glossy. We’ve all seen it on our favourite celebrities and influencers.
Contrary to what the internet believes and depicts, liquid or glass hair does not pertain to one particular hair type – aka straight hair. Curly, wavy, and coily hair types can achieve glossy and free-flowing hair, as long as the hair is healthy and I can vouch for that.
How Do You Get Liquid Hair?
The fastest way to get liquid hair is through in-salon treatments. Hair botox and keratin treatments make the hair instantly smoother, sleeker, and frizz-free and deliver a high shine.
The drawback? These treatments wear off in a few months, leaving you with your original hair. They can also damage your hair slightly, as they use intense heat to lock protein into your hair. While these methods are quick, they’re not ideal for achieving the liquid hair look.
Healthier Ways To Get Liquid/Glass Hair
The Color Wow Dream Coat is the first product that almost runs synonymous with glass hair today. The anti-frizz treatment is meant to be sprayed liberally on damp hair. After this, you will need to blow dry your hair to activate the product.
The Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Sparkler Hair Styling Shine Spray works in a similar way. It is meant to be applied to damp or dry hair in short bursts, before blow drying and styling the hair.
The Kerastase Chroma Absolu Soin Acide Chroma Gloss is an in-shower hair gloss treatment that is meant to be applied after a hair wash for around 5-10 minutes and then rinsed out. It manages frizziness, gives the hair a natural lustre, and seals the hair surface.
The Kevin Murphy Crystal Angel Enhancing Shine Treatment is a similar hair treatment, meant to be applied on washed hair and meant to be rinsed out. It enhances the shine of the hair and leaves it feeling silky smooth.
When your hair is at its healthiest, every day is a good hair day. And shiny, glossy and free-flowing hair only means that your locks are at the peak of their health!
