JLo’s doing it; Kim K’s doing it; Dua Lipa’s doing it, and loads of our favourite A-listers are doing it too! Ultra-smooth, shiny, fluid-looking hair is taking our IG explore pages by storm and we’ve got all the deets. A similar fad called glass hair had a major moment in 2018 when mega slick bobs crept in to take the throne from beachy waves but unlike the super-sharp, sheet-like straightness that characterised the look, a new rendition- liquid hair – has come to take its place. The difference? It is silky straight, only a little softer, and offers more flow than glass hair. Think glossy movement like your favourite maple syrup.
Although celebs and Influencers tend to get this syrupy look with in-salon keratin treatment which helps in removing any or all of the frizz from your locks. However, with the right tools and products, the look can be swiftly achieved at home as well. So just in time for the holiday season, we’ve curated a step-by-step to help you serve show-stopping glossy locks.
The 5-Step Routine To Ace The Liquid Hair Fad Like Your Fave Celebs
Step 1: The Prep Step
Prep your hair with an anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner to get rid of frizz and add shine. This sets the base for the liquid hair. Follow it with an uber-nourishing mask like the one listed below. The reviews really say it all with this one: This blend is specifically formulated to look after hair that is weak and prone to falling due to breakage. It provides strength to the hair fibre and softens it, without weighing your hair down- basically ticking all the right boxes giving you shiny and healthy locks.
Step 2: Apply Serum To Add Shine
Coat wet hair with a hydrating anti-frizz product to help straighten and lockout the moisture for a long-lasting hold. We recommend using MyGlamm Superfoods Moringa And Onion Hair Serum. A real cult-favourite, it works to deliver long-term nourishment to damaged hair while simultaneously smoothing frizz and adding shine. Yup, you’ll get real salon-level results without bleeding your bank account.
Step 3: Blow-Dry Your Locks
Blow-dry hair as smooth as possible with a round brush. Want to give yourself a salon-finish blowout? Look no further as this hairbrush is raved about among stylists and hair experts alike, and it was designed specifically keeping curly hair in mind. That said, it glided smoothly on all kinds of hair textures with ripping, damaging or breaking it. This brush also comes in handy when you want to give your hair a sleek finish.
Step 4: Straighten Your Locks Using Small Sections
Touch up using a flat iron. Make sure you flat-iron your hair in small sections, using a paddle brush in front of the iron. Pay special attention to the ends, going over them with a flat iron to lock the style in place.
Step 5: Seal The Deal With A Finishing Spray
As the last step, eliminate frizz and flyaways with a finishing spray. We recommend using a shine-inducing spray that gives your hair that syrupy look. Opt for a spray like this because you want the finish to be glossy, without looking greasy or overly product-y.
