Much desired and searched for, Glass Skin has been all over the beauty sphere of late, with an abundance of products and aesthetic treatments specifically designed to give the complexion a flawlessly radiant, lit from within glow.

But why should our skin have all the fun? #GlassHair has taken TikTok by storm with over 450-million views, and refers to polished, mirror-like hair with a smooth-as-silk finish. Glossy hair equals healthy hair, and is the definition of that effortless clean girl aesthetic that many of us are looking to achieve.

“We’ve seen hair trends following beauty trends such as skinification—post Covid, we are living in this stripped back yet heightened world where we want the most shine, the utmost nourishment,” agrees Kerasilk Brand Ambassador Nick Fletcher.

According to TONI&GUY Global Creative Director Cos Sakkas, smooth, silky hair reflects the light and leaves colour looking vibrant and luminous. “It’s one of the most requested looks in the salon, whether it’s on straight or curly hair, as it leaves hair looking healthy and luxurious,” he shares. “It’s the ultimate statement of glamour while remaining natural and beautiful.”

Sakkas reveals that a glass-like finish can turn an everyday blow-dry into an expensive looking hairstyle, but condition is key. “You must make sure hair is in tip top condition,” he says. “One of the most important things is your diet—make sure you eat plenty of fresh, organic healthy fats such as avocados and nuts, and as little processed food as possible.”

Along with addressing your diet, you can achieve enviable shine by trying a semi permanent 'Hair Botox' or Keratin treatment, or simply by enlisting the help of some hard working hair products. We’ve rounded up some of our favourites to have you well on your way to achieving gorgeous hair with a glass-like finish.
