Silky smooth, reflective hair is sweeping Instagram. Here’s what you need to know about this super glamorous, celebapproved trend
Looks like the beauty world is in love with all things silky and smooth. After glass skin (dewy, luminous skin achieved with an elaborate skin care routine), it’s the turn of glass hair to sweep Instagram. Wondering what is so special about glass hair that made beauty addicts across the world fall in love with it? We have it all spelt out for you:
What’s glass hair?
It’s a sharp, sleek, blunt cut bob that has been styled to look so smooth and glossy that it resembles a piece of glass.
Who is trending it? International celebrities and bloggers are sporting the look. Some of the people you could look up to for inspiration are American reality television personality Kim Kardashian, model and actor Olivia Culpo, English model and actor Jourdan Dunn, American model Ashley Graham, English singer Dua Lipa and American model Bella Hadid. The women are in love with the trend and have aced it to perfection. How to get the look right? Kim Kardashian’s hairstylist Chris Appleton wrote on Instagram that for him, adding shine to the look was most important: “For me, getting an intense shine was really important part of our look.”
The first step is to get the perfect sharp-cut or blunt-cut bob. “The hair has to hang straight and not touch the shoulders,” says hairstylist Rod Anker. Then you need a sleek blow-dry to remove all the frizziness. Then, it is about the polish you add. Rub a few drops of shine serum beginning from the mid-length and finishing off at the ends to get that perfect glass-like shine. You have a hairstyle that is versatile enough to team with your no-makeup look or dramatic oxblood lips.
It’s pretty easy to ace the look, say experts
If you are wondering that this Insta-perfect trend is tricky to achieve in our climate, Rod Anker tells you not to worry.
“It’s an it easy-to-achieve look and something that will look the same even after 4-6 hours after it’s done. The trick is to begin with an excellent hair city, get hold of a good shine serum,” says Rod.
