The Koreans may have introduced us to the wondrous world of glass skin, but nobody could have predicted the onslaught of glass-inspired trends that would follow. Glassy pouts and eyeshadow looks were quick to hop on the trend and now, with the skinification of hair, it comes as little surprise that glass hair is deemed all the rage. With sleek, mirrored finishes assuming the spotlight, here’s a closer look at how you can recreate the look at home—and what you need to stop doing right away.
What is glass hair? The name does, indeed, give it all away—the easiest way to understand glass hair would be a mane so lustrous that it almost mimics the resemblance of glass. Think strands that radiate with shine, silkiness and vitality to resemble a mirror-like finish. Most frequently spotted on shoulder length blunt bobs, glassy luminescence is the new haircare ideal to pin up on your vision board for 2025.

According to Morwani, every great blow-dry starts with a clean foundation, and that’s where this clarifying shampoo comes in. Powered by tea tree oil, this shampoo deeply cleanses your scalp while removing product buildup and excess oil without drying out your hair. The cooling peppermint and uplifting vetiver scent make wash day feel like a spa experience. Plus, it’s sulfate-free, so your locks are left feeling soft, refreshed, and ready for styling!
Tip: For maximum freshness, wash your hair twice to ensure your scalp is squeaky clean before starting your blow-dry.
Enriched with vitamin E, coconut oil, and sunflower seed oil, this serum is the ultimate treatment for glossy hair. It nourishes, adds shine, and instantly boosts hair health, transforming it into a glassy masterpiece. With heat protection up to 230°C, it’s also perfect for use before heat styling.
Hair that can withstand the onset of humidity, frizz and pollution to exude a glass-like exuberance? On paper, it may sound like a tall order but with a few tweaks to your haircare routine, you’ll find it easy to wake up with red carpet-ready strands every morning. Here’s how:
The most coveted iteration of glass hair is on evenly cut bobs, which is why you’ll want to get more regular with your salon appointments to keep split ends at bay. As a rule of thumb, it is advisable to schedule a trim every six to eight weeks to maintain your mane in optimal health.
The most crucial step to enhancing your hair’s shine? Ensuring that you aren’t carrying any extra baggage or dead weight. Introduce a clarifying shampoo into your weekly haircare routine to get rid of any product buildup on the scalp.
When aiming for hair that reflects the light, you will want to seal in every last bit of moisture into your hair. After washing your hair with lukewarm water, it is advisable to opt for a cold water rinse to close the cuticle, thereby preventing the moisture from escaping.
Damp hair and flat irons do not make for friendly allies—running a heated styling tool over wet strands is a guaranteed one-way ticket to haircare purgatory. Instead, blow-dry your hair until the last bit of dampness has evaporated and then methodically run a flat iron through your hair in even sections.
Once done, you’ll want to keep your handiwork intact by opting for specific finishing products that can dial up your hair’s natural radiance. Before you head out the door, run a hand of shine-enhancing hair gloss or smoothening serum that will help your hair reflect light from every angle.
While the right styling tools and products can take you a long way, the ultimate secret of glass hair boils down to holistic, all-round care. If dryness and frizz are playing spoilsport on the mirror-smooth finish you’ve been dreaming of, it is likely that certain everyday habits are stealing your hair’s radiance and shine. Ahead, a closer look at what to avoid to achieve a glass-like finish:
There is such a thing as too much of a good thing—especially when it comes to hair serum. As a rule of thumb, it is advisable to only apply hair serum from the mid-lengths to the ends as the product can weigh down on the scalp.
For the megawatt radiance, you’ll want to apply hair serum on freshly washed hair. Rubbing the formula on the palms of your hand will activate the oils and ensure a smoother application process.
Pin-straight locks might be key to the glass hair look, but you’ll want to ensure that the health and vitality of your strands aren’t compromised in the process. As tempting as it may seem to blast damp hair with a blow dryer after a shower and then reach for the flat iron, it helps to pause and apply heat protection to shield your shaft from overexposure to heated styling tools.
Your hair loves to replenish its reserves as you sleep, which is why you’ll find overnight masks and treatments scaling the popularity charts. For strands that look and feel as smooth as silk, it is essential to opt for preemptive care with overnight hair masks and creams that offer an essential boost of moisturisation and nourishment.
Your hair is at its most brittle when it is wet; and blasting it with the showerhead turned on maximum temperature serves as the easiest recipe for breakage and hair fall. Beyond having additional strands littered on the floor, overly hot showers can also damage the cuticle, leading to dryness and frizz—the antithesis of the sleek glass finish you’re aiming for.
In the quest for glass-like hair, it isn’t important to just note how you are washing your hair, but also how often you are washing your mane. Washing your hair more frequently than necessary can lead to dryness and split ends and more importantly, rob your hair of its shine by zapping away its natural oils. As a rule of thumb, it helps to wash your hair no more than twice or thrice a week.
