What is glass hair?
Originating from K-beauty trends, glass hair isn’t just about straightening your locks—it’s about achieving truly healthy, hydrated hair and a high-shine finish that looks perfectly polished!
How to achieve glass hair
Step 1: Start with a nourishing shampoo
Glass hair begins with hair that’s deeply moisturised and well-cared for so you do need to choose wisely when it comes to your shampoo because anything will most certainly not do! You’ll want to use a sulphate-free shampoo that will smooth and fortify the hair shaft. Look for ingredients like keratin, vitamin E, argan oil, and vegetal biotin for maximum hydration and shine.
We LOVE Pevonia Hair Energize Extra-Strength Shampoo This benefit-packed, extra strength hair revival shampoo not only cleanses hair with coconut and oat amino acids, but also repairs bonds within the hair structure reducing breakage and strengthening your locks from the inside out. Formulated with a powerhouse blend of keratin, vegetal biotin, moisturising panthenol, marine collagen polypeptides and encapsulated caffeine, it also deeply nourishes hair and ensures the growth of healthy, strong and vibrant locks making it an effective solution to combat thinning and hair loss too!
How to Use: Apply to wet hair, gently massaging into the scalp and through the lengths of your hair. Rinse thoroughly.
Step 2. Incorporate conditioner
Just like your shampoo, it’s important to choose a conditioner that is going to treat those tresses of yours. The Pevonia Hair Energize Extra-Strength Conditioner pairs perfectly with the Pevonia Hair Energize Extra-Strength Shampoo. It’s a versatile extra strength, pH balanced conditioner that acts as a conditioner, detangler, heat protectant, and frizz fighter all in one. It’s perfect for those who want to simplify their routine without compromising on results. Professionally formulated with gentle and effective natural botanical and marine derived ingredients, it softens hair, increases elasticity and moisture, reduces breakages and adds volume and gloss all whilst stimulated the hair follicles and balancing the scalps natural oils! Genius!
How to Use: Apply evenly on damp hair and comb through to distribute. Leave on for two minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Style as usual.
Step 3: Apply a smoothing serum or hair oil
To really get the glass hair look you’ll need to apply a lightweight hair serum or oil to damp hair. This adds protection, reduces frizz, and delivers that silky finish. We recommend Pevonia Hair Energize Extra-Strength Overnight Serum. Infused with encapsulated caffeine, keratin, vegetal biotin, moisturising panthenol and rosemary leaf extract, this highly concentrated, lightweight yet nourishing serum works deeply into the scalp to combat hair loss and thinning hair while improving hair moisture, resilience, flexibility, and manageability. The result – healthier, stronger, fuller and more vibrant tresses!
How to Use: On a clean scalp, apply a few drops to hair and massage well until absorbed. Leave overnight. Do not rinse. Use nightly.
Step 4: Blow-Dry With Precision
Blow-dry using a round brush and a nozzle attachment to direct airflow downward. The goal is to seal the cuticle flat for max shine. Finish each section with a cool shot to lock in the sleekness.
Step 5: Feed your hair from the inside out
This ultra glossy “just stepped out of a salon” perfectly polished mirror like finish isn’t just about hair product, it’s about taking care of your hair from the inside out too! It might sound silly but like with your skin, your hair’s health is a reflection of your diet! Ensure you’re consuming enough protein, vitamins, and minerals daily and drink plenty of water!
Can all hair types achieve glass hair?
Absolutely! While naturally straight hair may get there faster, wavy or textured hair can still shine with the right care. Just tweak the technique, opt for a smoothing treatment beforehand, or go for a silk press if needed and make sure you are armed with a flat iron for straightening. For that true glass effect, flat iron your hair in small sections with a high-quality ceramic straightener. Use a heat protectant spray beforehand that’s a non-negotiable!
