Glass hair beauty trend focuses on mirror-like shine

The “glass hair” beauty trend, characterized by a smooth, mirror-like shine, is gaining popularity for the summer season. The effect relies on the condition of the hair shaft rather than styling; when hair cuticles are compact and well-hydrated, the hair reflects light more evenly, appearing softer and more manageable across various textures, including waves and curls.

Maintaining this look during summer can be difficult due to environmental factors such as UV rays, salt water, chlorine, humidity, and wind, which can dehydrate the hair and lift the cuticles. To counteract these effects, experts suggest using hair glosses, lightweight oils, nourishing masks, and smoothing serums. These products are designed to deeply hydrate, reduce frizz, and seal the cuticle to maintain a healthy, luminous appearance even after exposure to sun and pool water.
