Glass skin, the poreless, smooth and luminous complexion trend, is still very much a thing. But if the look isn’t right for you (shout out to our matte makeup-devotees) or you’ve already mastered it, allow us to introduce to you glass hair. Like the skin trend, this hair look is all about intentional shine and describes smooth hair with a reflective, glass-like quality. To get the sleek finish, start by adding a great shine-inducing product into your hair-care routine. Here, we’re rounding up five of our favorite sprays and oils that’ll help you achieve glass hair.
