all hair types 6 Products To Help You Get Glass Hair This Holiday Season

Holiday time calls for all the glitz, sparkle and shine when it comes to your beauty routine. Not only do we reach for glittery makeup products and glam lipstick, we also yearn for glassy hair to go with our look. Shiny hair naturally lights up locks, adding dimension and life to any hair type. The best news? Glass hair is  easy to achieve  with the right hair care regimen and styling products. Read on for our best tips on how to make hair glassy, plus our favorite hydrating products to help you get there.

Tip #1: Switch To The Right Shine-Enhancing Products

If there’s something you want to change about your hair, it’s pretty probable that you’ll have to change your current products. Swap in a shine-enhancing shampoo and conditioner to help give your hair a lightweight feel with intense radiance. We also recommend applying a leave-in treatment or deep conditioning mask to give your hair extra love and enhance hydration. 

Tip #2: Embrace Dry Hair Hacks

To achieve glass hair, you’ll want to follow guidelines for taking care of dry hair to keep it at bay. Give these tricks a try:

1. Turn down the water temperature when you shampoo. Super-hot showers may be relaxing in the moment, but they’re just as drying for your hair as they are for your skin. Cranking the dial down on wash days, so the water is only lukewarm, can make a major difference in managing dryness.

2. Protect your hair from the sun. We all love spending time outdoors, but don’t forget that your hair needs sun protection too. Toss on a broad-brimmed hat and use hair products with UV protection to stay sun safe. 

Tip #3: Protect Your Strands at Night and From Heat

Another way to achieve silky, glassy hair is by avoiding heat and keeping your hair protected at night. You can do this by applying a heat-protectant spray to your strands before you heat-style your hair, and by wearing a silk or satin scarf to bed.
