How to Do Glazed Donut Hair That Doesn't Look Greasy

You don’t have to be an expert in trends to know that glazed donut skin, nails and hair are having a massive moment on social media. What started with glowy, dewy complexions, has now made its way to pearly, chrome nails and glossy, shiny hair. While the trend isn’t too far off from the viral glass skin and all of its iterations, it proves that high-shine beauty is here to stay.

While frosted nails or dewy complexions may not be your preference, soft, vibrant and lustrous hair — whether it’s called glass hair, glazed donut hair or something else — is what many people strive for. Not only is it gorgeous but it’s an indication of healthy hair, and that is the ultimate hair goal. While a shiny mane comes easier to some than others, using the right hair products can help anyone achieve the glossy look without crossing the line into greasy hair. 

Inside, learn all about the glazed donut hair trend, including how to get the glossy look at home, and the top hair care products to shop for shiny hair.

What Is Glazed Donut Hair?

Glazed donut hair is hair that looks glossy, healthy and expensive. Think of hair that has an intense shine when it catches the light or hair that has just been freshly dyed and styled. There’s a freshness to it and a healthy luminosity. Warm highlights and ribbons of color woven throughout your hair can also help to amplify the glazed donut look because it creates a multi-dimensional color that shines as it hits the light. But ultimately, glazed donut hair glows and it’s not limited to a certain hair type or color.
