Stylists Agree: This Is How To Get TikTok’s ‘Glass Hair,’ Once And For All

Remember the stick straight, ultra-shiny hair of ‘90s? If you look to Instagram or TikTok (see Kim Kardashian or @anissasojka), you’ll see that it’s back in a big way. Today, it’s called “Glass Hair,” and with new tools, products and overall tech, the look is way shinier than it was twenty years ago.

If you’re looking to get the ultra-reflective look, also known as”liquid hair,” but don’t have a glam crew at your beck and call, here are some ways to achieve it:

If hair is a reflection (pun intended) of the times, then glass hair with its high-maintenance styling requirements is as the anti-sweatpants movement is to fashion. And in a post-quarantine era, people are loving the return of fussy glam.

“I’ve been trying to get this look on everyone’s page over the last year and no one wanted to hear it,” celebrity stylist Garren tells us.

“We had to go through that phase of a muddied look, where everything was dull and dirty looking,” the co-founder of R+Co haircare explains. “Now it’s time to shine it up.” Yes!

Glass hair is about youth, he continues. “It’s the kind of hair you want to touch—that your husband, girlfriend, partner wants to touch.” That sounds good to us!
