Ever notice how some hair in Seoul almost looks like a mirror?
Ever notice how some hair in Seoul almost looks like a mirror?
That look has a name: glass hair. It borrows from the glass skin trend, and it is all about a smooth, sleek surface that bounces light back. Most of it comes from small choices in the salon and at home, not from luck.
Why it shines: shine lives on the surface. When the surface is smooth, light bounces back evenly. Frizz and rough texture scatter the light, so the same color can look flat.
The ends: a clean, even line gives light one long path to travel down. Thin, wispy ends tend to break that line, so a small tidy-up can change how glossy your hair looks.
In the salon: gloss and care services can help hair look smoother and shinier for a while. Which one fits depends on your hair, so message us and ask before you book.
Roots: rinse shampoo out for longer than feels necessary. Leftover suds can weigh roots down and take the shine off the whole head.
At home, every week: lukewarm water, conditioner from mid-length down, a wide-tooth comb, the dryer nozzle pointed down the hair, a tiny drop of serum on dry ends, and a smooth pillowcase at night.
A note from our stylists: more product does not mean more shine. Too much serum makes hair look greasy instead of glossy, so start with less and add only on the ends.
