Get the viral glass hair look with this £30 hair mist that restores dry and damaged strands
09.04.2024 - 01:05 / ok.co.uk
Glass hair has become one of the biggest hair trends of the last year, with everyone chasing the coveted ultra-glossy shine. Inspired by Korean skincare’s ‘glass skin’ trend, the hair equivalent is all about leaving your tresses looking shiny, sleek and hydrated.
Although it might sound simple, achieving that glass-like reflective sheen can be tricky, especially on hair that’s naturally quite coarse or damaged.
That’s why when Color Wow’s Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, £21.70 here (was £27), dropped onto our radars, it became the must-have product for getting glossy results. Now it’s latest launch has got us even more excited, as its Color Wow Money Mist, £29.50 here, is even quicker and easier to use – and gives very similar results.
For the uninitiated, the original Dream Coat spray requires both heat and tension to activate it (for example, blow drying it with a round brush).
That meant for those less than skilled with an at-home blow dry or anyone trying to avoid using heat on damaged hair, it wasn’t always an ideal option to get those coveted glass hair results. However, the brand new Money Mist is much more straightforward (and heat-free) way to get the same shiny results, as all you need to do is spray it onto freshly washed damp hair and comb it through.
You don’t need to rinse it and you don’t need to try it to activate it – just spray and go to get shiny stands. Just like Dream Coat, it offers full heat and environmental damage protection, and helps detangle, defrizz and hydrate your locks all at once.
It also nourishes and supports each strand, leaving it stronger and silkier instantly whilst improving elasticity for bounce and volume. However, Dream Coat also helps protect from things like humidity and rain by
