Celebrity stylist Chris Appleton was named the best hairdresser at the Hollywood Beauty Awards. And it’s really no surprise – given his iconic, show-stopping transformations. One of his go-to signature looks? Glass hair. It’s been rocked by Kim K, J.Lo, and more. Today we’re breaking down the full glass hair routine so you can recreate the style at home.
HOW TO GET CELEBRITY WORTHY GLASS HAIR
Step 1: Wash Your Hair with Color Security Shampoo
You cannot create glass hair unless you start the styling process with super clean hair. You need a smooth, clean surface in order to ensure maximum shine. Now we know what you’re thinking…Great, I’ll just wash my hair with my go-to shampoo.
Unfortunately, that won’t work! Believe it or not, instead of leaving hair pristine clean, most shampoos leave behind residues that are dulling and weigh hair down (read more about harmful ingredients). To achieve glass hair, Chris says, “It’s critical to use a shampoo that leaves no residues on the hair,”
The solution? Color Wow Color Security Shampoo. This gentle sulfate-free formula does not contain any ingredients that are engineered to stick to the hair; that are difficult to rinse off. Color Wow shampoo promises only to leave your hair super clean, free from residues, and that’s exactly what it does.
Step 2: Condition!
The next step is following up with a detangling conditioner that provides the hydration your hair needs. chris’ go-to is color wow security conditioner, because it’s formulated without typical conditioning agents that can oxidize and turn your hair dark or brassy.
Step 3: Apply Dream Coat
Next up is chris’ not-so-secret weapon – dream coat supernatural spray. be sure to saturate your strands thoroughly after washing hair and conditioning your hair. chris recommends going section by section to ensure the hair is evenly coated.
Step 4: Blow Dry with Tension!
The key to activating Dream Coat is the combination of tension and heat. Using a smoothing brush (like the evo Pete Ionic Paddle Brush) Chris takes a section of hair and begins to dry it while maintaining tension.
The result is silky, smooth, brilliantly shiny hair. “The level of glossy shine is incredible. Nothing can create a mirror-like-finish like Dream Coat…and keep the style humidity-proof for days,” says Chris
