Inspired by Korea's #GlassSkin trend, mirror-effect shine now also applies to hair. On social networks, #glasshair has become a must-have, with beauty enthusiasts sharing their most beautiful shots of their ultra-shimmering hair. To copy them, we adopt the boar bristles brush. Explanations.
What is glass hair?
Glass hair means shiny hair. Very shiny. It's straight, smooth and silky. The cuts are symmetrical, with no volume or layering. Glass hair" is often worn on squares with a parting in the middle for an even more intense glossy effect. However, not all hair is as sleek as it looks in videos or photos on Instagram or TikTok! Good news: the glossy effect can also be adapted to thick, textured hair, but also to all haircuts. All you need to do is tame frizz and boost moisture.
The ultimate glass hair with a boar bristles
No need to overdo it: the boar bristles brush has everything you need to make your hair shine.
The power of boar bristles for shiny, silky hair
Thanks to its fibrous structure, boar's hair is able to capture natural oils at the roots and distribute it evenly throughout the hair, right down to the ends. The result: hair fiber is naturally nourished, scales reflect light more effectively and hair regains its original shine. More than just a styling tool, this is genuine hair care that enhances your hair day after day.

How do I brush my hair for an ultra-glossy effect?
Ever heard of the 100 strokes of the brush? It's an essential beauty ritual to nourish and shine your hair every day, morning and night. The right gesture: from the roots to the ends, 25 strokes with the head bent forward, 25x with the head bent to the left, 25x with the head bent to the right and finally, 25x with the head bent straight.
The right hair care routine for everyday mirror shine
- After washing your hair with warm water, finish your rinse with a shot of cold water. The aim? Tighten the scales and finish smoothing the hair so that it reflects light better.
- Getting your glass hair effect took some effort. So, to avoid ruining your mirror shine when you jump out of bed, sleep on a silk pillowcase to limit friction and frizz.
- The mantra for glossy hair? It can be summed up in one word: hydration. And of course, that means brushing your hair every morning and evening. If your hair is oily, dry or weakened, you can apply a moisturizing mask once a week to combat dullness and boost shine.
- The glass hair effect is even more intense on straight hair. So, if you use a straightener, never skip out on a thermo-protective treatment to protect the fiber and boost the effects of straightening.
