How do you get shiny, glossy hair?

Shiny, mirror-smooth hair — better known as glass hair — is the look more and more people are longing for. The result is a hairstyle that appears perfectly polished, with an elegant and sleek finish. What makes this trend so appealing is that it looks both chic and modern, making it suitable for almost any style. But what many forget: that mirror-like shine doesn’t just happen on its own. Using the right products and techniques is essential to truly achieve that smooth, glossy result. Be sure to check out our best products for shiny hair as well. With these simple steps, you can create glossy hair that stays perfect all day long.

Every glossy look begins in the shower. Wet your hair and use the Radiant Gloss Illuminating Shampoo. This shampoo gently cleanses and instantly leaves your hair looking shiny. Massage it well into the scalp to create a rich lather. Rinse and repeat for an extra shine boost. The shampoo hydrates and enhances your hair’s natural vitality by locking moisture into the hair fibers. This leaves your strands feeling silky soft and looking healthier. The lightweight formula doesn’t weigh the hair down and keeps it flexible.

For those who want to give their hair that little bit extra, there’s the Radiant Gloss Illuminating Mask. This mask significantly boosts shine, creating a glossy effect that’s perfect for the glass-hair look. It intensely hydrates while also repairing the hair, leaving it soft and renewed. Because the formula seals the hair cuticles, frizz is reduced and a smooth, polished finish is created.

After washing, it’s time to give your hair a shine treatment. Radiant Gloss Hair Gloss softens the hair fibers, allowing light to reflect better and creating a radiant finish. At the same time, the gloss deeply hydrates and nourishes, restoring moisture levels and making your hair feel smooth and manageable. Apply it like a conditioner and let it sit for 1 to 3 minutes before rinsing. What makes this product extra special is how effectively it reduces frizz and flyaways. It creates a smooth, beautiful shine without weighing the hair down.

Want to give your hair some extra care? Apply a few drops of Radiant Gloss Illume Infusion after washing. This lightweight, non-greasy oil boosts shine and creates a glossy, mirror-like finish. It smooths the hair, tames frizz, and keeps unruly strands under control for up to 48 hours. Because the formula is quickly absorbed, the hair never feels heavy or oily. It also nourishes and protects, helping your hair stay soft and hydrated. A big bonus: you can also mix Illume Infusion with other products, such as the mask, to enhance the glossy effect and fully personalize your routine.

The ultimate shine doesn’t come from washing and care alone. The real wow-factor appears during styling. That’s where Luminous Coat comes in: a product activated by heat. Apply generously to damp hair and blow-dry it smooth for an intense shine. Which Luminous Coat suits you best depends on your hair type:

• Do you have normal to thick hair? Choose Luminous Coat Supreme Cream.

• Do you have fine to normal hair? Go for Luminous Coat Shine Spray.

For an extra shine boost, finish with the Shine Therapy shine spray. This ultra-light spray enhances your hair’s natural shine and delivers up to 80% more gloss, without making your hair heavy, greasy, or sticky. Spray evenly over dry hair from about 30 cm away for a smooth distribution and a glossy finish. Ideal after a blow-dry or straightening session to take your look to the next level. The spray also helps tame small frizzy and stray hairs, keeping your style sleek and polished. Using a shine spray not only completes your routine in a stylish way — it also gives your hair that luxurious, salon-worthy finish that lasts all day.

You now have the complete glass-hair routine, but here are a few smart habits to help maintain your shine:

Split ends don’t reflect light and make your hair look dull. Trimming your ends every 6–8 weeks keeps your hair healthy and shiny.

A silk or satin pillowcase or bonnet reduces friction, helping your hair stay smooth at night so you wake up with less frizz.

Styling tools like blow-dryers, straighteners, and curling irons are great for your look but can reduce shine. Always use a heat protectant to prevent damage and maintain your glossy hair.
