Some people predicted that bobs would be everywhere in 2018, and they pretty much nailed it – so many celebrities are rocking a shorter cut this year. But Refinery29 was the first to actually report on the celebrity hair trend sweeping Instagram: glass hair.
So what does “glass hair” mean? It does involve a sharp bob cut, but the real trick of glass hair is making it, well, glassy. We’re talking smooth, shiny and with absolutely no flyaways.

According to Allure, Hailey Baldwin was also one of the first to hop aboard this bandwagon.
It takes a bit of work to get this look, and we’d recommend talking to your hairdresser for exactly how to achieve it, since different types of hair will react differently to certain products. Those of you with natural hair, for example, will want to stay away from water-based products, since it could detract from the silky straightness you’re hoping to get.
Celebrity hairstylist Cash Lawless also told Refinery29 that people hoping to glass up their hair should avoid salt sprays and not turn the heat up too high on their flat-iron. Running some serum through your strands will also help you lock in that glossy finish.
We’re obsessed with this classy, glassy look. Hair trends will continue to come and go, but elegance is timeless, and we have a feeling this style may always be à la mode.
