Healthy hair oozes shine that can sometimes be hard to recreate at home. Luckily, we’ve found the products that give you that mirror-like hair gloss in just one wash…
Shiny, healthy-looking hair never goes out of style, but if you’re currently as obsessed with The Traitors as we are, Claudia Winkleman’s hair has no doubt had you searching for products to recreate her mirror-like shine at home.
In the past, certain colours and textures may have struggled to get that ultra-glossy shine without enlisting a professional for in-salon treatment. “It’s much harder to get that mirror-like shine on curly, textured or light-coloured hair,” says hairstylist Hayley Barrett. “For the most part, this is because light generally doesn’t reflect and bounce off the hair follicle in the same way that it might dark, black and straight hair, for example.”
Luckily for those seeking shine, hair product technology has come a long way over the past couple of years, meaning there are a whole host of hair treatments and styling products you can use at home to achieve a salon-like finish. Want shiny hair that rivals Claudia Winkleman’s? You’ve come to the right place…
Ouai Hair Gloss
If you’re looking for a professional hairdresser-like finish, you need to try Ouai’s new Hair Gloss. The brand’s first salon-grade treatment acts like a top coat for your hair – helping to treat damage and protect against heat styling, all while giving you an instant injection of shine. Apply on damp hair and wait for five minutes before rinsing out – your hair will look instantly polished and frizz-free, plus the results will last for up to three washes.
