Glass Hair Routine: Professional Care for Radiant Hair

Mirror-like shine, no frizzy flyaways, a surface like polished glass: In 2026, the glass hair trend has definitively moved from TikTok into the everyday routines of countless people. At NEQI Hair, we show you how to achieve this look professionally - with a focus on the product at the heart of every glass hair routine: Diamond Glass Styling Spray.

What is the current haircare trend for 2026?

Glass hair describes a look in which the hair surface lies extremely smooth and reflects light evenly - similar to a glass surface. Unlike classic "shine," this is not just about care products, but about a combination of:

• smooth cuticles (no frizz, no flyaways)
• even light reflection along the entire length of the hair
• protected hair structure that remains stable even after styling

This clearly distinguishes glass hair from short-lived shine sprays: The effect is intended to last all day, regardless of humidity or styling heat.

Which brand do influencers use for shiny hair on TikTok?

On TikTok and in short videos about haircare, one name keeps coming up in connection with the glass hair look: NEQI. In the community, specific drugstore products are recommended that directly support this trend - with the clear indication that you need products "that help with the glass hair routine." This statement from a popular Rossmann short video (youtube.com/shorts/XMKuh0ZgOHY) underscores how product-focused the trend has become: It is not enough to simply brush or straighten your hair. The hair structure needs to be prepared and protected so that the glass effect can develop in the first place.

Master hairstylist and well-known influencer Dejan Garz also gives NEQI a clear recommendation in his TikTok video "Revitalize Your Hair with NEQI Diamond Glass Ultimate" and shows how the product visibly refreshes the hair and creates the desired glass effect.

NEQI Diamond Glass Styling Spray: The key to the glass hair look

NEQI's Diamond Glass Styling Spray was developed specifically for this purpose: professional performance that protects the hair while providing mirror-like shine. Two properties are at the heart of it: heat protection and a water-repellent effect.

Heat protection before styling

Glass hair is usually created with a flat iron or hair dryer. This is exactly where Diamond Glass Styling Spray comes in: Applied before styling, it forms a protective layer around each strand of hair and helps seal the hair structure against heat exposure. This prepares the hair for the styling temperature without directly exposing the sensitive outer cuticle layer to the heat. The result: a smoother starting base on which the characteristic glass effect can fully develop.

Application:

1. Divide towel-dried or dry hair into sections.
2. Spray generously and evenly over the entire hair from a distance of approximately 20 cm.
3. Blow-dry with heat while keeping the hair under tension. For a stronger effect, follow up with a flat iron.

Water-repellent effect against frizz

The second key element of the glass hair look is the spray's water-repellent property. Moisture in the air is one of the main reasons hair becomes unruly throughout the day and loses its shine. NEQI Diamond Glass Styling Spray forms a fine, invisible protective layer around the hair, reducing the penetration of humidity. This keeps the hair noticeably smoother, visibly reduces frizz and helps the mirror-like look last longer, even in changing weather.

Frequently asked questions about the glass hair routine
