Hair trends come and go on social media with looks such as curtain bangs and bouncy blowouts being particularly popular in recent years.<\/p>\n
One trend that’s having a moment is the glass hair trend. The look involves having hair that’s so shiny it almost looks like glass.<\/p>\n
Glass hair is usually styled and treated until it’s super smooth, sleep and polished so it looks almost reflective like glass.<\/p>\n
To achieve glass-like hair, you need to treat your hair to make it soft and shiny.<\/p>\n
With this in mind, Dr Balwi, a hair transplant surgeon at Elithair has shared exclusively with Express.co.uk which ingredients in shampoos people should avoid “at all costs” if they want shiny hair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
He said: \u201cIngredients such as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) or Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES) are harsh on the hair follicles and are responsible for stripping away its natural oils.<\/p>\n
“Whilst they’re excellent at removing oil and dirt, they also remove the natural oils that keep your hair moisturised and healthy.<\/p>\n
“This stripping effect can leave your hair dry, brittle, and more prone to breakage.<\/p>\n
\u201cSulphates can also be harsh on the scalp which can lead to irritation, itching, and inflammation for some people with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema or psoriasis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“Over time, sulphates can weaken the hair structure, making it more susceptible to damage.”<\/p>\n
Dr Balwi said another damaging ingredient in shampoos is silicone. Despite silicone leaving hair looking shiny, the effect is just temporary.<\/p>\n
So while in the short-term you will have shiny, glass-like hair, it will quickly turn heavy and dull.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Instead of using shampoos that contain these harsh ingredients, it’s best to look for shampoos that are sulphate and silicone-free.<\/p>\n
He added: “Proteins, vitamins and natural oils will lead to shiny, glass-effect hair.”<\/p>\n
When browsing for shampoos, look for ingredients such as organ oil, green tea extract, silk proteins, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
