Regardless of if your hair is tight curls or your locks are pin-straight, there’s one hair trend that’s everyone is after right now.
It’s a luxurious, radiant, glossy sheen that makes hair look healthy and strong.
When worn straight in a shiny ‘waterfall’ of locks, the reflective finish has come to be known by the trend terms ‘glass hair’ or ‘liquid hair’.
For curls, a number of products have recently been released that prioritise definition and shine.
Hair professionals know these looks can be created by relying on styling products and heated tools, but making it a whole lot easier is having healthy, resilient hair to begin with.
Kiwi hair stylist and founder of eponymous haircare and styling line, Chloe Zara, has created a new product that helps deliver on both fronts.
Her Glossifying Hair Mist is a natural lightweight detangler and heat-protecting conditioning spray with UV protection that also delivers a beautiful shiny finish.
It calls on botanical oils including blackcurrant seed oil and coconut oils for omegas and fatty acids, extracts of calendula and chamomile to strengthen strands and soothe the scalp and a star ingredient, HAIR Oléobooster. It’s a unique fusion of tamarind, shikakai and coconut oil that provides heat and sun protection.
Zara (above) says given she styles her own hair with heat tools a few times a week, she needed a solution to help minimise damage.
“I knew I needed to give my hair as much protection as possible. Researching more into ingredients that can help solve this problem, we found our hero ingredient, Hair Oléobooster®. We used it as the building block for a beautiful leave-in conditioner, heat protecting spray and multi-purpose product for all hair types.
She suggests using it on damp hair before air drying or heat styling.
“I love to layer my haircare products, and I particularly love the feeling of a leave-in conditioner in my hair to detangle any knots and create a smooth, soft base to then apply my other styling products on top of, in order to prime my hair for styling.
“The Chloe Zara Glossifying Hair Mist is now the first product I apply to my hair post-cleansing and conditioning.
She then follows with pre-styling Hair Crème and a drop or two of Hair & Body Perfume Oil for added protection, hydration and shine.
It can also be used on dry hair to hydrate curls as well as before heading outside for prolonged periods or swimming in the sea or pool.
Everyone loves a multi-tasker, which this product definitely is, but Zara also admits to another surprising use.
“I wanted to create a leave-in conditioner using 100% natural or naturally derived clean beauty ingredients, as I use this product on my toddler. It is a great way to keep his hair clean and in good condition, with no tangles and fuss. As it has a light, natural fragrance he is more than happy for me to use this product on him daily.”
