1. Brush hair

On wash day, the first step to preparing your hair is brushing it to remove any knots.

2. Apply serum

The first layer of moisturizing your hair is applying serum to it. I find that this protects my ends from getting damaged by shampoo.

3. Wash hair

Now wash your hair with shampoo.

4. Apply hair mask

The next step involves applying a hair mask specifically to the ends of your hair.

Begin by generously applying the mask to the tips of your hair.

Using a brush, gently distribute the mask throughout your hair, ensuring that every strand is coated evenly.

As you brush, you'll notice the mask effectively coating each strand, resulting in smoother and more manageable hair.

5. Tie hair into bun

Put your hair into a bun and tie it with a scrunchie.

Then, put a towel or a T-shirt on top of your hair and leave it on for two hours.

I like to use a T-shirt because it is lighter than a towel and I think that it absorbs the water faster.

6. Wash hair

Wash your hair to remove the hair mask, and also apply some conditioner.

You don’t have to add conditioner if you don’t want to because usually, hair masks and conditioner have the same function as each other.

I added conditioner because although the mask makes my hair feel healthier, stronger, and more moisturized from the inside, it doesn’t have silicone in it, which the conditioner does and adds an extra glow.

7. Apply repair cream

The next step to moisturize your hair is to apply some hair repair cream to the lengths and ends of your hair.

Make sure to work it into the ends of your hair because these are the parts that are the most damaged and have the most open cuticles.

8. Apply hair oil

Apply some hair oil, which will seal in all of the products we’ve used up until now, and also add some glow to your hair.

9. Dry hair

Now dry your hair, either using a hairdryer or letting it air dry.

10. Pre-sleep haircare

To maintain the shine and health of your hair throughout the week, apply a hair cream followed by a serum to your hair.

Then, use a brush to evenly distribute the products throughout your hair.

Finally, secure your hair in a silk bonnet.

This routine helps to moisturize and protect your hair while you sleep, preserving its shine and overall condition.

Here is the finished glass hair look - my hair looks smooth and shiny, just like the sort of hair you’d see in a commercial.

I used to think that hair like this was too good to be true but now I know that I can achieve it for myself, and so can you!
