I'm Adore Beauty's resident beauty newbie. Before working at Adore, I was travelling the world for 4 months with just one tiny tube of Jurlique moisturiser. I washed my face with warm water and used olive oil as a deep conditioning treatment. Oh, how things have changed!
The glass hair look is easy to achieve and even easier to keep using ColourWOW’s range of hair care and styling products.
With the right tools and techniques, you’ll be able to achieve these high shine results at home. 
In this routine ColourWOW’s Global Director of Training and Education, Giles Robinson, takes us through how to get that sleek, shiny glass hair look that will last for days.

How do I use the ColorWOW Dreamfilter? 

The ColorWOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray 200ml is an impressive styling product that tackles humidity and frizz, while providing a sleek high shine finish. This lightweight styling spray is formulated with heat-activated that seal in strength and shine, for a silky finish. 
To activate these polymers it is important you apply a generous amount of the product to damp, towel dried hair and blow dry in small sections, maintaining tension with a brush. This method will give you the best results from this product, which will last up to 3-4 washes. 
In this routine we will show you how to use this product in conjunction with ColourWOW’s hair care range for super glossy, glass like hair.
