Gretchen Wieners may not have made 'fetch' happen circa 2004, but almost 20 years later, Lindsay Lohan certainly has, with her XL butt-skimming hair... Trends, they're cyclical, so add it to the lexicon, folks.
After two whole decades, we Mean Girls fanatics have finally had our prayers answered with a 2024 comedy musical remake of the iconic film. And for the upcoming release, the new stars – including Reneé Rapp and Angourie Rice – took to the red carpet premiere last night [8 January, 2024], along with some surprise OG cast appearances.
Stepping out alongside Tina Fey, Lindsay Lohan stole the spotlight with not only a cut-out bejewelled dress, but her trademark red hair, styled in extra long waves.
Now, as much as we love this mermaid-esque style, what initially drew our attention was the shine of her lengths. I mean, have you ever seen hair look so glossy? Bc we certainly haven't!
Late 2023, this style of luxurious-ness was coined as 'glass hair' and soon emerged as a sub-beauty trend. And TBH, this came as no surprise, seeing as hair health has continued to rise in popularity over recent years.
Clearly, despite having her hair styled daily with an abundance of products and heated tools, Lindsay has managed to maintain the integrity of her lengths; Of course, some are luckier than others (genetics 'n' all) but, if you're after a similar style to Lindsay's, then look no further.
Firstly, you're going to want to flesh out a nourishing haircare routine – whether you've got thinning hair, fine hair, or lacklustre hair, there's a shampoo and conditioner for all. Then, to upkeep the gloss when styling, saturate wet hair with my favourite Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray before activating its humidity-proofing powers with heat.
Trust me, it's a game-changer.

Fetch glass-like hair for all! Cady, Gretchen and Regina would be proud, we're sure of it.
