This Is A Thing: Shellac For Your Hair

Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

Sure, it might sound bizarre, but we just discovered a shellac product that’s meant to be used on your hair. Color Wow Pop & Lock Crystallite Shellac ($18) is a lightweight gloss that helps seal the hair cuticle to trap color and moisture while locking out dryness. And although there are major differences between shellac for your hair versus shellac for your nails, the two are very similar. Both shellac for your nails and hair will extend the life of your color, protect and offer a high shine finish (both contain mica for shimmer).

It sounded kind of crazy at first, but that’s only because we’ve always thought of shellac as a nail polish. Turns out that it’s actually works wonders for your hair too, especially if it’s color-treated. This is the first haircare product we’ve ever noticed having shellac in it, but we’re pretty certain it’s going to become a huge trend within the haircare world as soon as everyone finds out how amazing it is.
