Get The Look | Photo Finish Hair

Thanks to popular social trends like the clean girl look and Sophia Richie’s sleek bun, there has been a return to more polished and finished hair. 

McKnight calls this trend “Photo Finish Hair,” which focuses on showcasing shine rather than the wet-look, slick back buns previously in vogue. 

The look concerns the photo-flash finish he frequently sees during shoots and backstage at shows. The way light reflects on hair gives it an ultimate glossy, mirror-like shine. The style is a “cool girl ponytail” with a luxurious finish.

To achieve “photo finish hair,” keep the hair feeling super light and clean. Ensure your hair is freshly cleansed and rinsed thoroughly to avoid any conditioner residue. 

Use lightweight styling products that boost shine and smooth strands. Frizzy or fluffy hair will not reflect the light and give a glass-like shine. 

Finally, finish with an oil, which is the product that makes a significant difference and is the secret to runway-worthy gloss.
