Following in glass skin’s footsteps, glass hair is absolutely taking over the social media-verse right now. It’s shiny, healthy-looking hair with polish and perfection; the kind we all lust after and associate with celebrities and runway models.
If you’re seeking silkier strands thanks to this trend, we’ve come up with the ultimate solution – the skelp! Gloss Boss Hair Oil. Inspired by skincare, it’s packed with peptides, vitamins, and other ingredients found in your favourite formulas.
Gloss Boss is more than just the best hair oil for growth, smoothness, and shine – it’s also your scalp saviour, providing nourishment, strength, and protection. Learn how it works and exactly how to incorporate it into your routine.
Why you need to start treating your haircare like skincare
When it comes to fuller, shinier, happier hair, it all starts at the scalp – in fact, that’s our mission here at skelp! By treating your haircare like skincare, with a focus on scalp health, you’re targeting concerns at the root and giving your strands the best possible shot at growing long and strong.
So, how do you do it?
-
Follow a structured routine: While it doesn’t have to be 10 steps long, having a set haircare routine – just like you would a skincare routine – is key to seeing results sooner rather than later. Repetition is key!
-
Focus on powerful actives: We’ve all heard of active ingredients in a skincare context, and they’re just as important when it comes to caring for your hair. Choose actives that suit your hair type and concerns, then incorporate them into your routine to start reaping the benefits.
-
Utilise scalp-loving ingredients: When selecting your haircare products, don’t skimp on the scalp. Ingredients that target scalp health are just as important, if not more so, than ingredients that focus solely on your strands.
Why use Gloss Boss Hair Oil for glass hair?
If you’re chasing smooth, silky hair with that glass skin look and feel, skelp!’s Gloss Boss Hair Oil is a must-have product in your regimen.
It’s been designed with long-term scalp and hair health in mind, delivering benefits like:
-
Max hydration: Regardless of your skin type, your scalp needs to be hydrated to be happy – flakiness or dry sections are a sign of distress! Gloss Boss seals in moisture to the scalp and root of the hair, leading to stronger and more nourished locks over time.
-
Better scalp health: Good hair starts at the scalp, and Gloss Boss is championing that cause. Tailored ingredients improve circulation to the scalp, increasing blood flow and encouraging thicker, more resilient strands to grow.
-
Improved shine: Want glossy hair straight from the pages of a magazine (or, more accurately, your favourite hairspiration Instagram account)? Well, Gloss Boss is on it, encouraging shine and silkiness with every use thanks to its unique blend of ingredients.
-
Environmental protection: An overlooked part of caring for our hair is ensuring it’s protected against the elements, such as UV rays and common pollutants found in the air. While there are manual ways to do this (like wearing a hat or trying hair sunscreen) the easiest option is to routinely use a product with antioxidant benefits like Gloss Boss.
The scalp-saving ingredients behind Gloss Boss
What makes Gloss Boss Hair Oil so effective is its stellar line-up of ingredients. Just like your skin, your hair needs more than one active to see results – which is why we’ve curated no fewer than five incredible, complementary ingredients to get the job done.
Let’s take a look at each one and how it works wonders for your hair and scalp:
-
Rosemary oil: Popularised by TikTok and an endless camera roll of before and after pics, rosemary oil is the GOAT when it comes to a healthier scalp and thicker, stronger hair. It stimulates the scalp’s micro-circulation, encouraging new hairs to grow and soothing irritation at the same time.
-
Peptides: We couldn’t formulate a skincare-inspired product without including peptides. Traditionally used in anti-ageing skincare, peptides are absolutely killer if you’re trying to improve your scalp health. They improve the firmness and elasticity of the scalp, which in turn, is crucial for better hair growth.
-
Biotin (vitamin B7): If rosemary oil for hair is a new fave, then biotin – AKA vitamin B7 – is the OG when it comes to growth support. It’s got a range of skills, including boosting volume and thickness and adding shine to your strands when used consistently.
-
Squalane: This dry hair saviour is another must in your routine if you’re seeking glass hair, as it deeply nourishes the scalp as well as your strands. The best bit is, it’s lightweight – so if your hair tends to feel weighed down by traditional moisturising ingredients, you’ll reap all the benefits of hydration without any of the heaviness.
-
Vitamin C: One of the most important things we need to do for our hair and scalps is protect them – there are lots of environmental factors that can destroy hair health, including UV rays and pollutants. This oil-soluble version of vitamin C delivers antioxidant protection and helps to repair existing damage, including from heat styling.
Two ways to use Gloss Boss for shinier, stronger hair
When we were dreaming up the Gloss Boss Hair Oil at skelp! HQ, we knew it had to be a multipurpose product – which is why there are two ways to use this little gem, not just one.
Each application method works wonders on its own – simply select the right one for you and incorporate it into your routine. Or, if you’re really on the shine train, you can do both without worrying about your hair feeling oily and heavy.
For pre-wash nourishment
If your hair is in need of hydration, use Gloss Boss as a pre-wash treatment to lock in moisture and give your scalp a pick-me-up.
-
Prior to getting into the shower, apply Gloss Boss to the scalp.
-
Leave it to work its magic for 5-10 minutes.
-
Shampoo and condition as normal.
Who it’s for: Apply Gloss Boss as a pre-shower treatment if your scalp is dry or flaky, or if you have dry to normal hair. You can use it if you’re oily, too – just leave it on for less time.

Shampoo and condition the hair as normal.

Wait until the hair is damp or completely dry.

Pipe a few drops of Gloss Boss into your hand.

Hair oil FAQs you need to read
Should you use hair oil every day?
No two hair oils are the same, so some – like Gloss Boss – are perfectly fine for daily use, whereas others may be more effective when used less frequently.
For most of us, it’ll come down to the weight of the formula paired with how thin or thick your hair is. Because Gloss Boss is super lightweight, you can sprinkle your scalp and strands with it daily and still enjoy soft, clean-feeling hair until your next wash.
If you’ve got thin hair that shows every drop of product, you might prefer to use Gloss Boss every second day or as a twice-weekly treatment, depending on your chosen application method.
Do you apply hair oil on wet or dry hair?
Once again, the answer to this question depends on your chosen hair oiling treatment. We can only speak to Gloss Boss, which can be applied on either wet or dry hair.
If you’re looking for max nourishment, apply your Gloss Boss to a dry scalp before shampooing and conditioning. For strength and shine, pop a couple of drops on damp hair after your shower. Can’t decide? Just do both!
How long should you leave hair oil on your scalp?
Most hair oils, including the skelp! Gloss Boss Hair Oil, should be left on the scalp for 5-10 minutes when used as a pre-wash treatment. This stops the product from coating your strands prior to shampooing and conditioning, as for some hair types, this can lead to greasiness at the root. However, there’s no hard and fast rule – some products may be fine to leave for longer, or require less time on the scalp to be effective.
How do you apply hair oil correctly?
If you’re using Gloss Boss as a pre-wash treatment, you can apply the product directly to your scalp using the dropper. Aim to distribute evenly for consistent results. Don’t skimp on a head massage once you’ve applied your Gloss Boss – the more you work the hair oil into your scalp, the more it’ll penetrate the skin and hair follicle.
For smoother, shinier hair, you can also use Gloss Boss after you’ve washed your hair. This time, apply the product directly to your strands rather than the scalp. Pipe a few drops into your hands to warm the product, then run your fingers through the lengths and ends of your hair to disperse it.
Is hair oil the same as hair gloss?
No – characteristically, hair oils and hair gloss treatments are different. Hair oils can deliver a broad range of benefits to the hair, including fighting scalp flakiness, encouraging hair growth, and adding moisture, depending on your chosen product.
Meanwhile, hair glosses are designed to smooth the hair cuticle and add shine. Some are also tinted for a colour refresh between salon visits.
If you’re looking for all the benefits of a hair gloss (minus the colour) as well as long-lasting results like improved hair and scalp health, try the skelp! Gloss Boss Hair Oil.
It’s time to start treating your haircare like skincare if you want to see results – and skelp’s! Gloss Boss Hair Oil is the first step. Formulated with ingredients found in your fave skincare formulas, Gloss Boss works from the root to deliver amazing benefits to both the scalp and your strands.
