To Glitter Or Not To Glitter!!

During my stay in Finland I kind of became a fan of glitter hairspray. . .in Luxembourg it’s not such a common thing, you mostly only get it/wear it for carnival or so. . .

Of course you can’t wear it on every occasion (oh well actually you can but I’m not sure if it’s always „appropriated“ *grin*) but for special events, why not pimping your whole look with some sparkle in your hair? So far I applied it for (important) concerts, opera or when partying with „MY GIRLS“.

BUT be careful. . .it’s a bit of a tricky thing as you don’t want your whole face, cleavage/neckline, outfit and/or boyfriend, who accidentally stands next to you, to be full of glitter too!

If you use it for the first time it’s best to try it before on a sheet of paper or old newspaper to see how much glitter actually comes out and which is the best distance between the hair and spray as the consistency is a bit different than the one of usual hairspray. I usually cover my upper body with a bath towel and make up must also wait until „operation glitter“ is over!

In case the spray valve is blocked DON’T force anything or you might end up looking like a species from outer space. . .clean the valve (carefully!! with a thin needle or smooth tissue) and try again on some paper first. . .

You will find a bit of glitter everywhere anyway but whether you leave it as decoration (that’s the solution for the lazy ones among us) or your vacuum cleaner can glamour up its interior! (Just take care that your possible pets don’t swallow it. . .might not be the best nutrition!)

So my sweethearts, just dare to glitter!!

  1. Wow! Glitter hairspray! It's the same thing in Italy about their use which is limited to Carnival or funny events (not regular evenings) . To be honest it would not probably be my thing but it's a nice way to play with your hair and make your look special. I am just wondering how you can remove all those glitters. Do you just need to brush your hair or you have to wash them?

  2. Sure it's not a thing to do every day or to go to work! ;-)
    You can brush it out but simply washing it out works better!
