Anyone who has crafty little girls who love to use glitter will know this- this stuff is so difficult to get rid of. One craft project, and for the next 7 days, you’ll have a glimmer and a sparkle somewhere… and everywhere!
So, what’s this about putting it on your head?
The trick to its glittery greatness isn’t so much about dumping a load of sparkle onto your head and calling it a day. It’s a precise application directly on the roots and spreading the glitter no more than an inch away from your part. Sometimes it’s fine, concentrated lines of glitter. Other times, it’s a load of sparkles.
