FAQs

What are glitter roots and how do you use them?

Glitter roots are a hair trend where glitter is packed along your parting or styled into your hair for added sparkle. You can have glitter painted onto your roots for a subtle shine or go bold with a dip and glitz ponytail to make a statement.

Can you add glitter roots to any hairstyle?

Yes, glitter roots work with various styles, including a signature updo or a ponytail. You can customise the placement and amount of glitter for a look that suits any occasion or personal style.

How easy is it to remove glitter roots from your hair?

Glitter roots can be difficult to remove after styling. The sparkle effect may linger longer than expected, so you might need extra effort or time to get all the glitter out of your hair.

Why are glitter roots popular on Instagram?

Glitter roots have become one of the biggest hair trends thanks to social media. A rogue Instagram post started their popularity, inspiring people to try the unique and eye-catching look for themselves.
