We’ve spotted this latest style across the cat-walk and amongst festival goers. Glitter hair! This trend is perfect for the party or festival season, as nothing’s more fitting for the two than glitter. We’ve compiled the best of glitter hair and how you can rock the trend. Read on to get the look!

Glitter Hair: Inspiration & How to

We’re all familiar with glitter body paint, glitter eyeliner etc. However this new glitter hair craze is a new level of sparkle! We are in love with this super fun look not only for it aesthetics. Glitter hair can also be used to cover up dirty festival hair, perfect for the lazy party girl. Glitter fixes pretty much everything!

The glitter hair trend is so simple and can be worn in so many super creative ways. Most sport the slick back glitter look, whilst some add touches of sparkle throughout their roots.

If you suit your hair back, take on the look with the slick back style. This look is super edgy and runway ready, perfect for any themed or dress up parties. Simply pull your hair back into a ponytail or bun and gel/hairspray into place. Then, with your glitter of choice, sprinkle throughout your locks to create a super pretty, glittery veil. Hairspray again to finish so that sparkle stays in place!

We LOVE this glitter ponytail above! For girls that love to wear their hair down or want to rock their ZALA Hair Extensions, glitter partings are for you! This style won’t sacrifice your whole hair in glitter, yet still adds a touch of shine. You can even take it up a level and add braids in your hair for extra texture. Again, part your hair as you wish, spray along your parting with hairspray and carefully sprinkle over the glitter. This will give the sparkle something to adhere to – make sure to secure in place with a few extra sprays!

And if you’re really daring, we love this variation with gold leaf! So, what do you think of the trend? Super cute or over the top? We’re loving glitter hair at ZALA for the perfect party or festival hairstyle.

It’s safe to say bobby pins are a necessity when it comes to styling your hair! But, did you know there’s a few tips and tricks when it comes to these little hairstyle saviors? No?! We bring you these bobby pin hacks that will revolutionize your bobby pins!

 Bobby Pin Hacks

Do your bobby pins slowly fall out during the day? Helpful hint: The opening of the hook is exact size for the amount of hair a bobby pin should hold. If you’re struggling to make your pins stay in place, this little trick will keep them put! Stop opening the hook to slide into place.This will only force too much hair in your bobby pin therefore it can not properly close. Instead, gently push the pin into your hair without opening both prongs. This’ll also prolong the life of your bobby pins!

Still struggling to make them stay in place? Apply bobby pins using a weaving motion, catching hair from underneath for extra grip. Both these bobby pins will ensure those babies are going no where!

And if you’re bobby pins are still slipping, these bobby pin hacks will lock them in place. Secure those pins with either two haircare products. Hairspray or dry shampoo! By spraying each bobby pin just before application, you’ll create extra grip in your hair. Yay for long past bobby pins!

We bet you won’t be aware of this trick from our list of bobby pin hacks! You’re most likely applying them wrong… Bobby pins are actually supposed to be applied WAVY SIDE DOWN. By applying these hair grips correctly, you’ll be surprised at the difference with both grip and appearance! This will display the flat side of your bobby pin and in turn, make them more discreet in your hair.

I bet we can all relate to the strange disappearance of all bobby pins we’ve ever owned?! Well, if you seem to constantly lose or misplace them, here’s a helpful tip! Store your bobby pins in an old tic tac container or on a magnetic strip. This of all bobby pin hacks is a one of the best! You can even use decorative tape on the container to make it extra pretty.

 We hope we’ve put an end to your struggles with these bobby pin hacks!

If you’re familiar with hair chalk, you’ll know it’s a fun way to change up your hair without the commitment. However, hair chalks can be on the expensive side. Which is why we LOVE this super easy way to achieve pastel locks. DIY Hair Chalk! Read on to find out how you can get pink and purple hues at home.

 

DIY Hair Chalk

If you’re wanting a temporary hues of pastel coloured locks, this super simple DIY hair chalk requires only one tool! Makeup! What we love most is that you can use any colour you wish that might not be available in regular hair chalk shades.

1. As we are working with colour, be sure to cover your clothes to avoid marks and stains!
2. Select your desired shade by using an eyeshadow, pigment or blush of your choice.
3. Start with clean or second day old hair for styling.
4. Style as desired before applying the product into your hair. This will ensure you are happy with the product and how the colour sits in your hair.
5. Take a small section of hair and start applying the colour to your locks, just like you would your usual hair chalk. This is done by ‘sandwiching’ the section of hair between the product and your fingers.
6. Once you have the desired amount of product, brush through to ensure the colour is evenly dispersed. This will also remove any excess pigment!
7. Repeat until you achieve your desired look! Remember, this will be easiest to achieve a dip-dyed look. Don’t stress if you make a mistake! The best part about this DIY Hair Chalk is that it’s only temporary!
8. For a multi-tonal effect, you can switch between different shades of your chosen colour with each section of hair.
9. Once you’re happy with the colour placement, brush through to ensure there is no loose pigment. Spritz your hair with a hairspray to hold the colour in place!
10. To remove the colour, simply shampoo and condition and the colour will easily rinse out. Unlike hair chalks, this will not stain and will wash out easily in one go!

Keep in mind! This will work best on blondes or those will lighter coloured natural hair! Although, brunettes can achieve a similar effect by using more vivid shades.

This look is perfect for parties, festival or if you fancy changing up your look! Will you be trying this out?! If so, happy colouring! xx
