Glitter roots option 1:
- Apply metal fix 08 metallic liquid pomade (gold or silver) to the tip of your brush and work on the scalp area either side of the hair part. If you don’t have a brush, use your fingers to paint onto the hair.
- Apply as little or as much as you would like to achieve your desired glitter root effect. Let it sit for five minutes to partially dry.
- Apply a second layer of metal fix 08 metallic liquid pomade.
- Finish the look with quick dry 18 instant finishing spray for strong hold.
