Here’s what you’ll need to make your very own hair glitter:

What You’ll Need:

• Hair Gel (any brand will do!)
• Glitter in any color or shape (we opted for blues and tiny soccer balls to match our soccer uniforms—because why not?)
• 2 oz Cosmetic Jars (I snagged a pack of these on Amazon, and they’re perfect for storing your glitter gel creations)
• A Stir Stick

How to Make It:

Start by grabbing your glitter. We used a 1/4 teaspoon to measure out 3 scoops of glitter. Go wild with the colors—mix and match for a super fun look!
For an extra twist, we added a dash of tiny soccer balls to our glitter mix. You can add whatever fun shapes you like! Stars, hearts, unicorns—whatever floats your glitter boat.
Once your glitter is ready, add in your hair gel. No need to measure—just pour in enough to cover the glitter and then mix it all up with your stir stick.
And voilà! Your custom hair glitter is ready to use!

How to Use It: Scoop a bit of your homemade glitter gel onto your fingertips and smooth it onto your hair. You can go all out for full sparkle or just add a touch for a subtle shimmer. It’s perfect for dressing up ponytails, braids, or buns—basically, any hairstyle you want to give a little extra pizzazz.

Endless Possibilities! The best part? The possibilities are endless! You can make this glitter gel to match any outfit, sports team, or special occasion. Feeling fabulous for a night out? Go for golds and silvers. Want to match your team’s colors? Find glitters that scream team spirit. It’s all about having fun and getting creative with your sparkle!

Bonus Tip: These little glitter jars also make super cute gifts or party favors. We added a custom 2″ sticker to the top and gifted them to our entire soccer team! (get my Canva sticker template here) Just whip up a batch, pop the glitter gel into those cosmetic jars, and give them out to friends. Trust me, they’ll love it!

So, whether you’re getting ready for a big soccer game, a festival, or just want to add some shine to your day, this DIY hair glitter will have you sparkling in no time. Get creative, have fun, and let your hair do the dazzling!
