A disco ball isn’t necessarily our first source of inspiration when it comes to hair and makeup — unless it’s New Year’s Eve when glitter is a requirement. The only other time of year we want to look as shimmery, glowy, and reflective as possible is festival season. The spirit of music festivals calls for all the bold beauty trends we normally wouldn’t rock in real life. Case in point: florals in our ‘fro, metallic temporary tattoos on our face (and other places that would make mom cringe), and, again, lots of glitter.
You can utilize palettes, lipsticks, and highlighters packed with shimmer on your face, and glitter hairsprays make it possible to have the same amount of fun with your strands. Ahead, we rounded up some of our favorite formulas to pack in your bag before Coachella commences. Each one will make your hair shine on Instagram without making it feel stiff and gritty.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
A spritz of this product will add fine flecks of silver to your hair. But unlike the glitter sprays your mom used for our childhood Halloween costumes, this won’t make your hair feel stiff. It’s infused with argan oil and keratin protein to soften your strands.

Some glitters are for hair only. But this Briogeo mist can be used from head to toe. Shake up the purple liquid and mist it over your hair and limbs for an iridescent glow that intensifies in the sunlight.

Okay — this technically isn’t a spray, but hear us out. It’s a new strobing gel from Bumble and Bumble that can be used on your hair, face, and body. We’re already thinking of all the ways we can lay our baby hairs and make our décolletage pop with this one product.
