Glitter is making a statement in the hair world, seen as a tool to hide roots, to shine a little light into your life and as a fashion statement for vacations and celebrations.

Hair by 901 salon in L.A. gathered their best artists share with us two very special how-to’s by Tabitha Duenas with her sparkly baby buns and Brianna Colette who shares a shimmering flower crown braid for the princesses that are looking for a more spectacular accessory to add shine to their life. Learn how to get the looks using UNITE products!
