Wash, condition and dry your hair. Style your hair as required to fit your costume. If possible, wait before applying the hairspray, until after the color spray has been applied -- unless your style is complicated and requires hairspray to effectively stay in place.

Put on an old bathrobe or cover yourself with a sheet or old button up shirt. Hold the spray can one foot from your head and begin spraying it; move the can slowly over sections of your hair continuously spraying to get even coverage.

Allow the first layer to dry and examine your hair for areas you missed. If you are alone use a hand mirror to check the back of your head. Spray areas for five seconds and examine, then spray again as needed, to fully cover patches. Let spray dry for five minutes.
