The spray is nice and wet so the grip slides on easy, then the spray sets and turns sticky, so the grips are stuck to the bars and don't move.

and how to remove the grips later?  ;D

stevepeanut:
hair spray sets and makes the grips stick good, but its also fine when you want to remove them, washing up liquid or wd40 and they come off again ok

This might not be a good idea on painted bars and there is the chance it could make the grip go a bit funny depending on what they are made of. It was fine on chrome bars and rubber grips I put on my daughters MTB.
