Popgadget: Voltage iGlow is a sulf illuminating hair gel. By mixing fluorophors with an appropriate catalyst a chemical reaction occurs that produces the byproduct of light. No bulbs or batteries are necessary to create the glow, and the illumination shampoos right out. Essentially, wearing Voltage gel is the same as cracking open a raver glow stick and pouring the contents over your locks.
Directions are to open the container, add the powder (catalyst) to the gel (fluorophor suspension), run through hair, and dance! If you really want to maximize your potential glow for a short outing then heat up the gel with a hairdryer after application. The heat will make the gel burn much brighter, but it won’t last nearly as long. A 2 oz tube is $11, and should be enough for a couple of people to use for highlights.

iGlow – A New Glow In The Dark Technology That Creates Its Own Light.
USA: April 2008
A fab new range of Glow in the dark hair and body gels is taking the International party scene by storm. Manufacturer, MG Technologies, USA, has launched iGlow ™ Self-Illuminating gel onto the market after three years of intensive research and development. “The Glowstick has been around for many years”. said a spokesman for MG Technologies. “We wanted to create a completely new, state of the art, Glow product that was safe for use, yet versatile in application. Not an easy task as the formula is very complex.”
These stunning gels are far more sophisticated and versatile, and are fast gaining a reputation as the coolest glow in the dark products on the planet. iGlow works by creating its own source of light in total darkness, or indoors for at least 4 – 6 hours. The actual gel formula has been specially formulated for safe use on the hair and skin. The product is entirely self-illuminating, so there is no need for any kind of recharging, or external UV, neon or black light electrical units. Now you can literally “Glow in the Dark” like a firefly all night long!
“We have made the formula brighter.. and we expanded our colour pallet”. (4 colours in the Body Gel and 9 colours for our Hair gel.) With all of these vibrant colours you are able to turn yourself into a glowing multi coloured masterpiece, “Our product is great for special fx at Parties, Raves, Clubs, Music concerts and Festivals. The rave scene for example, has long used glow products to enhance the rave experience. UV gels, Battery operated Blinkies etc. Apart from sealed glowsticks, that’s all they had. They all needed some form of power source to make them glow. Turn out the lights and the glow was gone. IGlow solves that problem. The product will definitely turn heads and make you stand out from the crowd… If you want to be the centre of attention, and literally light up the room, use iGlow ”
While classed as a temporary chemiluminescent hair colour, iGlow only coats the hair with colour, does not dye it. The gel being the medium to carry the luminescence (the glow). This makes it totally safe to use on coloured or even bleached hair when used as directed. Just wash out after use.
Is it Safe? “Absoloutly. The safety factor is another huge plus for iGlow and it has been specifically formulated and tested for safe use on the skin and hair and is FDA and EU approved”.
This may not be the end of the glowstick era, but the iGlow range now gives you the chance to be more creative and produce eye catching special FX all year round.. Now you can party party all night long without the need for external lighting units such as UV etc. “That’s a huge bonus when you are outdoors at an all night fest or concert… It will even light up your immediate surroundings..
Wear this in your car and the whole interior will glow like a torch! So be careful, when driving, they may think the Aliens have landed J “ IGlow sells for $8.95 .
