Why using hairspray to put them back on ?

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

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

I have used a quick squirt of brake cleaner to fit grips recently. It evaporates and doesn't leave anything nasty behind.
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.

brake n carb cleaner is nasty shit

but you have to lift the grip , to let the WD40 flow between the grip and bars. And i think you have to use a tool for that.

So you can damage also the bars with it  :'(

a jewellers screwdriver is enough to lift it without damaging the grip or bars

I use those thin wooden Kebab skewers (ello matey peeps) & either wd40 type stuff or just water to get 'em off. Hairspray 'em on  :daumenhoch:
