Question about grips

My left side handlebar grip keeps sliding. It is not very loose but after about 30+ miles down the road it has slid maybe about a quarter of an inch. What keeps the grips on? is it just the tight rubber sleeve, or is there something else as well? Is there any kind of adhesive I can get to put on it to keep this from happening?
Thank in advance

Bicycle shops sell a grip glue, but I have always used hairspray from an aerosol can. I always found Alberto V05 worked best. NOT FROM A PUMP SPRAY...... from an aerosol can! I used to be a hardcore motocross racer, and also raced BMX bikes and did freestyle riding too. Remove the grip. Clean the bars really really well. Wash the grip in soap and warm water. Scrub the interior surface of the grip with a toothbrush removing any existing debris. Let the grip dry overnight, or use a hair-dryer or something to dry it completely. Apply the hairspray liberally to the inside of the grip, and while it is still wet, put it on immediately. Let it dry for a few hours,and then try to rotate it..... Good luck!..... JR

you can also use double-backed tape used for installing carpets. the tape is very thin. Just wrap the bar, pour a little mineral spirit on the tape or inside the grip. Then just slide the grip on. The liquid reacts to the tape, and end up being glue. It sets up pretty quick, so once you get the grip on, position it where you want it.
Will never slip or slide...
