Product Information

Safe for heat-styling: Tinsel is heat-safe so you can use all of your favorite hot tools with your tinsel extensions! That means you can blow dry, flat iron, curl, or wave your hair with tinsel in tow, no problem. Dark chestnut hair paired with purple tinsel offers a mysterious and moody aesthetic. The deep purple complements the brown, creating an enchanting depth. Consider an updo or a twisted crown to showcase the purple strands while maintaining sophistication. Stop braiding once you have gone about an inch down the hair. Slide a bead up one of the three strands of hair till you hit the end of the braid you have so far. Take a strand (or a few) of tinsel and hold it alongside a few strands of your hair. Don’t take hair too close to the hairline for better-blended extensions. Brushing your hair is the first step because tangles will make this process a bit more difficult. Along with that, your hair needs to be dry so it’s easier to pull through the bead. Depending on where you part your hair, section off an inch on each side of your part and clip that hair up. This step is especially important because you want to camouflage the microbeads that attach the hair tinsel to your hair. If you install the hair tinsel on the top section of your hair, the microbeads are going to be very noticeable.

Pay attention to the heat restrictions for the brand of hair tinsel you use. Some brands are rated for higher heats than other brands.

If you have shorter hair, you could cut them in half and have even more of them to use. What You’ll NeedLong term wear does not damage hair to any noticeable degree. Though you do need to be careful not to pull and tug at the strands to avoid breaking your hair off at the root. Nano rings are similar to microbeads but smaller. Their small size makes them perfect for thin or fine hair, as they are less visible than tape-in glitter extensions. They last about three or four months with regular maintenance.

When it comes to applications, there are different techniques to wear glitter extensions on your head. According to stylists, the longest-lasting method is the single knot – a professional application method with which real hair extensions are tied to individual hairs using a latch hook. Each extension will stay in until the hair sheds naturally, with sparkling results guaranteed to up to six weeks (as per the natural life cycle of your hair). Based on your colour choice, hair tinsel can enhance your natural colour or accentuate a crazy colour. If you're worried about the tinsel coming loose, consider securing the knot with a tiny drop of hair-friendly adhesive or clear nail polish. Let it dry thoroughly before styling. The tie-in technique doesn’t require any special tools, is easy to do, and allows you to get the most seamless look with your tinsel. But it takes longer, doesn’t last as long as microbead tinsel extensions, and limits the amount of tinsel you can apply to each section. Hair tinsel is not only trendy and cute – it’s also dead-simple to apply. You can always have a professional install/apply your tinsel in a salon, but if you’re trying to save money and DIY at home, we’ve got you covered.What length do you need? Most tinsel comes in the 48-inch length, which you can trim to the length of your own hair after applying. For tie-in tinsel, you’ll be folding the entire tinsel strand in half before tying it in so you’ll have less excess length to trim. Once you’re happy with the placement of your tinsel, use a clear elastic band or bobby pins to secure it in place. Hair tinsel is made from a type of material that can withstand high temperatures, so you can feel confident using heated styling tools like curling irons, flat irons and hair straighteners.

The trend started with people using temporary glitter hairsprays to add a little sparkle to their look. But now, there are professional glitter technicians and stylists who can help you achieve the style of your dreams – whether it’s a single accent glitter hair strands or an entire head of shimmering glitter extensions. It’s also a lot less time-consuming than the tie-in technique if you want a lot of sparkle in your strands! The tinsel extensions will stay in a lot longer – 6 to 12 months – when you use the microbead technique as well.

The effect is subtle but stunning, and it can be a great way to add a touch of sparkle to any hair color, hair length or hairstyle. Once your hair and hair tinsel is fished through in the bead, pull the bead up to your scalp and use the pliers to clamp it and secure the hair tinsel. Repeat the process until you have enough tinsel for your liking and finish by carefully trimming the tinsel to match the length of your hair. Tie-in hair tinsel should last about a week or two in the best case scenario. Microbead tinsel extensions should last anywhere from 6-12 months, but can be taken out anytime by breaking or loosening the microbeads.
