Applying Hair Tinsel: A Step-by-Step Guide

Here's how to put in hair tinsel, creating a sparkly, eye-catching look!

What You'll Need:

• Hair Tinsel Strands (various colors available)
• Micro Beads or Silicone Rings (small, crimpable beads)
• Loop Tool or Crochet Hook (for pulling hair through the bead)
• Pliers or Crimping Tool (for securing the bead)
• Scissors

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Start with clean, dry hair. This helps the tinsel stay in place.

2. Select a Section of Hair: Choose a small, thin section of hair near your part or where you want the tinsel to be visible. A few strands are ideal – too much hair makes the bead bulky and less secure.

3. Threading the Bead:

   • Slide a micro bead or silicone ring onto the loop tool.
   • Carefully pull the chosen hair section through the loop tool and then slide the bead onto the hair. Position the bead close to the scalp, but not directly touching it.

4. Adding the Tinsel:

   • Fold the tinsel strands in half, creating a loop.
   • Thread the looped end of the tinsel through the micro bead, alongside the natural hair.

5. Securing the Bead:

   • Move the bead up towards the scalp until it's snug, but still comfortable. Ensure the tinsel and natural hair are pulled evenly through the bead.
   • Use pliers or a crimping tool to gently crimp the bead, securing both the hair and tinsel. Be careful not to crimp too hard, as this can damage the hair. A secure, but not overly tight, crimp is what you want.

6. Trimming the Tinsel: Trim the tinsel to your desired length. Generally, trimming it to match the length of your hair or slightly longer is a good starting point.

7. Repeat: Repeat the process to add more tinsel strands in different sections of your hair. Be mindful of spacing – you don't want to overcrowd one area.

Tips for Success:

• Color Matching: Choose tinsel colors that complement your hair color.
• Placement: Experiment with different placements to find what you like best.
• Bead Color: Use beads that closely match your hair color for a more discreet look.
• Practice: It may take a few tries to perfect the technique.
• Removal: To remove, gently open the crimped bead with pliers and slide the tinsel and bead off the hair.
• Tinsel Care: You can wash and style your hair as usual with tinsel in, but be gentle when brushing and avoid excessive heat on the tinsel itself.

Enjoy your sparkling new look!
