How to Put in Hair Tinsel

Hair tinsel is a fun and trendy way to add some sparkle to your hair. It's a thin, lightweight, and often metallic strand that can be woven into your hair to create a shimmery effect. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to put in hair tinsel;

What you'll need:


1. Hair tinsel strands (can be found in beauty supply stores or online)

2. A fine-toothed comb or hairbrush

3. Hair clips or elastics to section your hair

4. Optional: a spray bottle filled with water or hair detangler to make the process smoother

Step-by-step process:


  • Prep your hair: Make sure your hair is clean, dry, and free of any tangles or knots. Comb or brush your hair thoroughly to ensure it's smooth and manageable.


  • Choose a section: Decide where you want to add the hair tinsel. You can choose a small section near your face or go for a more scattered look throughout your hair. It's a good idea to select strands of hair that are easily visible so that the tinsel stands out.


  • Cut the tinsel: Hair tinsel strands are usually quite long, so you'll need to cut them to the desired length. A length of about 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) is typically suitable for most hair types. You can always trim them later if needed.


  • Take the tinsel strand and create a small loop at one end. You can do this by folding the strand over itself to form a loop.


  • Thread the tinsel through your hair: Place the loop under the section of hair you've chosen. Now, take the loose ends of the tinsel and pass them through the loop, pulling them all the way through until the loop is secured around the strand of hair.


  • Tie a knot: Pull the tinsel tight to ensure it's securely fastened to your hair. Tie a simple knot with the tinsel and your hair to keep it in place.


  • Repeat as desired: If you want more tinsel strands, simply repeat the process in different sections of your hair. You can use multiple colors or just one color, depending on your preference.


  • Trim the ends (optional): If the tinsel strands are too long for your liking, you can trim the loose ends with scissors to the desired length.


  • Style your hair: Once you have all the tinsel strands in place, style your hair as usual. You can curl, straighten, or braid your hair without worrying about the tinsel falling out.



Tips


1.    Avoid using heat tools like straighteners or curling irons directly on the tinsel, as they can melt or                        damage the delicate strands.


2.    If you have trouble threading the tinsel through your hair, you can dampen your hair slightly with                     water or a hair detangler to make it more manageable.


3.    Remember, hair tinsel is temporary and can last for several days to a few weeks, depending on your hair type        and how well you care for it. When you're ready to remove the tinsel, simply untie the knots and gently slide        the strands out of your hair.
