Tinsel Hair Extensions

To put in hair tinsel, fold a strand of tinsel in half to create a loop. Place it over a small section of hair near the root, thread the ends through the loop, and pull to tighten. Tie a secure double knot with one or two strands of your hair to keep it in place. You can also use a slip knot or a small silicone bead for extra hold.

Hair tinsel can last anywhere from 3 days to 3+ weeks, depending on the method used and how well you care for it. Knotted tinsel will typically fall out naturally with your hair’s shedding cycle, while bead-installed tinsel lasts longer and is reusable.

Yes, most high-quality hair tinsel is heat-resistant and can be safely styled with curling irons, flat irons, and blow dryers—typically up to 350°F (175°C).

Important:

• Always check the packaging or product details for the exact heat tolerance.
• Use a lower heat setting when possible to extend the life of the tinsel.
• Avoid clamping directly on the knot or bead to prevent loosening.

Yes, hair tinsel is safe when installed and removed properly.

• It attaches to individual strands of hair using a gentle knot or bead—no glue, heat, or chemicals required.
• It naturally sheds with your hair’s normal cycle, so there’s no damage.
• Always avoid tugging or brushing too aggressively at the root to protect both your hair and the tinsel.

If tied using a knot:

1. Locate the knot: Find where the tinsel is attached near the root.
2. Loosen gently: Hold the base of the strand and gently pull or untie the knot with your fingers or a pointed comb.
3. Slide it out: Once the knot is loosened, the tinsel should slide out easily without pulling your hair.
   

If installed with a bead (micro ring):

1. Use pliers: Grab a pair of hair extension pliers (or small flat pliers).
2. Clamp the bead in reverse: Gently squeeze the bead in the opposite direction it was originally clamped to open it.
3. Remove the tinsel and hair: Slide both out carefully. Be gentle to avoid tugging your hair.
   

Pro Tips:

• Always remove tinsel slowly and gently to avoid breakage.
• Don’t cut it out unless you can clearly see where your hair ends.
• If the knot feels too tight, apply a bit of conditioner to help loosen it.
