Hair Tinsel!

Hair tinsel has been popular the last few years, but ESPECIALLY this summer it seems! What do you think about it? This client of mine is 32, and she was afraid she was too old for it. For that I say : ABSOLUTELY NOT! Tinsel is for everyone, regardless of age. It’s the perfect, temporary addition. For me personally, I use beads to install. They last my clients roughly 4-6 weeks with proper care and I only charge 20$ for the entire head!

... Read moreSo many of you ask about hair tinsel, especially about specific colors and how it looks on different hair types! It's true that the beauty of tinsel lies in its versatility, allowing you to personalize your sparkle. For my client's brown hair, just like the image shows with its multiple strands of sparkling pink and red hair tinsel, the combination was absolutely stunning! It added such a vibrant pop and caught the light beautifully. But what about other hair colors and tinsel shades? If you have black hair, blue hair tinsel or silver can create a really striking, ethereal glow that stands out. Pink hair tinsel on black hair also gives a beautiful, bold contrast. For those with red hair, gold, green, or even a deep blue tinsel can truly make your strands sparkle and complement your natural fiery tones. And don't forget lighter hair! Pastel pink, blue, or iridescent tinsel blends beautifully for a fairy-like effect, while brighter shades can make a bolder, more playful statement. Many of you are also curious about how long hair tinsel lasts, especially from popular places like Ulta. While I personally use beads for installation that give my clients roughly 4-6 weeks of sparkle with proper care, the longevity can vary. Ulta tinsel, or any tinsel installed without beads (like clip-ins or tied-in strands), might last a bit less, typically 1-3 weeks depending on your hair care routine and activity level. The key to making your tinsel last, whether it's pink and red hair tinsel or any other color, is proper care. Gently shampooing and conditioning, avoiding excessive heat styling directly on the tinsel, and being careful when brushing are crucial. Some even suggest using a detangling spray to prevent snags. Remember, it's a temporary accessory, so treat it with a little extra love to maximize its shine! Now, about 'permanent' hair tinsel – that's a common misconception! Hair tinsel is inherently a temporary addition. It's designed to be a fun, non-committal way to add sparkle without altering your hair permanently. The 'permanence' refers more to how long it stays in *before falling out or needing removal*, not that it's a dye or chemical treatment. My bead method aims for maximum temporary wear, letting you enjoy that sparkle for weeks without damage. So, if you're looking for a semi-permanent change, tinsel isn't it. But if you want a vibrant, temporary boost of glamour, especially with gorgeous pink and red strands like my client's brown hair, it's absolutely perfect for adding that special touch to your look. It truly is for everyone who wants to add a touch of magic!
