You’ve probably seen tinsel used with straight hair, but it also looks great with wavy or curly hair.
Most tinsel is between 20 and 47 inches (51 and 119 cm) long. If you have short hair, choose the smaller size so you don’t have to cut off the excess tinsel. Have fun picking a tinsel color! You could use tinsel that matches your hair color to add a slight shimmer to your hairstyle or pick bright, bold colored tinsel that stands out against your hair color.
If you’re unsure whether or not you’ve successfully made a slip knot, remove your fingers and pull the loop away. The loop should disappear instead of tightening into a knot.
Make sure that you pull the strands of hair completely through the loop so they don’t get tangled or knotted.
Feel free to wash, dry, and style your hair as usual. The tinsel is designed to blend into your hair and it won’t melt or break. You can repeat this a few times or knot the tinsel with the strands of hair if you want to keep the tinsel in your hair for several weeks.
You can also cut the knot with a pair of small scissors if you’re having a hard time sliding the knot off.
You can also check pharmacies for the tinsel tool or buy one online.
Have fun picking a color of tinsel that blends in with the color of your hair or stands out. Try a bright, neon color if you really want the tinsel to pop!
Practice doing this a few times until the motion feels comfortable. Keep pinching the tinsel and hair with your fingers while you’re using the tool.
The latch at the end of the tool should close as you pull the hair and tinsel through the loop. Keep holding the hair and tinsel with your thumb and forefinger so you can secure the knot.
You can wash, dry, and style your hair as usual since the tinsel won’t melt or break. For an extra-secure hold, you can tie another simple knot with the tinsel. Keep in mind that you may have a harder time removing the tinsel later.
If you’re struggling to slide the knot, take a small pair of scissors and carefully snip the knot.
