The Buzz Around Hair Tinsel

Hair tinsel that little sparkle you see in women's hair.  Oprah mentioned the new product on here show last Friday.  The new hair bling goes by names like hair flairs, silk hair shimmers, bling strands, hair glitz, hair tinsel bling but hair tinsel is the standard name to go by.

The product can be found on many online stores selling it in 18" lengths and up to 36" lengths. There are two different kinds of tinsel one that has a sparkle  and one that has a flat color, no sparkle. Some companies call the flat color a shiny tinsel this is used for just adding color to your hair. The 3D tinsel has a brilliant sparkle to the strands and stands out more in your hair.

The tinsel is applied to a strand or strands of hair with a simple slip knot. There are plenty of how to videos and instructions to learn how to tie in hair tinsel.  Some people will find the hair tinsel difficult to install but with practice it is very simple actually. I would recommend starting off practicing with the 18" tinsel because the 36" is much harder to work with till you get the hang of it.

Hair tinsel comes in 20 sparkle colors, in all there are a total of 43 colors with both the shiny and the 3D colors. Choosing a color for your hair would depend on if you want it to really stand out or just go with a subtle look were the tinsel is hardly noticed.  Any of these looks can be achieved with all the different colors that are out there.
