In today's tutorial, I'll show you how to tie hair tinsel! Some people find hair tinsel doesn't last very long and prefer to use micro-beads and pliers to apply hair tinsel, but I see it last for over a month using the tying technique demonstrated in this video. As long as you are tying the right knots and taking care of the tinsel, it can last a very long time.
Shoutout to my awesome mom for being my sparkly model in this video! I've been doing hair tinsel in her bangs for a few years and she changes up the colours every month to match different themes and holidays. The pink in this video is for Breast Cancer Awareness month! Donate to the American Breast Cancer Foundation here: www.abcf.org/get-involved/don...

three knots seems like it'll do the job! i just got fairy hair for the first time last weekend and ive already lost probably 75% of what was put in. the pieces falling out are *knotless* - i would think i'd see the knot still, where the tinsel slid down and off of the hair, but the lady basically only did that first knot you showed and left it at that, so theyre just coming totally undone! i got (a ridiculous amount of) hair tinsel from amazon. i have a barbie and a classic style my little pony who are about to be my beautification test subjects. i have faith in this three knots method thank youuu

This method is the best!! I hope it works for you! Make sure you get the “lock” I mentioned before tying the final knot and it should be extremely secure 😊

You could try that but the tinsel can be quite fragile so it may snap or give you a hard time tying it! You could also try twisting it into your curls with your fingers or wrapping it around a curling iron at a very low heat 😊

So i have a very interesting question. I curled my hair this morning (with my tinsel in, its pink which doesn’t matter really) I noticed earlier that my hair has been almost dyed looking pink 😳 what do i do? I haven’t found anything on it ANYWHERE I also have blonde highlighted hair so it’s pretty noticeable.

@ElizabethSparkles Жыл бұрын

Huh. That is super interesting. Is the tinsel still hanging there but the colour has transferred into your hair? Or did the tinsel basically melt into your hair? This is a first for me!

@reyseholladay Жыл бұрын

@@ElizabethSparkles The tinsel is still hanging there fine and intact, the color has just transferred on to my hair and actually on to my straightener as well. I guess I’ll update when I wash my hair tomorrow and see if it comes out 🤷🏼‍♀️

@reyseholladay yikes! Sorry to hear that happened! I usually only use heat on it at a verrrry low temperature otherwise it will melt, and some tinsel may not be able to take any heat at all 😬 hopefully it comes out when you wash it!

Does your hair need to be dirty or freshly washed?

@ElizabethSparkles 15 күн бұрын

Doesn’t really matter for the knot tying, but it can slide out when washing if you’re not super careful around the knot at the roots, so if you do it freshly washed you can maybe get a bit more longevity out of them before needing to wash again!

@missmollymay1989 3 ай бұрын

My tinsel still slides right off the root when I put it on! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong…😭

@ElizabethSparkles 3 ай бұрын

The “locking” where you pull the two sides of the tinsel away from each other and kind of twist back and forth is a very important step to keep it from sliding! You’ll feel it lock into place if you’ve tied the first two knots properly (and then one final knot to secure everything). It definitely takes a bit of practice to get the knots right, especially if you’re doing it on your own head!

@lexey8345 Ай бұрын

Legit how do yall get this to stay it just does not work for me

@ElizabethSparkles Ай бұрын

The second knot where you pull both sides apart and get it to lock is essential to keeping it in. Otherwise it will slide right out!

@gracieparak3257 Жыл бұрын

How long do they usually last?

@ElizabethSparkles Жыл бұрын

It really depends on how you care for it, and if it’s properly tied! I do a new colour every month for my mom and she usually has most of her tinsel left by the next month, so they last at least a month for her. She brushes very carefully and doesn’t heat style her hair. If you tie it the way I demonstrate in this video, it takes quite a bit of force to pull it out of the hair.

Still pulls out

@ElizabethSparkles 10 ай бұрын

After the second knot you should feel it lock into place! If it’s still pulling out, it probably didn’t lock properly with the knot. Sometimes you have to shimmy each side of the tinsel strand back and forth to get it to lock in before doing the final knot 😊

@briebrantley6866 9 ай бұрын

Mine never “locks”. It slid out as well.

@ElizabethSparkles 9 ай бұрын

I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling!! As long as your first two knots are done properly you should have no problem locking it! Separate the two strands and pull them away from each other up and down, left and right, and make sure it’s locked before tying the final knot with the two strands together. It’s definitely finicky and takes some practice!!

@Zombiechi-cz2ek 4 ай бұрын

Now what bout curly poofy hair

@ElizabethSparkles 4 ай бұрын

You can tie it in the same way, but it can be a struggle because the tinsel is soooo straight it’s hard to get it to blend in nicely with your natural hair. You can give the tinsel a bit of a curl really carefully with a curling iron on low heat and twist it around your natural curls, but depending on your curl pattern you may not love the way it looks! This knotting method should be secure either way, but the finished look will vary. 😊

@corinagrace1735 Жыл бұрын

Not sure what the benefit of a slip knot is as opposed to making a regular knot.

@ElizabethSparkles Жыл бұрын

The slip knot makes it easy to keep the two sides of the tinsel even, and to wrap it around the hair without making a tangled mess. From there you tie regular knots to secure it in place and keep it from sliding out. Tinsel lasts for weeks with this tying technique. Tie your tinsel whatever way works best for you! Just sharing what works best for me.

I’ve actually never tried it with beads, but I’ve tried hair feathers and coloured hair extensions using beads and I just don’t prefer them because they’re really bulky in the hair and I find the extension can get pulled out easily. But worth a try if you’re struggling with tying knots!

@ElizabethSparkles 10 ай бұрын

Hi! I just curl my hair normally and include the tinsel right in with my hair, I just make sure I do it in small sections at a low temperature. Definitely test your tinsel first to see how it reacts to the heat because some may not take the heat as well as others! Then I just use my fingers to wrap around and shape it into the curl if anything looks weird 😊
