SimplyHair Gold Hair Tinsel:

Add a touch of glitter to your services with easy to apply hair tinsel. Hair tinsel can be applied using the knotted strand method, nanorings or tape. Hair tinsel can last anywhere up to 6 weeks and can be washed and styled using heated tools. Apply as little as 20 single strands for a subtle twinkle, or an entire pack for full-on glitter glam.

Take a single piece of tinsel, folded in half, and create a triangular shape between two fingers to create a cow hitch knot.

Step one Step four

Pull the knot tight against the strands in an upwards motion, so that the knot secures tightly right at the scalp. Separate the two ends of the tinsel, and tie these 2-3 times to tightly secure the piece of tinsel to the strands of hair.

Step two Step five

Pull the loose section of the tinsel through the centre of the triangle shape you have created, to form a loop (cow hitch knot).

Repeat the entire process until you have secured your desired amount of tinsel.

Step three Step six

Take a few strands of hair, ideally 1-3 strands, and thread the hair through the centre of the knot.

SimplyHair top tip: Tinsel can be styled with low heat into beautiful waves and curls.
