When it comes to applications, there are different techniques to wear glitter extensions on your head. According to stylists, the longest-lasting method is the single knot – a professional application method with which extensions are tied to individual hairs using a latch hook. Each extension will stay in until the hair sheds naturally, with sparkling results guaranteed to up to six weeks (as per the natural life cycle of your hair). Based on your colour choice, hair tinsel can enhance your natural colour or accentuate a crazy colour.
But don’t worry: hair tinsel extensions are made to be versatile, to be seen as a hair accessory rather than permanent hair extensions. These sparkly strands are designed to be low maintenance, and once they’re on they are easily incorporated into your daily routine, without requiring too much aftercare or any particular attention to it. You can wash, brush, and style it however you like, as hair tinsel is heat resistant too!

Although with a bit of practice - and the right installation kit - applying hair tinsel to your friends is quite easy, applying it to yourself is not recommended. Your eyes will hurt and your patience will be tested, although… It’s not impossible, and if you’re feeling particularly brave, you are officially invited to try this at home!
