How to Attach Hair Bling Tinsel

Add a bit of bling to long or short hair with hair tinsel.

Add a bit of hair bling tinsel to your hair for a subtle way to put a bit of pizazz into your long or short locks. The colorful and break-resistant tinsel, whether it's just a few strands or a head full of color, can withstand several washings and stays in for several days during any regular hair styling. If you can tie a knot, you can add some bling to your hair.

Things You'll Need

• Comb or brush
• Hair tinsel

Instructions

Attach the Bling

1. Comb or brush your dry hair until smooth.

2. Separate out one strand of hair (two strands if your hair is fine) near your part line, and hold it between your thumb and forefinger where you want to add your first bit of bling.

3. Take one strand of tinsel, find its approximate midpoint and bend it in half with the loop at the top.

4. Lay the strand of hair over the tinsel loop so the hair strand crosses the loop. Take the two ends of the tinsel and pull back through the loop to form a loose slip knot.

5. Slide the knotted tinsel up to the hair's root, then pull the tinsel tight.

6. Smooth down the tinsel and repeat throughout the hair until you have the amount of bling you want.

Tips & Warnings

• Practice adding bling to your hair. The process can be frustrating at first, but in a short time you'll find it becomes more routine—and you may find your own way of tying knots. You may also want someone to assist you in the beginning.
