Your questions about hair tinsel answered here: What is hair tinsel?  Bling string, hair dazzle, sparkle strands, hair shimmers and fairy hair are all the same thing - Hair tinsel. Where can you get hair tinsel/fairy hair/glitter hair:  Obviously, right here at our FunHairShop.com site with free shipping and a happiness guarantee.  We also sell on Amazon.  Just look for InstaTinsel.  We are the only company that makes it.  we have a patent on it.  However, you can get all kinds of bags of single strands online from China from other companies. They can be real cheap.  Be careful, once you open the package and pull one out, the rest may tangle up into a rats nest.  Also, be sure to get at least 40 inch long because you will have to fold it in half and double it to tie it or bead it in, unlike ours.  For most DIY clients and professional hairstylists, it just not worth the hassle.  What is our hair tinsel made out of?  It is made of a polymer fiber. Nearly indestructible. It looks quite like mylar.  However, not all hair tinsel is the same. Ours can take heat up to 400 degrees.  Ours will NOT melt onto your hair, even if you go hotter with your flat iron or hold it in the iron for a while.  It will merely crinkle and you should be able to run back over it with a cooler iron to smooth it out again.  How do you put in (install) hair tinsel?  We do not recommend the old fashioned way of literally tying one strand at a time onto single hairs.  Not only is the tiny square knot over a slip knot a challenge to tie while holding up one or two hairs, but the tinsel strand commonly slides off or the hair falls out with the tinsel on it.  If you happen to want the tinsel out before it falls out, you will have to pluck out those hairs to remove them.  If they were tied well, they will stay in and the knot will grow down your hair as your hair grows about a half an inch a month. The only alternative way, besides our tape-in tinsel strips is to bead them in.  You will need a threader and tiny hair extension beads to clamp a few strands onto a few hairs.  Be sure to thread enough hair, so that, if you snag the bead with a brush, you will not rip out your hair.  Use beads that have a silicone band inside to protect the hair from breakage. You will need pliers to unflatten the bead to move the tassel of tinsel up closer to your scalp every couple weeks. We recommend the fastest, easiest way to attach removable, reusable hair tinsel extensions is to use our stick-on InstaTinsel strips (on professional hair extension tape, just like tape-in hair extensions).  Put the strips under a light layer of hair, near the scalp. The sparkling strands subtly peek through the hair, sparkling in the light like metallic hair highlights. You can wash and heat style your hair for weeks with them in. They last up to 6 weeks, yet slide right out when applying common rubbing alcohol or hair healthy oil (coconut, olive, argon...) to the adhesion.

Answer: Yes, you can reuse the full sized (1.5 inch) strips again, even if you sandwiched with one-sided tape.  Just work the pieces apart slowly and carefully as you work the rubbing alcohol, remover or oil into the adhesion.  Soon it will become slick, instead of sticky and you can slide both pieces off your hair. If you are talking about the little pieces that you cut from the strip to use for streaks, it is more tricky.   First, when you remove them, peel the "taco or burrito" fold open a bit to add the rubbing alcohol or olive oil.  Let it work itself in as you peel back a little at a time.  hold the hair to the scalp, so there is no pulling.  Take your time and continue to peel off gently. As it slides out, stick it onto something to save them - the inside of your medicine cabinet, the mirror, the inside of ziplock bag or foil work well.  When you are ready, clean off the sticky side with rubbing alcohol and allow to dry.  Then attach a piece of two sided hair tape (available at funhairshop.com) ad save for next time you want to put them in.
