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.

What is the best brand of hair tinsel for little girls?:
Our new trending InstaTinsel product is great for kids because it does not damage the hair and it is removable at home by parents or in the salon by their hair stylist.
How do I put in hair tinsel on my daughter at home? She is a little girl with fine, thin hair
InstaTinsel is the perfect way for moms to add sparkle to their daughter's hair without damaging it or losing hair. Many little girls just want a little streak to frame their face. 32 can be cut from each package. Just cut a half in strip of the transparent professional hair tape at the top of the fairy hair tinsel fringe and wrap it around a small twist of hair. Done! or use any size strip and just stick it on flat under a light layer of hair. Just as easy as a sticker. InstaTinsel strips are hair tinsel fused on professional hair tape strips that can be cut any size.
They stay in even longer - up to 6 weeks when fused with a flat iron onto hair. Just keep heavy conditioners away from the adhesions. These strips are removable without damaging hair. They last with washing up to 6 weeks. 30 colors available.
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. Attach 150+ sparkling, dazzling strands in 5 minutes on 8 easy to apply strips under a light layer of hair! Or you can cut just a half inch of one strip to put in a dazzling sparkling streak or two Perfect for special events, festivals, parties, costume, sports fans, school colors, dances, parades, exotic evenings, cheerleading, for entertainers and for every day. Adding brilliant bling strands for a celebrity, glamourous look that gets plenty of attention. Instantly attach or remove hundreds of strands. Waterproof. Heatproof. Reusable. We carry 30 colors - 7 holographic colors, 5 natural metallic hair colors, and plenty of vivid bright neon colors. We even carry neon rainbow which is a blend of 4 bright, vivid neon colors that change ever couple inches on each strand.
Only available online. Custom crafted in the USA by a female creator, fabricator and owner at Funhairshop.com
Question: I was wondering if you do the small streak method, can you use them again?
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.

One Streak: Most stylist charge $5 - $25 for one streak which is made from 1/4 of one weft strip wrapped around a small twist of hair and flat ironed. It takes 1 minute flat. One package would make 32 streaks. That would give you $160 - $800! Kid's salons and festival booth vendors make a killing with enthusiastic customers.

Hair Tinsel Reinvented by FunHairShop
Installing tons of tinsel is easy, cheap, quick and a non-intimidating way to change up your hair
The hashtag #hairtinsel has more than 1.6 million video views on TikTok, and some top videos have been liked more than 50,000 times.
Ladies and girls trying their hand at DIY and professional hairstylist have progressed to using crimping beads with several strands in them to add their tinsel. The effect is harsh streaks in the hair. Many of the tutorial videos show how-to DIY hair tinsel installation at home using the tie in one strand at a time as well as the bead clamp method. If you have ever given these methods a try, you will be thrilled with the all over even effect of tape-in tinsel extensions.
The old-fashioned installation of the individual strands is usually done via a slip-knot method. A lengthy piece of shimmering tinsel is folded in half, then tied around an anchor piece of hair. Once the tied piece is secure, it appears as two strands in the hair. It can then be trimmed to match the length of your hair. All that for only two shiny threads buried in the hair?!! You need to tie 100 to get the peekaboo glimmer effects that Insta-tinsel offers in less than 5 minutes.
Our tinsel can often be heat styled and washed normally, though it is recommended to use temperatures under 400 degrees. When installed by a professional, high-quality strands last up to 6 weeks when backed by one-sided professional hair tape, which we also offer.
While some beauty retailers do sell hair tinsel, it is sold only in packs of shiny threads. As soon as the packaged is opened, it becomes a nest of tangles.
We sell our tinsel shimmers in standards sized weft strips on professional hair tape and also on hair clips. We do not sell the tie-in or clamp-in type of yester year. Every other brand does though, if you like to tie knots or clamp in harsh streaks in your hair with crimping beads. Both of these methods cause hair loss and breakage.
Our stick-in hair tinsel wefts are still budget-friendly and even more so because they can be reused. Just order two-sided hair tape with your order.

silky long, straight hair is in and really highlights the gorgeous shimmering tinsel strands.

HAIR TINSEL IS BACK! CREDIT FOR THE CRAZE GOES TO GEN Z TEENS AND TIKTOK
Gen Z teens are bringing back many trendy styles reminiscent of teens and young adults in the mid-2000s. The latest trend to join the list is none other than hair tinsel.
Hair tinsel gained popularity in 2010. Hair salons stocked up on the old fashioned tie-in iridescent shimmering strands as an inexpensive way to add dimension and intense highlights to hair.
Hair tinsel shined with popularity, yet faded quickly after just a couple of years because of how painstaking it was to tie in one strand at a time with minimal effect. Now, with FunHairShop.com's patented exclusive design girls and women are loving the simplicity of sticking on standard sized wefts of hair tinsel tape-in extensions with 200 evenly spaced sparkling strands throughout their hair in minutes - DIY and in salons.
The resurgence in popularity around hair tinsel may have celebrity roots. Kacey Musgraves wore a gorgeous long tinsel ponytail on her 2019 tour, and fans were raving about the new hit style. Saoirse Ronan wore a hair tinsel braid crown to the Governors Awards in November 2019.
Evan Mock manifested his rapid ascent to stardom by adding shimmer.
No matter how the resurgence arose, the trend is soaring among Gen Z, Gen X and even Millennials!
