Tinsel Town



When it comes to holiday hair styles, few trends scream Christmas and New Years like hair tinsel. Hair tinsel was made famous by Beyoncé on the red carpet of the 2010 Grammy Awards. Beyoncé wore hair tinsel that was lighter than her hair colour for a highlighting effect.


Hair tinsel is braided into the strands of your hair without any adhesive, and can be washed, styled and blow-dried. When tied into the hair, hair tinsel can last for up to two weeks. Available in nearly any colour, hair tinsel allows for an endless possibility of looks and styles. The strands of glitter suit any hair colour and provide a much needed touch of glamour during the holidays. 


For a subtle sparkle, go for hair tinsel that is close to your hair colour. If you want more contrast and dimension, try a lighter or darker shade. For the more adventurous, pair your red holiday party dress with matching tinsel locks. Hair tinsel looks stunning when woven into braided and twisted hair styles or when simply worn straight and sleek. 

Asides from the aesthetics, hair tinsel is attractive because it is easy to install into hair. Watch this video to learn how to DIY.
