I love that your mom has fun with her hair like that . I’m 52 and I am the same way I love to have fun as well and they look great in her . ..

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Aww thank you so much 💖 I love that for you too!!

[@LifeAsTeeInThisWeirdWorld]

You've been the hair tinsel master for so long!! Anytime You've done it for me it lasts so long!

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Thank you! It’s all in the knots 🪢

[@ashlynnmorrison2065]

This is the only tutorial that has actually worked for me!! Thank you so much 💖

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Love to hear it!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤗

[@lili-oj8rx]

This is hands down the best tutorial i have seen for tinsel! All the other tie in methods ive done on my clients are a total hit and miss. The method im currently using is useless on fine hair so im excited to try this!

[@ElizabethSparkles]

I’m so glad to hear this!! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this kind comment 🥰 as long as you feel that “lock” before the final knot it should be super secure!

[@retrosejewelry3339]

What a cool Mom! Very well described, brief and clear. Can't wait to try!

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Hehe she’s the coolest! Thanks for watching and commenting 🥰

[@leahsheeea]

three knots seems like it'll do the job! i just got fairy hair for the first time last weekend and ive already lost probably 75% of what was put in. the pieces falling out are *knotless* - i would think i'd see the knot still, where the tinsel slid down and off of the hair, but the lady basically only did that first knot you showed and left it at that, so theyre just coming totally undone! i got (a ridiculous amount of) hair tinsel from amazon. i have a barbie and a classic style my little pony who are about to be my beautification test subjects. i have faith in this three knots method thank youuu

[@ElizabethSparkles]

This method is the best!! I hope it works for you! Make sure you get the “lock” I mentioned before tying the final knot and it should be extremely secure 😊

[@erinmccall]

Your hair is STUNNING!!! I absolutely love it. And the tutorial was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your help! My daughter has been asking me to do this for her, but I kept putting it off because it seemed intimidating. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it!

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Definitely intimidating but not so bad with some practice! I’m so glad this helped, thanks for watching and commenting 😊

[@mementomori7266]

Just ordered some hair tinsel for the first time for an event. This was a really helpful tutorial and I can't wait to try it out. I love your hair and makeup, btw! So artistically done!

Loved it. I want to put some in my daughter's hair but I thought I would do the snap beads. This is way better for a little girl! Love it. I love this for girls. Instead of altering their natural beauty, this adds!

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Yes kids LOVE hair tinsel and it’s a great option if you want to avoid actual hair color!

[@angieg.2025]

It can definitely last over a month with the right care! Glad you love it 🥰

[@craftingwithlaurel795]

I have curly hair should I curl it with scissors like you would to curl ribbon

[@ElizabethSparkles]

You could try that but the tinsel can be quite fragile so it may snap or give you a hard time tying it! You could also try twisting it into your curls with your fingers or wrapping it around a curling iron at a very low heat 😊

[@cydneykaplanmagic]

Where do you buy the tinsel?

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Amazon! There’s a link in the description and a pinned comment 😊

[@cydneykaplanmagic]

@@ElizabethSparkles thank you! I see it now!!! 💕🙏🏼

[@ShayRadLabel]

Is this method let you remove it later or you need to cut? Thanks

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Hi! You can just remove it, I have a video tutorial showing how to do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqmanoyog69ln6c

[@maritzasperling3260]

You do it so easy

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Many years of practice! ✨

[@divm8559]

What size of bead you recommend? 5mm orv3mm?

[@ElizabethSparkles]

I have never used beads! I just tie knots to secure it into the hair.

[@elspeththedruid]

Does your hair need to be dirty or freshly washed?

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Doesn’t really matter for the knot tying, but it can slide out when washing if you’re not super careful around the knot at the roots, so if you do it freshly washed you can maybe get a bit more longevity out of them before needing to wash again!

[@dr.donnadietz4363]

Yay to your mom and you! :)

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Haha thanks! 💖

[@gracieparak3257]

How long do they usually last?

[@ElizabethSparkles]

It really depends on how you care for it, and if it’s properly tied! I do a new colour every month for my mom and she usually has most of her tinsel left by the next month, so they last at least a month for her. She brushes very carefully and doesn’t heat style her hair. If you tie it the way I demonstrate in this video, it takes quite a bit of force to pull it out of the hair.

[@gracieparak3257]

Okay thank you so much I’m trying this right now

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Hope it works well for you!!💖

[@robyntaurusbeatz703]

She clearly answered this question of yours in the video and pretty close to the beginning if u pay attention. 🙄

[@ElizabethSparkles]

@robyntaurusbeatz703 I also answered your question you commented about heat styling at the end of the video! Totally fine for people to ask, sometimes when skimming through you don’t catch every detail 😊 happy to help! Hope you both have a beautiful day 💖

[@lexey8345]

Legit how do yall get this to stay it just does not work for me

[@ElizabethSparkles]

The second knot where you pull both sides apart and get it to lock is essential to keeping it in. Otherwise it will slide right out!

[@missmollymay1989]

My tinsel still slides right off the root when I put it on! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong…😭

[@ElizabethSparkles]

The “locking” where you pull the two sides of the tinsel away from each other and kind of twist back and forth is a very important step to keep it from sliding! You’ll feel it lock into place if you’ve tied the first two knots properly (and then one final knot to secure everything). It definitely takes a bit of practice to get the knots right, especially if you’re doing it on your own head!

[@caittyk]

Still pulls out

[@ElizabethSparkles]

After the second knot you should feel it lock into place! If it’s still pulling out, it probably didn’t lock properly with the knot. Sometimes you have to shimmy each side of the tinsel strand back and forth to get it to lock in before doing the final knot 😊

[@briebrantley6866]

Mine never “locks”. It slid out as well.

[@ElizabethSparkles]

I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling!! As long as your first two knots are done properly you should have no problem locking it! Separate the two strands and pull them away from each other up and down, left and right, and make sure it’s locked before tying the final knot with the two strands together. It’s definitely finicky and takes some practice!!

[@corinagrace1735]

Not sure what the benefit of a slip knot is as opposed to making a regular knot.

[@ElizabethSparkles]

The slip knot makes it easy to keep the two sides of the tinsel even, and to wrap it around the hair without making a tangled mess. From there you tie regular knots to secure it in place and keep it from sliding out. Tinsel lasts for weeks with this tying technique. Tie your tinsel whatever way works best for you! Just sharing what works best for me.

[@corinagrace1735]

​@@ElizabethSparkles Thank you for the explanation!

[@ElizabethSparkles]

You’re welcome! Hope this works for you 😊

[@corinagrace1735]

@@ElizabethSparkles do you recommend a tinsel tool kit or something? I’ve been trying to do the slip knot method for years and it takes me FOREVER. I just noticed some people use beads.

[@ElizabethSparkles]

I’ve actually never tried it with beads, but I’ve tried hair feathers and coloured hair extensions using beads and I just don’t prefer them because they’re really bulky in the hair and I find the extension can get pulled out easily. But worth a try if you’re struggling with tying knots!

[@reyseholladay]

So i have a very interesting question. I curled my hair this morning (with my tinsel in, its pink which doesn’t matter really) I noticed earlier that my hair has been almost dyed looking pink 😳 what do i do? I haven’t found anything on it ANYWHERE I also have blonde highlighted hair so it’s pretty noticeable.

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Huh. That is super interesting. Is the tinsel still hanging there but the colour has transferred into your hair? Or did the tinsel basically melt into your hair? This is a first for me!

[@reyseholladay]

@@ElizabethSparkles The tinsel is still hanging there fine and intact, the color has just transferred on to my hair and actually on to my straightener as well. I guess I’ll update when I wash my hair tomorrow and see if it comes out 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@ElizabethSparkles]

@reyseholladay yikes! Sorry to hear that happened! I usually only use heat on it at a verrrry low temperature otherwise it will melt, and some tinsel may not be able to take any heat at all 😬 hopefully it comes out when you wash it!

[@networkmarketerszone]

Love it

[@networkmarketerszone]

So good for my girls

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Thank you!

[@ElizabethSparkles]

That’s awesome! I hope it goes well 😊

[@Zombiechi-cz2ek]

Now what bout curly poofy hair

[@ElizabethSparkles]

You can tie it in the same way, but it can be a struggle because the tinsel is soooo straight it’s hard to get it to blend in nicely with your natural hair. You can give the tinsel a bit of a curl really carefully with a curling iron on low heat and twist it around your natural curls, but depending on your curl pattern you may not love the way it looks! This knotting method should be secure either way, but the finished look will vary. 😊

[@jessicas4295]

I'm having a hard time "feeling" the lock.... 😔

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Sometimes for whatever reason it just doesn’t happen for me and I have to just start over with a new strand! You’ll know it worked if you gently tug on it and it isn’t sliding. If it slides, the lock didn’t work!

[@jessicas4295]

@@ElizabethSparkles ill keep trying. My kid loves fairy hair but I can't afford to be paying $30+ for ten strands on her head 😔

[@ElizabethSparkles]

@jessicas4295 alternatively you can tie the tinsel to a tiny hair elastic and stick the elastic in her hair and braid it in! I have another video showing hair tinsel festival braids where I use that technique. 😊

[@jessicas4295]

@@ElizabethSparkles I will look into it. ❤️

[@ElizabethSparkles]

@jessicas4295 you can also purchase ones that come on clips you can just clip into the hair, remove and reuse! Something like these: amzn.to/3WzDosG

[@robyntaurusbeatz703]

So Im curious, if I had these tinsels in my hair and wanted to wear my hair curled.. what is the best method to curl the tinsel as well to match ?

[@ElizabethSparkles]

Hi! I just curl my hair normally and include the tinsel right in with my hair, I just make sure I do it in small sections at a low temperature. Definitely test your tinsel first to see how it reacts to the heat because some may not take the heat as well as others! Then I just use my fingers to wrap around and shape it into the curl if anything looks weird 😊
