Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Tinsel/Sparkle Extensions.

Tinsel strands typically last 4-8 weeks depending on placement, hair care, and activities. They don’t grow out like bonded extensions but may need replacement or refresh during regular appointments to maintain brightness and placement.

When applied and removed by our trained stylists, tinsel extensions are non-damaging. They are lightweight and sit on top of hair without adhesives; following aftercare guidance reduces tangling or stress, keeping your natural hair healthy.

Yes — tinsel is heat-compatible and works well with curling irons or straighteners at moderate temperatures. Avoid excessive high heat and always use a heat protectant. Our stylists will advise on safe styling temperatures to preserve both tinsel shine and hair integrity.

Our stylists place individual shimmering strands strategically through sections of hair, securing them discreetly for a natural look. The process is quick and customizable; we match tinsel color and density to your style, and can add them as a separate or combined service.

Gently brush with a soft brush, avoid harsh shampoos and heavy conditioners on the tinsel strands, and pat dry instead of rubbing. Sleep in loose styles to prevent tangling. Follow our aftercare sheet and book touch-ups to keep sparkle fresh.

Absolutely. Tinsel provides instant event-ready shimmer, perfect for bridal parties, proms, festivals, or photoshoots. We offer placement and density options to achieve subtle or dramatic effects, and can schedule application close to your event for maximum sparkle.
