Tinsel hair, or tinsel hair in English, is the latest rage in fashion and the new favorite look of all fashion girls. The hairstyle trend has now received more than 90 million views on TikTok. Although the sparkly hairstyle is having a big moment right now, it's actually not a new invention.

What defines the hairstyle?
When it comes to tinsel hair, the name says it all. Tiny tinsel threads are incorporated into our natural hair to create a subtle and fairytale sparkle. The end result is a really glamorous and shimmering look that immediately catches the eye.
Tinsel hair looks like our mane has been dipped in fairy dust. So it's perfect for everyone who doesn't like complicated costumes for carnival. When it comes to colors, the sky is the limit. Whether gold, silver, white, black, pastel colors or bright neon colors - there are no limits to your imagination. Pretty much whatever you like is allowed.
The colored threads shine in every imaginable shade and literally make our mane shine. But tinsel hair is not only perfect for carnival. The glittery trend hairstyle is an excellent and fun way to add a lively and refreshing touch to our look without having to make too drastic changes.
Tinsel Hair: This is how easy it is to get the look
Beautifully sparkling and really glamorous – tinsel hair undoubtedly always creates a wow effect and is a real eye-catcher. And the best part? To get the glittery look, you don't necessarily have to visit the hairdresser. The tinsel stripes are actually super easy and quick to work into your hair - ideal for a last minute costume! The colored threads can be found online as well as in costume shops and drugstores for a few euros.
And it's that easy:
- First style your hair as desired. Everything is possible - whether straight, curly or pinned up is purely a matter of taste.
- Then take a tinsel thread and wrap it twice around a thin strand of hair close to the hairline several times.
- Carefully pull the resulting loop down and voilà – your hair will glitter in a fairytale way!
- Once applied, tinsel hair usually lasts between three and six weeks. The durability obviously depends on the quality of the threads, but also on your daily activities and external factors such as temperature, humidity, etc.
