In brief: Tinsel is a decorative hair strand. Its durability depends mainly on how it is attached, the area of application, and daily care.
Hair tinsel consists of thin, shiny strands that can be woven into braids, dreadlocks, or hairstyles. The KJHS pack contains strands approximately 120 cm long, which can be shortened depending on the project.
How to apply it in braids
- Separate the number of strands you want to use.
- Fold them or position them at the desired length.
- Incorporate them into the braid without overtightening the base.
- Only trim the excess after checking the final result.
On synthetic dreadlocks
You can wrap or integrate the tinsel into the dreadlock decoration, securing it firmly but without creating rigid bulk near the scalp.
How long does it last?
There is no single duration. It depends on the fastening method, washing, friction, strand position, and maintenance.
How to maintain it
- Avoid pulling the strand.
- Reduce friction during sleep.
- Check the attachment point.
- Remove it if it causes tension or discomfort.
