Hair Tinsel Or Hair Shimmers

The new hair bling called hair shimmers is sweeping the country. But what is the difference between the tinsel and shimmers. Hair tinsel started in Thailand, in the market place vendors would sell the thin strands of silk. The silk was colored with dye and came in a assortment of colors. It was a very inexpensive way to add color to your hair. The vendors would tie the strands of silk to your hair, they would place 5 to 10 strands to your hair. The tinsel is a flat color no sparkle great for really making the color stand out.

Now the past couple of years hair shimmers has become popular, coming in about 20 sparkle colors you can easily find a color to fit you. The shimmer has been known to withstand heat up to 350 degrees. This is important to ladies that are using a flat iron or curling iron. The new shimmers we call 3D glimmers are made out of a thin poly strand, as thin as hair. The new poly strands have a holographic look to them, that give of a dramatic sparkle and color when applied to your hair. They can also withstand washing, drying, combing, curling irons and flat irons.

The knot to attach the shimmer to your hair is a simple slip knot. It is possible to tie them into your own hair (this takes alot of practice).
