How to Remove Hair Tinsel Attached with a Crimp Bead

​

Time: Less than 5 minutes.

 

Follow these steps to remove it safely and efficiently while avoiding damage to your hair.

​

 

What You’ll Need: Needle-nose or jewelry pliers

​

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

​

Step 1: Clip back the surrounding hair to isolate the tinsel section.

​

Step 2: Hold the tinsel out from your head. Use the pliers to gently squeeze the crimp bead perpendicular to its direction. Apply slow pressure until the bead begins to open.

​

Step 3: Once loosened, gently slide the bead and tinsel down the hair shaft to remove it.

​

Step 4: Discard the used beads and tinsel

​

Tips:

If the bead gets caught on the pliers, like it did with Maybel's, gently pull the bead away from the pliers.

​

While the tinsel is in your hair, you can shampoo, curl, or straighten your hair as usual, but avoid excessive heat to prevent damaging the tinsel or your hair.
