Frequently Asked Questions

Hair Sparkles are also known as: fairy hair, hair tinsel, tinsel hair, sparkle strands, hair shimmer, hair bling, glitter hair, and sparkly hair extensions.

  • Hair Sparkles are tiny shimmer strands added into your natural hair for a cute, lightweight sparkle effect. They are also commonly called fairy hair, hair tinsel, tinsel hair, sparkle strands, hair shimmer, or hair bling.

  • It is a Hair Sparkles method whereone sparkle is attached to one single piece of your natural hair using a latch hook tool. The goal is a light, natural, blended sparkle that moves with your hair instead of looking bulky

  • No. The single-hair latch hook method does not use clips, glue, tape, or big beads. It is more delicate and natural-looking because the sparkle is attached close to individual hair strands.

  • When done correctly, hair sparkles should not damage your hair. The sparkle is lightweight and attached to a single hair. After they are placed, be mindful not to pull, yank, or snag the strand on something.

  • No, it should not hurt.

  • It depends on your hair type and how gentle you are with it. Some strands may last a few days, while others can last several months.

  • I always tie a few extra strands at your appointment to account for initial loss. Hair Sparkles can fall out if the natural hair they are attached to sheds, if your hair is very smooth, or if the strand gets pulled while brushing, washing, or styling. It is totally normal for some strands to leave before others.

  • Yes, just brush gently. Start at the ends and work your way up. Try not to rip through tangles near the sparkle.

  • Yes. You can shampoo and condition your hair, but be gentle around the sparkle area. Avoid scrubbing aggressively at the roots where the Hair Sparkles are attached.

  • Yes, hair sparkles are heat-safe up to 425 degrees. Avoid holding  heat directly on the sparkle for too long.

  • Yes, but chlorine, saltwater, and tangles can make them fall out faster. Rinse your hair after swimming and brush gently once your hair is detangled.

  • Yes, but fine or silky hair may not hold the sparkle as long. The single-hair latch hook method can still look beautiful, but some strands may slip out sooner than they would on thicker hair.

  • Yes. Hair Sparkles can look amazing in curls, waves, and thick hair. Placement matters so the sparkle shows naturally and moves with your hair instead of hiding underneath it.

  • Yes. Kids love Hair Sparkles, and they are perfect for birthdays, school events, festivals, markets, and special days. They just need to avoid pulling, picking, or brushing too hard near the sparkle.

  • Yes. Hair Sparkles by Natalie is licensed and insured to do business, so you can book with confidence. We keep things cute, sparkly, and legit.
