rehairing with tinsel

[kezrob23]

I'm about to rehair a frizzy g3 butterscotch and a faded g3 minty, and was wondering the best way to tinsel. Should I put it in with the plug of hair, or do all the hair first then all the tinsel? (if that makes sense)

When I rehired with tinsel I added a strand with each of the hair plugs. Adding hair and then tinsel after would just be too time consuming for me.

Yeah I reckoned that too, but every tinsel hair I look at seems to have it's tinsel on the outer. I'm not particularly bothered, but my 5 yo is shall we say a little fussy!!

I rehair first then randomly place the tinsel

Where do you even GET tinsel from?

[kezrob23]

The tinsel I'm currently using is from my little customs, but I also got some from eBay (hair pieces ) and from fishing shops!! Yeah I'm rehairing first then tinseling after. The needle just won't pick up the hair and tinsel together. Thanks guys!!

I use sulky thread, they have a tinsel like collection. I find it at Joanns Fabric.

I am going to pop this over to Customs where you will probably get even more awesome tips from those talented guys and gals.

Some hair places like Retrodolls US sells the tinsel separately too. I also rehair then add tinsel into the already haired plugs!
