Everything you need to know about our Glitterlite strands
Are Glitterlites heat-resistant?
Yes! Up to 400*F
Do Glitterlites hold texture and curl?
Yes! ✨ Our strands are unique because they can hold texture and curl, giving a more natural, organic look—unlike traditional, stick-straight hair tinsel.
Are they color and chemical resistant?
Yes! ✨ Glitterlites are completely color and chemical-resistant. You can apply any hair color over them, and they’ll remain unchanged. Lightener can also be used, though we always recommend applying Glitterlites after a color service for the best results.
If a client comes in for a color touch-up with Glitterlites still in their hair, there’s no need to remove them—you can even apply a keratin treatment over them with no issues! However, they won’t hold a perm, and high-volume lightener may slightly reduce their shine
How do you apply Glitterlites?
Glitterlites are applied using our signature single-strand method—a seamless, durable, and ultra-lightweight technique that ties one Glitterlite to one strand of hair using a specialized knot and tools. Unlike beads or slip knots, this method keeps the strands secure while blending naturally into any hair type.

✨ How to get access? ✨
Enroll in our Sparkle Like a Pro certification, where you’ll master the technique and receive the Glitterlite Intro Box—including all the tools you need to start applying Glitterlites like a pro!
We know there are plenty of DIYers out there, but in our years of experience, stylists buy the tools thinking they can figure it out on their own—only for them to collect dust in a drawer when they realize they don’t have the right technique or confidence to use them.
That’s why we only offer the tools with the education—so you can actually succeed, offer an amazing service, and start making money with Glitterlites right away.
What are Glitterlites made of?
Glitterlites are made from a multi-ply mylar polyester, making them heat-resistant, color-resistant, and able to hold texture better than traditional tinsel strands. This durability sets them apart from fragile tinsel types that lose their shape quickly.
One of the biggest misconceptions in the tinsel world is that ‘100% silk tinsel’ is superior—but here’s the truth: If you’ve ever seen tinsel that’s holographic, sparkly, or metallic, it’s not actually pure silk.
True silk is a natural fiber that’s delicate, absorbs moisture, and doesn’t hold curl or texture well. Many products marketed as ‘silk tinsel’ are actually synthetic blends, using the word ‘silk’ as a marketing term. no hate. we love them all!
✨ Glitterlites give you the best of both worlds—they’re ultra-lightweight and seamless like silk, but strong, long-lasting, and able to hold curl and heat styling like professional-quality tinsel should. ✨
Are the MRI safe?
Glitterlites are made from a polyester mylar blend, which is generally non-metallic, but we always recommend checking with your MRI technician to be sure.
If you have an upcoming MRI and are unsure, it’s always safest to remove them beforehand. ✨
