Well, wonder no longer. Kimberly Kimble, the stylist who created the look, says that she worked Bella Via Hair Glitz (prices vary) into Beyonce's hair. I thought the metallic ribbon strands were actually Bling String, but it appears the tinsel in question was something a little more high end. And why the sparkle highlights? Kimberly says she added them as an accent to match Beyonce's Minx manicure. So there you have it.
The Bumpit may be passe these days, but there's a new TV hair sensation just screaming for attention. It's Bling String, little spools of metallic thread in Lady Gaga-worthy shades of lilac and Kermit green. One of my Sugar friends just said it looks like tinsel to her, and I'm inclined to agree. But then again, I do want hair that *pings* whenever I move, and who can say no to blingin' in the fun? Plus, it comes with a whole book of mysterious Bling String "techniques" that I have yet to master, so maybe I'll check it out for myself. Stay tuned . . .
