blinger® Mini (On the Go) Refill Pack with 48 Colorful Hair-Safe Gems

1. Release the stretchy band from around the bottom of the blinger® hair stage (the bottom platform) and place it in the notch located on the top of the blinger® tool.  This allows the blinger® styling tool to be open and ready to use!

2. To load the rhinestones, first open the loading area by pushing down on the lip while pulling up on the top of the blinger® tool.

3. Place one blinger® rhinestone disc, with rhinestones facing up, onto the pegs on the carousel.  When properly aligned your rhinestones will be in the center of each hole on the carousel.

4. Press the clear cover down to close, snapping it shut. Make sure you press down on the clear cover only and not the top of the hair stage.  If you push down and close using the top of the hair stage, you risk ejecting a rhinestone.

Option 1 – For hair that is down: Place a thick lock of hair into the opening between the bottom of the blinger® carousel and the top of the hair stage (the bottom platform).  Make sure that you are using a thick enough piece of hair for the rhinestones to have enough hair on which to adhere.  Squeeze the device firmly until it clicks to release the gem.

Option 2 – For hair that is in a bun, updo or styled close to the head:  Retract the blinger® hair stage by gently pulling it towards the back of the tool.  It will slide back and open 180 degrees, allowing you to apply rhinestones directly to hair styles where you need the hair stage to be out of the way.  Press the device firmly to the head until it clicks to release the gem.

You can apply as many blinger® rhinestones as you desire! Rhinestones should be spaced on average the width of the hair stage, otherwise the next rhinestone may not adhere properly.

To remove the blinger® rhinestones from your hair simply brush out or peel off with your fingers.

The rhinestones can not be applied a 2nd time through the device, however they can be manually re-applied to hair or repurposed as a decorative element on other items. Reduce, Re-use, Re-cycle. Get creative!

If a rhinestone inadvertently sticks to the hair stage or carousel be sure to remove it before you continue.  Failure to do so could cause the following rhinestones to not apply properly.

Simply remove the rhinestone before you continue.

After extended use the adhesive from the rhinestones may build up on your blinger® tool and cause it to not work properly. When this happens, simply clean it with cotton and rubbing alcohol.

If a rhinestone is dangling or not adhering properly, simply press it firmly onto the hair!  blinger® rhinestones’ proprietary adhesive is pressure sensitive and will respond nicely to any pressure.

All rhinestones are re-positionable. If you misapply or want to move a rhinestone, simply hold it on the sides with your fingers, and gently slide it down hair or pull it off the hair and reposition it where desired.  It’s that easy!

No, do not apply rhinestones to wet hair as they will not stick properly. However, once rhinestones are applied (to dry hair), swimming and other similar activities are possible and should not affect the rhinestones staying in.

Some hair styling products are okay for use before applying rhinestones, and some are not.  Hair spray is okay, and anything dry in the hair. However, do not use oil-based or silicone-based products, or the rhinestones will not adhere.
