They're popping up everywhere, and I don't think feather extensions are just for teens or Steven Tyler. ;) I noticed quite a few ladies with feathers in their 'do at the Walk yesterday, and I must say... I think they're so pretty!! Of course, in moderation. The ladies I saw yesterday had natural hair colors, with a few of the grizzly feathers poking through their layers, or showing on the sides of an up-style. I love the unexpected texture in the hair! It adds whimsy, and I can't wait to try them for myself.
Feather extensions can be treated as your own hair, and shampooed, curled, flat ironed (up to 450*), and last up to 3 months in the hair if well taken care of. I don't think I like the fashion colored ones as much, but the natural ones are fantastic, and I hope some grads or brides try them at the salon this summer!
we've had a few requests for feathers where I work already, but the stylists dont do them (yet). I think i'm the only employee that is chomping at the bit to volunteer my head for practice :)
ReplyDeleteIf I get to be a bride soon, that may just be something I'll have to try :D
ReplyDeleteVery interesting hair pieces. They look like little feathers. I like it.

ReplyDeleteI've been seeing this trend pop up as well! Not sure yet how to feel about it. Has potential to be pretty for sure though :)

Holly how can I get these done!? Can you do them?? I want them done ASAP!
ReplyDeleteStephanie: we're going to be offering them at the salon next month. :)
ReplyDeleteLauren: I can do them for you!! We're getting a bunch of colours.
I just bought some of the clip-on kind a couple weeks ago! :] I got them on Etsy, they're feathers and leather strips and beads. Really really pretty. I'm wanting to get feather earrings too...I'm just worried that they'll get caught on something and yanked out of my ear. eep!
ReplyDeleteI've been doing feathers on a ton of my clients. They are so fun. Everybody is going crazy over them. My little violet who is 5 has some, too.xx
ReplyDeleteI have them in my hair and I love them. I'm giving away some on my blog today too if you're interested. :)
