subject: Feather Hair Extensions - Upgrade Your Look With This Hot Trend [print this page] Previously made stylish by the American Indians, wearing feathers in long hair is making a huge comeback across mainstream society. Women of all ages across the country are rushing to their salon to have feathers weaved into hair extensions. The result is an exotic appearance with a subtle splash of color and texture. Feathers are available for weaving in all different shapes of sizes and colors. Some women are even opting to have multiple feathers weaved into their hair for an even more dramatic result.
Most of the feathers used in hair extensions are rooster feathers. The Whiting Saddle Grizzly Rooster has a particularly distinctive pale feather with black banding that is enormously popular. However, other sizes and colors of feathers are also popping up across the nation. As with any big fashion craze, the one thing that it usually takes to reach mainstream audiences is the participation of a celebrity or two. Ke$ha and Steven Tyler were two famous musicians that started wearing feathers in their hair a long time ago. The trend continues to rise in popularity as salons across the country and around the world report an increased demand.
Feather hair extensions can be styled just like other parts of your hair. They can be washed, dried, curled, and ironed without damaging the feather or its sheath. The feather is attached to a few strands of hair with a bead that is place on top of the sheath and clamped in place. The simple nature of the installation makes them relatively easy to do and many salons can perform the simple task. It only takes about ten minutes to put the feather in place and it can last for up to 6 months. However, the short period of time to do the task does not mean it is cheap. As popularity increases, feather extensions simply become more expensive.
If you are wondering if this latest hair styling craze is right for you, it may be encouraging to hear that men and women from all professions and of all ages are flocking to salons to get this updated look for their 'do. There is a huge variety in styles and colors and lengths that can complement any existing hairstyle or update an old look. You can choose small feathers for a subtle result or larger and more colorful feathers for daring drama. Either way, there is a color, length and size to suit your style.
