The feather hair extensions come in various colours much like hair extensions as we know it. Colour range from violet, to brown to neon pink and green. Whatever colour outfit you are wearing on a particular day can easily be matched with these feathers.
Feather Locks, touted as the orginal feather hair extension (can't believe someone wants to debate that) has been known to sell out on a daily basis. Their feathers , its website says, " come from the highest quality source and incorporate texture and color to add highlights to your hair."
The company's Facebook page is liked by 25,381 as of today Mint, Ocean, Lemonade, Lava, Dune and Lipstick are just some of the "shades" they offer to buyers.
Collections include Tie Dye, Holiday and Premium feathers.
Much like hair extensions feather pieces can be added to the hair using the strand by strand technique (a small section of the hair is threaded into a clamp close to the scalp and then closed) or by clip-ins (Please read my post on clip-ins).
The pieces are sold in lengths ranging from 8 to 16 and come in packs of 1 to 100 pieces.
The variety is wide ranging . Some stores sell shiny feathers, others glittery and I swear I saw a 3 D version
The price of the feathers vary but the figures have increased given its popularity.Rooster breeders are said to be overwhelmed with the demand for feathers , hence the price hike.
Personally, if I am going to put any feather in my hair as an accessory two is enough and five is pushing it. 100 feathers? Well put me on a stoop and wait for me to crow!!
Please try not to laugh to much when I tell you that the feathers can also be washed, blow dried and heat-styled just like human hair pieces.
Some feathers can be braided into the hair but it is recommended that the braid be done every three to four weeks.
It would take me a lot of convincing to get wear these feather extensions in my hair without feeling ridiculous about it. Maybe on a dare.....okay maybe not.
