I got feathered..

Ever since this new fad came out, I've had the idea in my head that my hair was too long for feathers to look good. Well my friends and I went to a street fest last weekend and there was a salon that was doing them right there on the sidewalk. It was too easy to not try it, so I broke down and did it.

The first feather I got was a shorter purple feather. It wasn't really placed in a spot where you could see it well. So I did some research on the Internet of where you can get the materials to do your own, and I did it! I got the feathers from Feather Boutique on Etsy, and watched a really good tutorial on you tube and viola!

I have feathers.....

The ones I ordered were the 11 light brown grizzly feathers, they came in a pack of 3 along with 3 silicone lined micro beads for about $20 all together with tax and shipping. They were delivered to me in a matter of days. I love them! You can do different colored ones for more of a pop, I chose a more natural color for my hair this time. Here is the YouTube tutorial that I used:

When choosing your feathers, make sure that you get real feathers and not synthetic ones. The synthetic ones you can't do much with. With real feathers you can curl them, straighten them and blow dry them! You'll notice the more you wash your hair the more the extension will fall naturally into your hair flow. The extension will last anywhere from 1-6 months and you'll most likely need to replace the bead every 4-6 weeks depending on how fast your hair grows.

I say if you want to do it, do it! Everyone can rock them! Good luck!
