Feather extensions have burst onto the scene. While being stylish and easy to maintain, these fashionable accessories are non-damaging and come in many colors. Several can be worn in the hair or just one depending on the hair density and desired look.
Jennifer Love-Hewitt is rocking multiple colored feathers in her hair. While patterned extensions demand a double take, she maintains a soft feminine appearance. Since the feathers can be styled with hot tools, the hair can be worn straight or curly to show texture and volume. Jennifer maintains her sultry persona while looking trendy and fun.
These new hair additions can be worn several ways. Miley Cyrus has recently been spotted with multiple large extensions that complement the pop stars’ rock and roll vibe. Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger is keeping it sexy with a solo feather for a touch of flare in her dark locks.
These clamp in hair accessories are ideal for those of us who like to change up our look or long for a splash of color. Adding a feather extension provides the illusion of color change without chemically damaging the hair shaft. They are also washable, styleable, and very comfortable.
There is no rule as to how long a feather can be worn. The extension may begin to fray or fade after several weeks of shampooing and styling. Average wear in usually 4-8 weeks. Placement is crucial when fastening these accessories. Choose an area in which the feather can be seen, but is also out-of-the-way for everyday function and wear if pulled into a ponytail that is too tight, some discomfort may occur. Avoid removing the extension and replacing it too frequently because this can cause the metal clamp to weaken or break. It’s best to have a stylist fasten the feather in for you.
These accessories can sometimes create difficultly during a haircut. I suggest having the extension removed before the shampoo and replaced after the cut and style. This will ensure symmetry of the haircut and keep your feathery investment from being cut or textured.
The feathered look is a great accent for ladies of all ages. Not only are they a major convince but also a fabulous way to bring a celebrity style into your everyday look.
