FINALLY, in the face of outrageously expensive products that slick my frizz or add volume to a limp dishrag of a hairdo there is an ornament that looks great, doesn't cost an arm and a leg and that is (relatively with practice) easy to do yourself!



Here's the skinny about how to apply and where to get feather hair extensions.

Q What color or type should I buy?

A The most popular type right now are the natural brown and beige feathers but I see lots of feathers in bright colors like neon purple, pink and green with sparkles worn on weekends in the clubs but those may be clips. My answer is that there is no permanent answer; fashion and styles change in the blink of an eye.

Q What kind of supplies do I need to attach the extensions to my hair and where is the best place to buy feathers for hair?

A You will need to buy feathers and a micro link hair crimp, threader and pliers. The best place to buy feathers and equipment would be online or at your favorite discount beauty supply store since either place would most likely be cheaper than if you bought at a salon.

Q How do I attach the feathers?

A First, decide where the extensions would look best. Should they frame your face or would you prefer them to add to the volume in the back?

After you make your decision:

1. Make a part in the locations where you want the extension.

2. Flip the layer of hair that will lie on top of your feathers over your head to get it out of the way while you work and clip it in place.

3. Pinch a small amount of hair together (15-20 strands of hair) and wet it only till damp not dripping.

4. After the strands are dampened, loosely twist them together. N

5. Now, slide the micro link onto the end of the twisted strand and slip it all the way to your scalp.

6. After the micro link is secured, slip the ends of the feather extensions (approximately 5 unless you bought the kind that are already bonded in a bunch) into the micro link making certain that short length of each of the feathers is sticking out of the top of the micro link.

7. Once you have the feathers inserted into the micro link, take your pliers and clamp down on the link securing the feathers in place. VOILA! Rinse and repeat...no really, just repeat as many times as you need to get the look that you want.

Q How do I maintain and style my hair if I have feather extensions?

A Of course, you can shampoo and condition as usual; I wouldn't scrub like crazy in the area where you have the extensions but you don't have to let your hair and scalp get nasty. As far as styling is concerned, straighten or curl them however you like just use low heat so as not to scorch them. Burned feathers stink and don't look pretty.

Q How long will the feather hair extensions last?

A Depending on how well they were attached (did you follow the instructions?) and your hair style they can last anywhere from 1 to 6 months. They last longer if you have long hair and have to be replaced more often if you have short hair.

The great thing is that they are very cheap and easy to remove and re-attach!

I hope that I have answered your question on where to get feather hair extensions and how to do it yourself in a way that will complete your look and make your hairstyle everything that you wanted it to be.
