Feather Hair Extensions

Why Not Play Head Games?

By Kirsten|August 4th, 2011|Beauty Buzz|

The summer is nearing its end, but it’s not going out without a fight. The heat can be unbearable when trying to figure out what to wear- or what to do with your hair. Speaking from experience, I know what type of havoc humidity and heat can wreak on one’s dome piece. When all else fails, disguise that crazy fro with some cleverly placed hair accessories. It will distract folks from whatever madness is going on from the neck up.

Might I suggest slopping some heavy conditioner on your fried tresses and tying them back in a sleek bun? (I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t done this on more than one occasion).

1. Forever 21 Braided Rosette Headband, $4.80, 2. Belle Noel Honey Hexagon Hair Comb, $35, 3. Henri Bendel Debutante Studded Hair Tie, $58, 4. Urban Outfitters Studded Leather Bun Holder, $14, 5. Forever 21 Braided Peacock Feather Headwrap, $6.80, 6. Jennifer Behr Swarovski Encrusted Skinny Headband, $225

While we are all getting hyped up on hair candy, let’s not lose our heads. You know my thoughts on feather extensions (NO) and I feel the same way about these crazy forehead straps parading as headbands. Another rule of thumb- If Aubrey O’Day is doing it, you probably shouldn’t be.

Now go on and have a good hair day.

Beauty Buzz: Birds of a Feather

By Kirsten|June 30th, 2011|Beauty Buzz|

Alright… this has been going on for a while now. I tried to overlook it hoping it was just a fluke and it would go away if I didn’t acknowledge it. You know- kind of like when you’re a little kid and you think “If I can’t see you, you can’t see meeee!” Well, unfortunately, that just didn’t happen. It seems that the feather hair extension is here to stay… at least for the summer.

I’m not really sure who can be credited with starting this fowl (get it? fowl?) trend. Was it Ke$ha? Was it Steven Tyler? Does it really matter? Here’s a rule of thumb: If Steven Tyler is doing it, you probably shouldn’t be. Pirate braids are one thing, but feather extensions is where I draw the line, dammit! However, if you’re going to jump off the bridge (I mean, all your friends are) below is a snazzy little hair accoutrement:

Sultra Feather Hair Accent, $25

Or perhaps you’d rather go the homemade route (because are you really going to spend 25 bucks on a feather?). Try this awesome DIY feather extension.

So whattya think? Will you be sporting the feather extension this summer?
