Feather everything is everywhere right now! The hair extensions are especially popular. From the heads of ER nurses to middle-aged mothers and their children, the dyed rooster feather hair extensions are a rock-star way to add some color and funk to the ol’ noggin without the commitment of a crazy cut or color job.
The fun, fem goodness lasts two to three months! The feathers are washable and super resilient when it comes to the blow dryer, curling iron, or whatever other masochistic tools your morning ritual may include. The key is to get the hair extension beads as snug to the scalp as possible without pulling the hair too tight. And voila! They’re a little ‘80’s, a little hippie, and the perfect addition to the many fashionable chicken heads struttin’ around town. If your head is covered in regular ol’ human ectodermal appendages and not those of birds, consider yourself unhip. Check out these websites for the goods:
