Aloha Sprinklerinos,
Not too long ago, I was talking to my hair dresser and saying that I fancied a change. Now don't get my wrong, I'm still in love with the ombre effect that Zoe put in for me last October. It's lasted really well, requires little effort to maintain and looks great straight or curly...even if I do say so myself haha.
Still, I fancied a little change, a little pep in my step.
Whilst telling my hair dresser all this, she suggested hair feathers.
The three natural looking feathers were applied like hair extensions with a little tool and attachy-wrappy-thingy (official term there). I have had a little look round the interweb and you can buy them yourself with the tools to attach them, but I know that personally, I don't have the skills and finesse for this and would be a lot better off going to the salon!
The feathers last beautifully for about a week but after that they began looking really tatty and bedraggled. Not a good look.
I was able to wash and style my hair with them in but brushing the area around them required a little more precision because brushes would struggle to glide past the attachy-wrappy-thingy.
I think these are great fun for special occasions or when you just fancy something different. I really enjoyed these and was blushing all week with the amount of compliments I received- it was lovely!!
What do you think to hair feathers? Yay or nay?
Toodlepip!

I personally have never been that keen on them but you've changed my mind- you wear them so well! They're so pretty :) xx
ReplyDeleteThey look super pretty! Haha, I've known about hair feathers for a while since, for some reason, it's a popular search term that leads people to my blog. Must be the word "feather". Looks gorgeous on you, anyhow!

So pretty!! Blends in with your own hair so well xx
ReplyDeleteHey :) nice post, i think this is a really good way to spice up your hair, if you find your hair boring but i love the feather look you have :)
ReplyDeleteSee when brushing your hair tho, do you need to pick up the feathers so you don't catch your brush on them ?
Also, your lipstick is looking very professional in this picture :) a perfect red lip :)
love your blog :)

They look really pretty. I would be interested but would like to know roughly how much they cost.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! They look lovely on you:-) xo
ReplyDeleteThey look very pretty on you! I had one about a year ago and I loved it. It was such fun to have! Mine lasted quite a while longer than a week though. I guess they had been attached differently?

ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely gorgeous, I would have never even known this was a thing you could get done! And they look so natural, I first thought that maybe you had just played around with your own hair to make it look like a feather. I definitely like them, huge yay! xx
ReplyDeleteOoh Louise, the hair feathers really suit you! I've been tempted to try hair feathers for a while now but I'm terrible with all things 'hair' hahah! xx
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous the things they usually put these types of extensions in are called micro beads :) they slip in and out quiet easily :)
ReplyDeleteJazz x
They look beautiful on you louise! I am stuck in a hair rut and I'm not really sure what to do. Sadly, hair feathers aren't an option as I would never be allowed them in school! But a girl can dream!
ReplyDeletexxx
i have been wanting to try these for ever! :D

They look fab and really suit you but it sucks that they only last a week or so.
