Feather hair extensions
Anyone heard of these?
DH and I were in a model home a few weeks back and the girl in the sales office had a feather near the bottom of her chin/side of her face. After we left DH said, "Was that a feather in her hair?" and I just brushed it off like, "Oh no, I'm pretty sure she had feathers on her earrings." (that's what it looked like, her hair was short/covering her ears...)
I'll be the first to admit I'm not the trendiest person alive, but last week DH said they actually had a news special about feather hair extensions and how Steven Tyler has started this 'fashion trend'. I was like, 
Any hair stylists on the board? Any Nesties on the board thinking of trying this 'fashion trend'? I think I'm just curious as to how you get a feather to stay in your hair. I don't really 'get' it.
Let's discuss.
Re: Feather hair extensions
I'd like to see a picture.... I'll have to google this....
ETA: This is not at all what I was expecting... The feathers are much thinner than what I was imagining. They are kind of cute. But it's definitely not something I could pull off...

i was debating about it when i saw them this weekend. i think it is one of those things you just have to have confidence to pull off.
Agreed
I think you can totally pull it off!

It's $25 at my salon - they stay in for up to a month. It's $10 to put them back in if they fall out.
Yeah they're semi-permanent - they stay in for about a month.
I have no idea how much they cost sorry...I saw them putting one in a girls hair though when I was there though. I think they use crimping beads to hold them in place.
