I don't get it. What is all the hype regarding them?

    I don't get it either. Nothing screams "take me seriously" like peacock feathers in your part. I thought it was just my fuddy duddiness though - I also don't understand dying your hair unnatural colors, body piercing or tattoos. Apparently I am not down with self expression.

    Really? I don't get tattoos or piercings, but if I could be 18 again... I'd totally do this to my hair:

    I know, right? But it's only cute if you're young enough that you don't have to worry about being taken seriously. & when you get sick of it.. Cut it off!

    I told you, I'm a fuddy duddy. Always have been. At 18 I was wearing chino crops and sweaters tied over my shoulders with pearl earrings. Dyed tips would not have gone with my 50yo lady of leisure at the country club look.

    LOL. You sound like Jen Lancaster.

    At 18, I had my hair highlighted a la Kelly Clarkson:

    I knew I liked you for a reason. I wouldn't have liked this at 16, 18 or even 20.

    I think they're cute and I'd get them now if I didn't work in a professional environment. Actually, I could get them now we don't have any policies against hair color or tattoos as long as it's not "distracting". I know people with pink hair that work in other departments. I just feel that I should look slightly more professinal than that.

    I was actually going to get some for summer, but when I wanted them no one in Pensacola carried them. I guess I could still do it now, but I'm over it. I don't work in a professional environment at all and I don't really care if I'm taken seriously at this in between stage of my life. I think it's fun to do different things to your hair and body.

    You're a nanny, right?

    Yes, with a very laid back wear your pj's to work kind of family. I'm sure if the family was more strict I would reconsider it.

    I don't care for them.  Nor do I care for the hair braids or wraps they try to entice you with in the Caribbean.  Commere pretty lady, I do your hair, I give you braids, pretty girl.

    Yeah, it's cute if "you" are young and hip and/or in some kind of job/college/industry where you can sport that, you being not me, ever. I was too busy trying to get my hair to not fuzz out and look like a brunette bozo to spend even more time and money on it making it more trouble to care for.

    I agree that it's cute if you're young and don't really need to worry about the impression you put forth. I can even see it if you're older but work in certain industries. It's kind of pretty but I wouldn't do it myself. I'm not beyond putting a feather clip or some kind of accessory in my hair temporarily but extensions are a bit much for me.

    Originally, I thought they were cute if done in a subtle way, such as peeking out from behind your ears in a similar color to your hair. It kind of looks like a tiny braid, which I sometimes do in my hair.

    I change my answer to 'I don't get it either" when I couldn't find anything like that via a google image search. But, y'know, if you have a stylish dog in your life....
