If you are from the Pacific Northwest,
chances are over the last few months you have seen someone sporting feather extensions.
Long rooster feathers are crimped onto strands of hair using crimping beads,
and once in can be washed and styled like the rest of your hair-
you can even use low heat hot tools on them!
Many salons offer this service, but for up to 20$ a "bead"
Here is how to put them in your own hair at a fraction of the price!
Materials:
*Feathers
Feather Goddess offers the best prices,
and a great high quality selection of colors and styles
I chose white for my hair
*Beads-
available at any craft store,
try and get the smallest ones possible, they will be more inconspicuous
*Crimper- also available from craft stores
*Floss- to thread your hair into the bead
1) Choose your location
2) Fold floss over a few strands of hair, thread your bead onto the floss
3) Using the floss, pull your hair through the bead
4) Thread your feather(s) in- I put two in every bead.
Leave a little extra up at the top so that the feather doesn't break when you crimp it
5) Using your crimping tool, squeeze the bead shut TIGHTLY.
5) Cut off the extra at the top
6) VOILA!!!
Stay lovely!
