Meh. Like any other kind of accessory, they can be done well or poorly. I kind of like having 1 or 2 in a more subtle way to draw the eye, but more than 3-4 look just silly.

I love the look! I think it’s fun for summer. I have three girls, 10, 11, 13 and they all have them. I had one too, before I chopped all my hair off.

*their

I personally like them and I let my 9 year old wear them and make them and create. It’s just an accessory. As long as you don’t over do it.

I think they are cute but I heard that animals are being severely abused to “grow” the feathers. Big turn off for me.

I have five thin, neutral-colored feathers clustered under the length of my hair, and I like them very much. Even if I only have time for jeans, a nursing tank, and some flops, my feathers are always there to give me a little style boost. :)

I would love to have feather extensions but do not know how much it is to have and have no clue where a good place is to get it done here in Oklahoma!

Oh and did anyone inform any of you that it is animal abuse these bird are alive when they PLUCK these feathers out of them ,, I think this FAD IS SICK and nasty ..it isnt like a little tug most people dont like it when you pull their hair well it is 100 times worst then you pull a feather out of a Bird oh and then they kill them ,,You all should be ashamed of yourselfs
Oh P.S I work with birds and have had to do DNA tests on them which mean pulling out a feather and they scream when it is done and I hated doing it cause i know it hurts

It’s not a new trend. I did this in the late 80′s and early 90′s. It’s a trend they come and they go.

I’ve always loved changing up my hair so I love it. It’s fun for the summer and its only an extension so you can take it out whenever you want. I’ve been rocking my feathers for 2 months now. I’ve tried all sorts of colors. Next hair trend i’ll be trying is ombre. So sadly i’ll be removing my feathers.

I have a few and love them. I echo Danielle in the sentiment that they add a little style when you are a mess. ;)

The extensions look beautiful, but birds are slaughtered for their feathers just like mammals for their fur. The feathers used are very similar to those harvested for fly fishing, mostly coming from the saddle feathers of roosters. If you like the trend, look into cruelty-free options.

I love them but agree that little goes a long way… they are a trend but give a cute style and flavor to a bad hair day… as far as the birds go, they were being used for fishing lures before that so just b/c you aren’t putting them in your hair don’t think that they weren’t still going to “hurt” the birds for them

I work at a salon and I love the feather extensions, I have multiple in my hair. I think the feathers add a fun flirty style to young woman and just a cute fun style for younger girls. I did the research and I understand that birds are being “hurt” for these feathers but as ‘doyoulikemypartyhair’ commented, long before people started wearing the feathers in their hair, fly fishers were using them as bait and peacock feathers were used as home decor, feathers will be used no matter what so why not add a little style to an otherwise boring hair style. I mean if you like being boring that’s all fine and good, it’s your hair but that doesn’t mean you have harass everyone else who likes fashion and style.

I think these are so cute. Considering I’m 15 and I love trying something new. It’s a thin feather not a huge peacock feather. I really want one just to see what it is like. I really don’t know anyone who has tried this except my younger sister who is 12. She got a big feather in her hair and it looks almost fake. I rather have the thin ones with the stripes then a arts and crafts looking feather. Anyways i don’t see what the big problem is with these things. They are unique and it let’s girls show there not afraid to be different. Unless they are copying others. So I’m half and half on this trend. Even though I want one :)

I really like the look and just ordered some pink ones to put in myself. I am only going to use synthetic ones though because I do not approve of the cruelty to the birds.

I have been making feather hair clips for Years!! I Love the Crimp beads attachment, very cool. I can now charge more money for what I have been doing for years because of the Trend! Remember to get Quality Feathers that are clean and strong from a reliable source.
