Feather Hair Extensions Gone Bad | Give a Rooster a Break

Supply and demand.

Unfortunately, the trendsetting feathers that were first to hit the markets were legitimately feathers that came from the tail of a rooster. Originally used for fly-fishing, they could be found at local fishing/outdoor stores. It’s obvious that farmers who sell the feathers at fishing stores didn’t expect the beauty industry to tap their markets. Therefore, we see what’s happening now: a shortage of the actual rooster feathers.

Now it seems like people who want to make a ‘quick buck are mustering up all the feathers they can find. In fact, feather look-a-likes are even on the market! In the end, you see feathers sticking out of people’s hair like antennas, sometimes by the dozens.

Then there’s t hat girl with something that looks like a feather, or is it dirty hair??? Who knows.

As is often done with trends, over doing a certain thing is never a good thing. Take, for instance, Christina Aguilera and the platinum hair and red lipstick. Girl… let it go! And the everlasting leapord print mess. Don’t let feathers get to that point ladies…

They came, and they are going. Let's give the rooster's a break!
