But, as with any accessory, there is a right way and a wrong way to wear feathers in your hair. Here are some tips on how to properly apply feathers to your hair:
1. Choose the right feathers
The first step in applying feathers to your hair is choosing the right feathers. You’ll want to look for feathers that are thin and lightweight, with a flexible stem that can be easily bent and shaped. You can generally find hair feathers at craft stores, boutiques or online.
There are many different types of feathers to choose from, each with its own unique look and feel. Some popular choices include rooster feathers, peacock feathers, and ostrich feathers. You can also opt for dyed feathers to add a pop of color to your hair.
2. Prepare your hair
Before you apply your feathers, you’ll want to make sure your hair is clean and dry. Use a hairbrush to detangle any knots or tangles, and apply a small amount of hairspray to the area where you plan to attach your feathers. This will help to hold your feather in place and prevent it from slipping.
3. Choose a placement
Next, you’ll want to choose a placement for your feather. Feathers can be attached to any part of your hair, but some popular choices include near the crown of your head, in a braid, or near the ends of your hair.
Once you’ve chosen a placement, use a small comb to create a section of hair about the same size as the stem of your feather. Gently twist the hair around the stem of the feather, making sure to leave some space between the feathers so they can move and sway.
4. Attach the feather
To attach the feather to your hair, you’ll need a small hair bead or crimping tool. Slide the hair bead onto the hair and feather, then gently squeeze the bead with your pliers to secure it in place.
If you’re using a crimping tool, place the hair and feather into the tool and squeeze it closed. This will crimp the hair and feather together, holding the feather in place.
5. Style your hair
Once you’ve attached your feathers, you can style your hair as usual. Feathers can be styled in a variety of ways, from braids and updos to loose waves and straight styles. You can also add more feathers to create a more dramatic look.
When styling your hair with feathers, be gentle and avoid pulling or tugging on the feathers. This can damage them and cause them to fall out.
In conclusion, adding feathers to your hair can be a fun and unique way to spice up your hair look. With the right feathers, placement, and attachment techniques, you can create a variety of stunning styles that will make you stand out from the crowd. So go ahead, embrace your inner bohemian and give feathers a try in your hair today!
