Hair Feathers
A couple weeks ago I casually remarked in this post that I think I'd like to put feathers in my hair and just days later Plume Your Hair emailed me asking me if I'd like to try a few out (without asking for anything, like a blog review, in return). I was thrilled - and of course I wanted to share the look and experience with you all.
First, I picked out three feathers. I went with a mix of Grizzly Dark Bar Ginger, Grizzly Natural and long Golden Straw. I wanted the feathers to be neutral and kind of blend in with my hair. 
The feathers came with a great instruction sheet but I modified the process a little to make it easier for me. Basically, what you want to do is get your hair through the teeny tiny bead, slide the feather through the bead with the hair and then crimp the bead flat with pliers. I threaded a loop of little dental floss through the bead - then my hair through the floss and pulled everything through that way. Then Jeremy assisted me by putting the feather in through the bead and crimping everything down with pliers. 
I placed these feathers in the hair right above my ear. I did the black and white one a little higher and together crimped the brown and yellow feathers a little lower. I'm really excited about the results. I'm considering ordering one or two more black and white feathers to place a little higher on my head - just under my natural part. I think these are subtle enough I can get away with it without looking like a bird or fishing tackle.
Thanks again, Plume Your Hair!
P.S. I originally found these feathers via Merl - they look fantastic in her hair!
Wow - that looks incredible! Gotta love their straightforward design/directions. I love that it doesn't sound like it would do any damage to your hair upon removal.
Pretty. Young. I like.

LOVE. (also digging your eyeliner!)
Love the colors you picked, they look amazing! Thanks so much for trying them out and for the floss tip:)
Piper - No, thank you!
oh they look great!
i tried this with a few of my own feathers at burning man but i used a way more whack method of application and my hair got so disgusting that week, i didn't really get to enjoy them.
so maybe i'll order from plume for a little birthday treat.
I need to have these now. Do you leave them in and wash them with your hair?
Becka - I see on Twitter that you've already ordered them so you may already know that yes - you can totally leave them in and wash/dry with your hair.
I can't wait to see what colors you pick and how they turn out for you!
i die.
seriously.
I want these for Gabby SO bad. I know she could totally rock them!!
those are so badass. seriously, lady!
LOVE this. so different and fresh.
After seeing this, I immediately went to their website. I was expecting them to be pricey, and was completely prepared to oogle them with envy... but after seeing how incredibly affordable they were, I ordered six feathers!
Thanks for sharing- I can't wait to try them out! :)

Kathleen, I really like this post. A lot.
Love x 100. Ordering piles of feathers.
I paid to have mine put in. It wasn't that bad. They seem to last until my next haircut. I loved them so much that the next time I went in I had her put a couple more in. Fun with out a bunch of $$$. Love my girl at The Lash Boutique.
