Yay or Nay? Feather Hair Extensions
Mommy and Me Day
Secretly, I thought they were cute. I first spotted them at one of the specialty kids’ hair salons. Then, I ran into a stunning mom and daughter duo at Corner Bakery (they were joined at the hip as each other’s BFF’s yet they were enviably adorable!).
With my daughter in tow, I proclaimed a “Mommy and Me Day” (her younger sister was in daycare). We commemorated the event with a trip to our local mall (of course!). After a day of shopping, getting our hair curled (at one of the mall kiosks), and eating high caloric non nutritional snacks, we each got a colorful feather put in. Hers was blue (her favorite color) and mine was purple. We both loved them (high five)!
I felt dangerous and rebellious with my purple feather. That was until someone in the office tried getting “something” out of my hair and realized (to her amusement), it was a feather hair extension. A handful of my loyal peers said it looked cute. Sweet as they were, my sixth sense told me they questioned why someone in their late 30’s would succumb to putting a feather in their hair.
A month after second guessing my new look and tiring of my comb snagging the extension, I finally had my hairdresser take it out.
On the other hand (and despite summer long swim lessons in chlorinated water), my daughter wanted to hang on to her furry accessory until the start of school.
The first day of school had come and gone, but no such luck. Then one day, she had a long drawn face. As she approached my car during school pick up, she explained her feather had fallen out. She placed it in her wheeled Justice backpack for safe keeping.
Though I empathized with her feather’s demise, I was elated I could again wash and comb her hair accessory free.
I have laid our feathers to rest in one of my bedroom dressers as a reminder of our summer fad and “Mommy and Me Day”. I’m certain there’ll be many more to come.

Those who are lucky not to mention live in US you can get free of cost iphone 5 on the website. http://www.bit.ly/Tjzr46 Tell me just what exactly you think.
I had a clip on feather extension….and the grocery store cashier asked me if it was a RAT TAIL. Ick. I never wore it again.
Definitely yay for me! I own 3 children’s hair salons in NYC and the feather trend is hotter than ever. There are clip on feathers you can buy too, so you can easily take them out and put them in when you want. I actually just blogged what I love about the hair feathers trend, check it out and feel free to comment! http://www.cozyscutsforkids.com/blog/index.php/2011/10/hair-feathers-whats-this-crazy-trend/

My daughter went to a birthday party over the summer and the girls got to have feather hair extensions, mani/pedis and make up. She really liked them and I didn’t mind since they were temporary and she looked so cute with them on. I figured if I don’t make a big deal about them now, perhaps it won’t be as big a deal later in when she’s considering highlighting her hair for real! She’s 8 now.

Personally, I haven’t liked this trend. Reminds me too much of those feather hair clips everyone wore in the 80′s.
My daughter is 7 and hasn’t asked for one, but if she did I would probably say ok. What is the harm?
