Feather Extension Kit


HAIR GOSSIP

Here is a step by step guide on how to apply feather hair extensions if you purchased an extension kit off of Etsy.

Step 1: Take a small secition of hair- I suggest either under a layer and away from the part of your hair or right above the ear.

Step 2: If your kit didn't come with a fancy tool, you can just take a piece of fishing line and loop it. Then place the hair extension bead through both ends (again, if your kit didn't come with beads you can buy them at Sally's). 

Step 3: Pull the section of hair that you selected through the loop.

Step 4: Move the bead up the fishing line and onto the piece of hair.

Step 5: Pull the hair through the bead completely and make sure it stays about a 1/2 from the scalp.

Step 6: Take a cluster of feathers (3 to 5) and make sure every feather makes it into the bead.

Step 7: Once the feathers are in you can trim any of the excess that is sticking out of the top of the bead.

Step 8: Take pliers and squeeze the bead until it is completely closed.

VOILA! You have beautiful feathers in your hair!!!

These extensions should last 3 to 8 weeks depending on how well you take care of them. To remove the feathers you can pinch the bead with pliers in the other direction to open it and they'll just slide right out.
