Are Hair Feathers actually Hair Extensions?
Answer: No but they can be treated as though they are and last about the same length of time.
Human hair extensions last about 3 months before requiring attention. They need to be looked after but their quality means they will be able to be used many times over.
For reference synthetic hair braids and dreads last a couple of weeks before needing to be removed or reinstalled.
Can I install the hair Feathers myself?
Answer: Yes you can, professional hair extensions should be installed by a certified professional to ensure they look natural and last.
However, hair feather extensions tend to be a feature and can easily be self installed, it is fun to do it with a friend or relative.
How long do Hair Feathers take to put in?
Answer: As an example bonded hair feather extensions take 5 to 10 minutes to apply yourself. If you are comparing with hair extensions, wefts and pre bonded hair can take anywhere between 2 and 4 hours and should be installed by a professional. Braids and Dreads take quite a bit longer
How do I look after my new Hair Feathers?
Answer: They can be washed lightly in luke warm water. You can apply specially produced hair extensions shampoos, conditioners if you wish. Combing and washing of hair feather extensions should be kept to a minimum.
Is it safe to treat the Hair Feathers?
Answer: Yes it is safe to treat hair feather extensions and normal styling using tongs, straighteners, hairdryers. You can apply styling products like gel, mousse, hairspray and detanglers. Dyeing is probably a step too far, particularly considering the cost and range of coloured feathers.
Hair Feathers for Dogs
Hair feathers for dogs are neither unusual or new, because the feathers are natural and can be groomed in the same way as your pet’s coat. There are absolutely no issues with compatibility. From our point of view we recommend that it probably suits small dogs best though we have recently been proved quite wrong in this respect with dogs hair feathers being seen on some very flashy spaniels.
These hair feathers for dogs come with a whole range of colours from bright and vivid greens, reds, yellows and purples to very natural light and dark browns.
They can be further adorned by adding a streak of glittery nail varnish which are available in silver and gold as well as the wide range of normally seen range of colours.
Hair feathers for Dogs – Installation
If you want to combine a whole range of feathers together you can do this quite easily with a glue gun. Take the loose hair feathers and use the glue gun to bond the end of the hair feathers together. It makes them incredibly easy to install on your pet with the addition of a crimping bead and a pair of pliers to flatten the metal bead.
The beads are readily available and are included in our packs. They are metal and attach the dog’s hair feathers to your pet’s coat really easily. Quite simply by crushing the bead with a small pair of pliers it holds the dog’s coat and the hair feathers for dogs neatly together. No glue, no mess.
Once installed the feathers can be washed and dried in exactly the same way as you might do with your dog. You have no need to worry if your dog likes to jump in the nearest stream it can do no harm to the feathers and they will look just as good as when you put them in.
Hair feathers for dogs are a fantastic talking point. Every time we take our pooch out for a walk someone always stops us and asks us where we get them from. Whilst a lot of people like to go for bright flashing colours we find the softer browns together with the grizzly black and white stripes look fantastic, what’s more we are pretty sure that our dogs have risen in their social standing since we did a bit of doggy hair feather grooming.
