By Shannon C , last updated January 29, 2012

Now that feather hair extensions have burst on to the scene, more and more fashionistas are wondering how to wear peacock feather hair extensions and make them look both dazzling and chic. The peacock feather represents the triumph of beauty over hardship, and as a result they have become increasingly popular as the feather hair extension of choice in salons nationwide. The loveliness of the peacock feather hair extension, however, relates not just to the exotic beauty of these gorgeous birds' plumage, but also to the ease with which feather hair extensions can be obtained, installed, and maintained. Unlike with more permanent hair modifications such as coloration, permanents and straighteners, peacock feather hair extensions can be added for one single special evening, worn over a period of weeks, or even maintained as an indefinite aspect of your personal style expression.

How to Choose Peacock Feather Hair Extensions

Many hair salons now have peacock feather hair extensions in stock as a part of the various hair extension accessories they offer to their customers. Some peacock feather hair extensions may feature natural colors, while others may be dyed or otherwise altered in coloration for a more original look. In any case, what you should look for is a well-constructed peacock feather hair extension where the feather is firmly affixed to the strand, there are no loose strands hanging or frayed looking feather ends, and the colors are bright and vibrant.

How to Purchase Peacock Feather Hair Extensions

Whether you choose to install your peacock feather hair extensions yourself or have them installed in a salon setting, you can either purchase them from a local salon or from one of the wide variety of online retailers that specialize in hair extensions. A simple internet search for "peacock feather hair extensions" will offer you a wealth of options, many of which will allow you to obtain your own set of peacock feather hair extensions for less than $20 per extension. If you elect to purchase peacock feather hair extensions online, be sure the website offers a money back guarantee, as peacock feathers tend to be more delicate than other types of commonly used feathers. You will want to inspect the quality before accepting your order.

How to Install Peacock Feather Hair Extensions

Peacock feather hair extensions will come with a tiny clip or bead that attaches the extension to your natural hair in a very secure hold. It is important to make sure that the clip or bead is easy to take in or out for when you want to wash or style your hair. For most types of feather hair extensions, you can style them and treat them just like normal hair and there won't be any problems, but due to the delicate nature of the peacock feather, trying to do the same for peacock feather hair extensions is likely to destroy them. If you feel unsure about installing them yourself, you can have your salon do it for a nominal fee.
