Feathers!

Who's to blame? Well, the Hollywood hipsters that's who.

If you haven't already taken notice, feathers are now becoming all the rave. They can be worn as hair extentions, in headbands, on cocktail hats or even just as pins. The most popular trend thus far though, are the hair extentions.

Who's to blame? Well, the Hollywood hipsters that's who. You can find stars such as: Hillary Duff, Steven Tyler and Lauren Conrad rocking this new trend. They were also spotted at a certain Royal Wedding you may have heard about.

How it works! The feathers are attached with a small metal clasp and can last 4- 12 weeks. After, they can be repositioned or may break due to the durability of the specific feather and the wear and tear. Feathers come in all different colors, shapes and sizes. You can wear then in many ways as well: glam, rock, or even chic. Three to four feathers is the ideal number to stick to from a hairdresser's advice.

How expensive you ask? The typical price of a feather extention is anywhere from $15 to a whopping $400. The more exotic the feather, the pricier it can be. Also think high end. Think high prices. Your local economy shops tend to offer the best prices.

Interested? Shop around, call ahead, and don't be afraid to walk in and ask. This trend may only last a short while. We are thinking summer, but until fall this is only a guess. Give it a try. We love it and you will too. — L&A
