Feather Hair Accessories In Ancient Times

Feathers have been used as hair adornments for centuries. However, people in the past wore them as a sign of identity rather than just for decorative purposes. There were many tribes around the world that use feathers to symbolize bravery or sexual prowess. They were also used to identify which tribe someone belonged to. Certain feathers like bald eagle feathers were also considered sacred. The bird wasbelieved to have a connection with God and became the symbol of strength, courage and wisdom.  You may also notice from movies orhistory books that men and women in the Middle Ages also wore feathers on their head. At that time, they were used to indicate a certain social status. Feathers were in vogue in the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, many women wore hats that were decorated withfeathers. As a result of this, the Migratory Bird Act was implemented by the US government in 1918 to save birds like gulls, egrets and pelicans from extinction. 

Feathers Hair Accessories In Today’s Fashion

Today, feathers are used solely for decorative purposes. Feather hair extensions are the hottest new trend this year and they are popularized by celebrities like Hillary Duff and Steven Tyler. This hair accessory is perfect for all ages and they are easy to maintain. For this spring, bird feather hair extensions are making a comeback. They are available in many different colors and lengths.

To clean the feathers, you only need to wash them thoroughly with a mild shampoo. Heat styling is allowed but make sure that you use low temperature setting to avoid damage.
