How To Put Hair Feathers In Your Hair| Easy DIY Tutorial

Posted by Feather My Head on 20th Mar 2023

Ready to liven up your locks with a new look? Feather Hair Extensions are a great way to do just that!


They come in various colors, textures, and lengths, so there's something for everyone. Plus, they're easy to put in - all you need is some basic supplies. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to put hair feathers into your hair quickly and easily. So let's get started!

How To Attach Feather hair extensions

Feather Extensions are attached to your own hair using tiny silicone-lined beads. The beads come in a variety of colors, so you can easily match them with your existing hair color. To attach the feathers, simply slide one end of the feather into the bead and use pliers to close it securely. This will keep your feathers secure and prevent them from slipping out over time.

We strongly urge against the use of glue when attaching hair feathers. Not only can it be a cumbersome and messy process, but it also has the potential to harm your locks while making removal more difficult!

Choosing the Perfect feather hair extensions

The trendiest feathers today are long and thin. The most sought-after lengths range from 14 to 16 inches. You have two different feather choices, the Grizzly pattern, with its striking black and white stripes, or a solid design without any stripes.

They are available in all colors of the rainbow in shades of pink, blue, purple, red, yellow, and green. There are rainbow hair feathers that will have multiple colors on one feather for a rainbow tie-dye effect.

For a truly feathery look, you can opt to fit up to five different feathers in one bead. However, most choose two or three.

To create a vibrant and eye-catching look, pick colors that are in contrast with one another when placed side by side.

To instantly add a summery vibe, go for two feathers in hot pink and bright green. If you'd like to make a bold statement, opt for one striking hue such as electric blue or yellow that will pop out amongst your hair.

To achieve a more natural look, opt for two to three feathers in shades of browns or creams that vary in length.

When selecting feathers, we recommend investing in quality. Choose heat-resistant products of the highest caliber to guarantee they can easily withstand everyday use and tear.

Supplies, Tools, and Products

  1. Feather Hair Extensions of your selected quality and length
  2. Silicone-Lined Beads, also called micro link or crimp beads, attach feathers. It's a good idea to match the color of the bead to your hair at the roots near your scalp.
  3. Threader tool also called the looping tool or hook used to guide or thread hair through the looping tool.
  4. Pliers - Needle nose pliers are an absolute must to install and remove beads. Pliers are used to squeeze, flatten and clamp down on the micro link. If you're looking for a professional-grade pair, try ones with three holes––it will make the removal process significantly easier!
  5. Small Scissors
  6. Comb - Although a tail comb with a pointed tip works best, it is not essential.
  7. Sectioning Clips and bobby pins are used to hold up the top layer or sections of your hair.
Hair Feather placement

For a natural vibe, randomly scatter hair feathers throughout your tresses near the top and around your face. If you want to stand out from the crowd, why not experiment with different shades and hues? Mixing it up is an excellent way to craft a one-of-a-kind look!

Easily Attach Your Feather Extensions with These Simple Step-by-Step Directions!
  1. Gather all the materials you will need to apply your hair feather extensions
  2. Start preparing your hair for the feathers by creating sections and using the clips to hold them in place. You want the top layer of your hair to hide the crimp bead.
  3. Prep Your Threader with the attachment beads by threading a bead onto the loop tool by carefully pushing it through the hole of the attachment bead. Afterward, slide the bead down toward its handle. Pro Tip - You can put several beads onto the threader at one time.
  4. Using your fingers, grab a few strands of your hair, make sure the scalp roots are close together; not too much hair, nor too little. You'll want just enough hair so that your extensions lie flush against your head - we suggest 8 to 10 strands. Slip the strands of hair through the open area in the tool for easy application.

    Pro Tip - You want the feathers to lay flat against your head. Make sure the feathers are laying last against your scalp.

  5. Begin by threading a small section of your hair through the open part of the loop tool. Then, press the bead up against your hair and pull it down on the device until both ends slide securely through it.
  6. Carefully slide the crimp bead towards the hair roots for secure attachment.
  7. Gently insert the tips of your feathers into the beads, making sure to push them all the way through until their tips come out on the other side. Make sure you position them so that they are facing downward. For optimal comfort, make sure to lay the feather flat against your head. Using your pliers squeeze the bead. Use scissors to snip away any tips that may be visible outside of the bead - yet take caution not to cut your locks in the process! Gently comb through the feathers to ensure they rest comfortably on your head. Pro Tip - With a bonding glue, you can effortlessly join the feather tips into one piece and place them inside your chosen bead.
  8. Keep adding feathers until you've achieved the look you want.
  9. Trim any excess feathers that may be sticking out too far.
  10. Finally, you're ready to style your hair and show off your new look!
