When It Comes To Hair Feathers, Quality Matters.

Wondering Where To Buy Hair Feathers Near Me?

With the wide range of feather extension options on the market, It can be tricky to decide which hair feathers are best for you. However, remember that not all hair feathers are created equal - some offer greater quality than others. So, how do you make your ultimate decision? This guide will provide you with the knowledge of the most important elements that make up hair feathers and why there are different quality feathers available.

What Are Hair Feathers?

Hair feathers, also known as feather extensions, are available in either real feathers, which are rooster feathers, or synthetic feathers which are fake synthetic plastic materials. Feather Extensions are a popular way to add fun style and color to your hair without having to make permanent changes to your hair color. For the intent of this article, we will only address authentic real rooster hair feathers.

Quality Matters, Here are a couple of reasons why:

There are two types, or grades, of rooster feathers. Those sold as Fashion Hair Feathers and those sold as Fly-Tying Feathers.

What Is The Difference?

Fashion Grade rooster feathers are of superior quality. This means that rooster feathers have to meet certain criteria to uphold the superior standards of the fashion industry. Only premium-quality rooster feathers can pass inspection to be categorized as Fashion Hair Feathers. If the rooster feathers are not up to fashion-grade standards they are sold for use in the fly-tying shops. This makes them available for purchase by the fishing industry for fly-tying material. Some sellers source their hair feathers from fly-tying shops and sell them as Premium Hair Feathers.  

Fashion Grade Hair Feathers

Fashion Grade Hair Feathers, more commonly known as Premium Grade Hair Feathers - are vastly more durable compared with Fly-Tying Feathers.

The better quality of Premium-Grade Fashion Hair Feathers ensures that the feathers are not flawed or too thin which makes them much more resistant to breaking and damage caused by styling. They can be washed, straightened and even curled without fear of damaging them. If you want your feather extensions to last longer and be able to style them without fear of damaging them, premium grade is the way to go.

Fly-Tying Feathers

Now you may be asking yourself what is fly-tying. Fly-tying is a fly fishing technique that uses feathers attached to a hook. These feathers, known as “tying materials”, help create a realistic-looking lure that attracts fish.

Let's dive further into the reason fly-tying feathers are not considered premium-grade fashion hair feathers but are instead sent to fly shops. Below is some, but not all, of the reasons some rooster feathers are not graded as premium quality hair feathers:

Flawed Feathers

Broken Tips - The damaged and shabby tips of the feathers make them entirely unsuitable for use in your hair since they are the most noticeable part.

Fragmented Feathers - Lack of feathers along the length of a feather weakens its durability and increases susceptibility to breakage.

Width of Feather

Those deemed too thin to be premium-grade fashion hair feathers are sent straight to the fly tie shops. The very thin nature of these feathers makes them delicate and far easier to break and less durable.

Feather Markings and Patterns

Striped feathers, often referred to as grizzly feathers, can be unattractive on some lessor-grade feathers. They can look blurry and are often too close together. However, high-grade hair feather displays the most beautiful black markings that you won't be able to resist!

Length of Feathers

The hottest hair feathers right now are very long. Long hair feathers have graced the fashion world with their beauty. Because these long feather extensions are not sold in fly-ting shops, it is difficult for hair feather retailers to obtain them, that's why you may find many sellers running out or refusing to sell large quantities of these stunning hair feathers!

We should also mention color longevity

When it comes to Hair Feathers, the colorant used to dye them is just as important for their longevity. High-grade feathers will be dyed using premium mineral dyes which are highly resistant to fading. Premium-grade hair feather extensions are designed to last with their vibrant colors remaining intact.

When it comes to hair feather extensions, quality is of the utmost importance. The difference between premium fashion-grade and fly-tying-grade feathers is significant. We hope this article has helped you understand the difference between hair feathers, so you can make an informed decision on which type is right for your needs.
