The Feather Hair Extension Trend Faces a Tragic Feather Shortage (Plus a Gallery of Starlets Using Them Up)

Surely you've heard of hair feathering by now. No, it's not what the original Charlie's Angels did in the '70s. It's the act of incorporating feathers into your hairstyle, sort of like Pocahontas, but much hipper. We have been warily watching this trend for a while now, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Indeed, it's reached ridiculous proportions. Women are now storming fly fishing shops to get their hands on "hackles," long rooster feathers that supposedly make the best extensions. Well, they also make the best fly fishing lures and fishermen are pissed off that they can't get them anymore. "For real?" you're asking. Yes. One of Glamour's Girls in the Beauty Department asked her fly fishing husband if this could possibly be true; he confirmed that feathers that used to sell for $20 are now $300. We asked our favorite hair guru, Chris Lospalluto from the Sally Hershberger Salon, to shed some light. He confirmed that most major sites that sell the feathers are sold out or you have to be "industry," although you can scour Etsy and craft stores and still find them. And as far as the longevity of the trend? He's already scheduled to do a "bunch" for Fashion's Night Out. WHICH IS IN SEPTEMBER. So, if you're entrepreneurial, you'll start snapping up all the feathers you can find and sell them at a premium on eBay. In the meantime, click through to see all the celebs who've sported the trend (trust us, you'll be very surprised at some of the ladies you see here).

Women are now

Steven Tyler is an abuser of this trend.

If Selena Gomez does it and she landed

It's Lauren Hutton, with an orange feather (and very strange eyes). It's not just for the under-30 crowd.

Paula Abdul is wearing a feather scrunchie.

We like Jennifer Love Hewitt's yellow. Are they from Big Bird?

This is a Duff sister. We think it's Haylie.

Roseanne Barr wore feather extensions on Oprah.

Miley Cyrus went with acid colors.

Beyonce is wearing tinsel instead of feathers. Perhaps this is what people should move to after we run out of feathers. At least there's an endless supply.

The biggest shock? We couldn't find a single image of a Kardashian sister wearing a hair feather.

I spent last weekend in Las Vegas at Cosmoprof, which is an industry conference where small beauty brands can get hooked up with buyers, distributors, and salon owners. Meeting and talking to entrepreneurs is one of the best parts of my job, and I was eager to speak to them about their impressions of the industry and to scout out trends-in-the-making. There was tons of great stuff, which I'll be reporting on all week. I came upon the booth for Hair Flairs, a small company that sells feather and tinsel hair extensions. The creative director, Trina Marr, was more than willing to dish about all the controversy in the hair feathering industry. Turns out there's a lot.

Prediction: Lauren Conrad's New Tie Dyed Hair Is Going to Be a Huge Trend (Plus a Photographic Look Back at the Dip Dye Hair Trend)

Lauren Conrad has been getting democratic on her beauty blog, thebeautydepartment, letting readers make grooming decisions for her. Her latest is a doozy, and we suspect it’s going to be a HUGE hair trend. As seen at left, she did a hybrid dip dye/tie dye hair color. It looks absolutely sick (in the good sense of the term) and if my hair wasn’t so damn short right now I’d run out and do the same thing.

The Fate of Galliano's Perfume (Plus Fragrance News from Beyonce, Heidi Klum, and Mariah Carey)

It’s a very juicy day for fragrance today. From Galliano to Mariah Carey, everyone has some scent news to report. Will Galliano’s Perfume Survive?: First up, it seems that Galliano’s fragrance, whose sales took a nosedive after the scandal hit this past winter, is rebounding. While Galliano’s second fragrance, Parlez-Moi d’Amour, launched in Europe last fall, the company has held off on its US launch, which was supposed to happen this spring. In obvious markets like Israel, WWD reports that the scent took a hit. Certain retailers in Germany and the UK were also reluctant to stock it. But now it seems that the industry has a short memory and retailers, who point to the quality of the fragrance and popularity with consumers, are willing to sell it again.
