Pretty Plumage
They're a little hippy, a little rock-and-roll. Clip-in feathers are flocking to an ULTA near you.

“The feathers are a low-commitment thing I can get on board with,” says feather-wearer Mandy Thyholt Morrison of Gig Harbor, Wash. “I love the pop of color and that people look twice to figure out if I really have feathers in my hair. Yep, I'm 30 years old and I have feathers in my hair.”

Try out Mia Clip-n-Feathers, which come in four colors—pink, blue, purple and natural—and will definitely help your style stand out.

Colors Nature Never Intended
Sometimes, you just want to step outside the hair dye box and be a little daring. But you also have to go to work on Monday. Enter HairUWear Human Hair Color Strips Extensions in colors like pink, purple, teal and blue.

The 16-inch-long clip-in extensions can be cut, curled or straightened to blend in with your natural style, but add a stunning streak of color for a day or two.

Jenny Alida, a hairstylist at the Unity Salon in Fullerton, Calif., says clip-in color “adds a funky edge without the commitment. They are great to add in school colors for the big game, match a special event gown or just add some cool colors to an otherwise normal hair color.

A Different Kind of Hair Extension
If you're like me, any hairstyle more complicated than a ponytail requires a professional's help. Luckily, now we have a couple of “cheats” to help us out.
