I know it is the beginning of the year and you are super loaded with lots of homework and everything already, but I hope you can spare a little time for a mini lesson I would like to teach you all. I promise it will be super quick, and much more useful than anything you'll learn in American Heritage or Physics 105.
Allow me to introduce....a REAL feather!

Yes, birds have these. They are usually neutral tones so that the creature is able to blend into its environment and not get completely destroyed by predators. They are usually wider at the top, and then tapered down to allow the bird to fly. Because feathers are meant to help birds fly.
Now, let's see Exhibit B: Things that are NOT feathers

And certainly nothing on this head:

Perhaps it is just my science background, but can we really not see the difference here people?? I must admit, I am completely baffled by this new feather extension hair trend thing. When I first heard of it, I thought it might be cool. Since I have brown hair, I thought a soft, light brown feather clipped in with a natural color and natural blend might be kind of fun. But since I've seen them lately all over campus, I really think this trend has taken a nosedive in the WRONG direction. The ones I see everywhere are obnoxiously colored, and stick out like you got something stuck in your hair after you rolled out of bed this morning! Why?

Maybe I am just a Negative Nancy, or maybe I'm too old now to know "what's cool," but to me, I feel like accessories should enhance your natural beauty and style, not make someone think, "What is that in her hair??" So if you are in love with this style and believe that it must be for you, I beg you, please go for a more natural, less neon look. Thank you.
