I FINALLY found a local fishing store that has hackle feathers. I want to purchase them and DIY. I want to know if anyone knows how to bond the feathers together prior to putting them in your hair. I have read that you use Keratin... I just dont know how. Any advise from anyone?

I bought feathers from a fishing store also..Im not bonding mine although you can if your planning on doing bundles...get this things called shrinkies to bond them. How much were your feathers? What did you get saddle hackel or neck?

I got a great deal. I paid $21.00 for #2 Saddle Grizzly. They charged me wrong. It was supposed to be $60.00 but when I went to the register it was $21.00. I need to figure out the whole coloring thing. I dont know if I will sell them online (etsy). I might just make some and sell around where I live. I am so excited. I havent done a DIY in so long. I just hope that it comes out right. Im kinda nervous. I dont want to ruin any feathers. OH.... and I will post pics once Im done.

P.S. Here is a picture of what I bought.

@Keshonta...They are all different lengths. Some are really short and others are long.
@Janelle... do you think that Manic Panic would work? I am trying to find something that I have locally so I dont have to order over the internet.

I didn't think of that! I actually went to a local salon and got it bonded, 3 feathers for $25. It was cheaper than these websites that sell the kits! Def post pic when you're done!

What are you using to dye the feathers? I haven't been able to find anywhere that explains how to do it.

I am going to use Ritt Dye. I have been meaning to try it... but school is taking up so much of my time. I think about it all the time... I am going to try to find time to do it this weekend or around July 4th. The sooner the better.
