BIRD-BRAINED “Feather extensions are the summer hair trend,” says Sam Brocato of the Sam Brocato Salon in SoHo. “They’re low-maintenance, and totally whimsical and fun.” The extensions can be applied at his salon for $45, a process that takes approximately 15 minutes. They’re clamped on using a link and hook, which holds them in place without glue, so they won’t damage your locks. You can even wash and curl your hair while they’re in. With attentive care and the occasional touch-up, they can last more than three months before finally molting. 42 Wooster St., sambrocatosalon.com. Want to DIY? Order a flock of extensions from Fine Featherheads, which lets you choose your colors (they use dyed rooster feathers!) and provides a tiny tool kit to apply them. There’s also an instructional video online. Buy a pack for $39 at birchbox.com.
