Get Your Wings With Rooster Feathers

The flamboyant Steven Tyler is known to parade in the latest fashion, well whatever he chooses to wear. The American Idol judge is certainly used to trends and he’s got the cash to buy whatever he wants.

Steven has hair salons smiling and he’s got fly fishermen frowning. How does a song and dance man who has a penchant for style get himself into such a plight of feather fancy? Steven helped to start a trend by wearing feather hair extensions on American Idol, the kind that are made from rooster feathers.

Fly fishermen use the fly lure in the art of fishing. Artificial flies are made from bird feathers, animal fur, hair and a host of other things. Demand has been particulary high this summer for the lures with feathers because the trend setters are buying up all the rooster feathers. That’s supply and demand for you.

As for Tom Whiting, the president and owner of Whiting Farms, Inc, a vacation is a hard thing to come by these days. Tom calls it a hackle business.

While fly shops around the country run out of feathers, hair stylists are gaining flocks of customers that want the pricey feathers adorned in their hair. Business seems to be booming for them. Gabrielle Aquaro is one among many of stylists that has discovered the feather-in-hair trend.

What famous celebrities are going with this trend? Steven Tyler, Miley Cyrus, and Hilary Duff are sporting the feather hair extensions @ Amazon.
