Picasso Hair Feathers, International Web Distributor, Announces the Immediate Availability of Cruelty-Free Feather Hair Extensions
NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 2012 -- Picasso Hair Feathers, a major Internet distributor of feather hair extensions, is today announcing the availability of its cruelty-free feather hair extensions.
According to the business owner, Kate Manigold, traditional feather hair extensions are taken from roosters who have been killed for the express purpose of "harvesting" these feathers. "Cruelty-free" feather hair extensions, on the other hand, are not taken from the animal, eliminating any acts of violence or mistreatment to the animal.
Quoting Manigold, "Most people are not aware that traditional feather hair extensions are taken from roosters that have been specifically bred for that purpose, even being genetically modified to produce the length and texture that consumers are looking for. Those feathers are taken from the rump of the rooster, and they take years to grow.
The rooster is then simply killed and the feathers are taken. We consider this to be barbaric, and we want to offer an alternative that is more fun, fashionable and stylish."
Picasso Hair Feathers (http://www.picassohairfeathers.com)
has opted for a different approach. "We offer a high-quality synthetic feather material, one that is not taken off of an animal at all. They are heat-resistant and look and feel just like natural ones -- the most important thing, though, is that no animal has been harmed in any way. We believe that this not just good business, but that significant moral and ethical issues are at stake here as well."
According to Manigold, these cruelty-free feather hair extensions are actually superior to those harvested from
animals: "The texture of animal hair feathers kink very easily so the wearer will probably have to replace them a lot. Because our hair feathers are kink-free you won't ruin your extensions while trying to detangle them after periods of activity like exercising, dancing, or being out-of-doors."
"Another issue with traditional animal hair feathers,"
according to Manigold, "is that their length can vary quite a bit. You order a pack of feather extensions and open it up to find that some are long and some are short -- too short to even use. Our cruelty-free feather hair extensions -- like our very popular Blushing Beauty hair feathers
(http://tinyurl.com/3dwtacs) -- are always sent in lengths that are 14 inches. This gives you plenty of length to use them in any way you desire. You are not going to pay for extensions that are just too short to use. We try to make these extensions as easy to insert as possible. We offer custom color combinations and an easy-to-apply lock and loop system so that you do not need extra tools, other than your household pliers. We want everyone to know that you can avoid all these senseless bird deaths, while at the same time embracing this fun, sexy and stylish way to spice up any boring hairstyle."
